Each lamp is turned and carved from solid red marble with warm russet tones and dramatic cream veining, rising on stepped circular bases to foliate capitals.
Shades not included

Details

Period: 20th century
Materials: solid red marble; brass-tone hardware; later fabric shades with fringe
Form: turned columns with carved foliate capitals and stepped socles
Color/Stone: deep red ground with natural cream/white veining (genuine marble)

Dimensions:

Overall height with shades: 34 in
Base diameter: 7.5 in

Condition

Sound and stable. Age-appropriate surface wear to stone.
One capital shows an older loss/fill at the neck; one base with a shallow rim chip/fill—both visually sympathetic to the veining and priced in.

Why we love them

True solid marble (not composite) with imposing scale—hard to source as a matching pair.
Versatile: reads neoclassical, Hollywood glam, or eclectic depending on setting.
The natural veining means each lamp is a one-of-one sculpture.

Placement & styling

Flank a fireplace or console; let the fringe skim art for a sultry glow; pair with lacquer, gilt, or rich woods.
