Meticulously hand-carved from solid translucent alabaster, the lamp exudes an ethereal glow that radiates through its delicately veined stone. The urn-shaped shade, with its graceful contours and warm amber inclusions, crowns an elegantly sculpted baluster form resting atop a fluted column pedestal reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture. When illuminated, the piece reveals a mesmerizing play of light and shadow, enhancing the natural beauty of the alabaster’s marbling.

Every detail — from the perfectly balanced proportions to the smooth, hand-polished surfaces — speaks to Alabastros’ mastery of the medium. This 100% authentic and signed 1930 creation remains in exceptional condition, embodying the grandeur and refinement of the Neoclassical revival period.

A striking focal point for the discerning collector, this lamp and pedestal ensemble is not merely a source of light, but a sculptural masterpiece — merging fine art, function, and timeless elegance.
