The fragment features a classical urn-form profile with hand-carved acanthus leaf detailing and a richly aged gilt surface, exhibiting natural patina and wear consistent with its age. The form has been mounted on a custom clear acrylic base, offering a clean, contemporary contrast that allows the antique carving to visually “float.”

The lamp has been professionally rewired by Dana Creath Designs, a California-based maker known for high-end custom lighting, ensuring both quality craftsmanship and long-term functionality. It is fitted with an antique gold twisted cord and a wax-style candle sleeve, maintaining a traditional aesthetic.

The custom shade is a tailored rectangular dome form in a fine neutral linen with subtle antique gold trim, designed specifically to complement the proportions and tone of the base. When illuminated, the lamp casts a warm, ambient glow that enhances the depth of the gilt surface and the texture of the shade.

A distinctive accent piece that bridges classical European influence with modern presentation, ideal for a console, desk, or layered vignette.
