The architectural obelisk-shaped body is meticulously encrusted with a vibrant collage of antique china shards, featuring classic blue and white Transferware and delicate hand-painted floral porcelain. Each fragment is artfully set within a textured, bronzed grout that provides a rich, tactile framework for the intricate composition. A recessed cross motif on the primary face adds a layer of symbolic depth, suggesting this piece was crafted as a meaningful "memory" object, blending artisanal tradition with a unique, soulful aesthetic.


Mounted on a substantial square wood plinth, this lamp measures 8.75 inches square at the base and stands 15.5 inches tall to the top of the socket. Its eclectic mix of Chinoiserie patterns and rustic textures makes it a versatile accent for a Boho Chic entryway or a curated home library. The piece is in great vintage condition, displaying minor scuffs to the wood base and an attractive, aged patina on the brass hardware that underscores its authentic mid-century heritage. As a one-of-a-kind sculptural luminary, it offers a compelling narrative for any interior. We invite you to add this distinctive piece of hand-crafted history to your collection today. See less
