Standing a stately 21.5 inches tall, this exceptional statement piece showcases the timeless beauty of carved white natural stone paired with heavy, exquisitely detailed gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts.

The carved stone body features a beautiful, soft translucency and is flanked by two magnificent, high-relief sculptural Ram (Faun) head handles. These striking handles gracefully support deeply cast, hanging botanical fruit-and-flower garland swags that wrap around the urn. The body rests upon an integrated fluted bronze collar, leading down to a tiered, brass-bound neoclassical plinth base supported by turned, ribbed metal feet.

THE SHADE & FINIAL ASSEMBLY:
The lamp is beautifully paired with a custom-tailored, vintage oblong pink slubbed silk shade. The shade features an elegant gold-braided gimp trim along the upper and lower rims, adding a romantic, soft glow when illuminated. Crowning the piece is a heavy, solid brass neoclassical pinecone finial—a traditional historic symbol of hospitality and warmth. Because of the custom oblong shape of the frame, the orientation can be rotated or adjusted to perfectly frame the floral swags below to suit your space.

DIMENSIONS & SPECIFICATIONS:
• Total Height: 21.5 inches (measured from the base to the top of the finial)
• Width: Approx. 7.5 inches (handle to handle)
• Materials: Gilt Bronze (Ormolu), Hand-Carved Natural White Stone, Custom Tailored Silk
• Provenance: Ships from Pennsylvania, USA

CONDITION REPORT:
This lamp is in magnificent antique/vintage condition with an exceptional, rich golden patina across all bronze elements. The electrical wiring is fully operational and intact. In the interest of meticulous disclosure for fine antique collectors, the stone body displays faint, localized dark specks and micro-occlusions (such as the minor spotting near the lower corner of the plinth and by the ram’s horn). These are entirely natural mineral characteristics/iron deposits embedded within the stone's genuine grain rather than surface dirt or damage, serving as a beautiful testament to its authentic, earth-mined origin.
