About the Item
A refined pair of alabaster table lamps, handcrafted in France around 1890. These elegant pieces exemplify the decorative taste of the late 19th century, when natural materials and classical forms were highly sought after in refined interiors.
Entirely made of carved alabaster, both the turned bases and the cylindrical shades display the stone’s signature creamy translucency, enhanced by natural veining and subtle tonal variations. When lit, the alabaster diffuses a soft, warm glow, creating a gentle ambient light ideal for intimate spaces.
The turned baluster-shaped bases and fluted rims on the shades evoke a neoclassical elegance, while the proportions remain understated and harmonious. The shades are carved from solid alabaster and hollowed out to accommodate light fittings — a rare feature that highlights the craftsmanship of the era.
Each lamp is slightly unique in its veining and hue, bearing the marks of hand-finishing and over a century of graceful aging. They are sold as-is and can be rewired to meet U.S. electrical standards upon request.
A timeless and atmospheric pair that will elevate any space with quiet sophistication and historical character.
