This exquisite three-light candelabra table lamp, a singular masterpiece, commands attention with its intricate details and ethereal presence.

At its heart, the spelter cherub emerges from a large, hand-carved alabaster flower, its petals elegantly unfurling in a soft, creamy white. His delicate features are framed by soft auburn curls enhancing the warmth of his smooth, peach-toned skin.

The cherub is caught mid-movement, ready to take a step off the intricate bronze-colored scrolled tendrils that entwine at the base. His eyes still shut, as though he’s just awakened from a long slumber. A gentle white dove alights on his left shoulder, as if it has come to greet him.

Draped over his left shoulder is a cascade of silk-like fabric, a rich blue that contrasts beautifully with the alabaster’s purity. The fabric glimmers softly, its texture suggesting a whisper of breeze, cascading from his left shoulder, over his left wing, down his back and curving around his right hip.

Perched upon his head is an alabaster disk supporting a perforated filigree brass cylinder from which long, slender green leaves sprout evoking images of the vibrancy of spring. See less
