This pair features a more refined, architectural profile, with elongated fluted forms and softly scalloped motifs that highlight the craftsmanship while allowing the warm brass surface and natural patina to take center stage. The restrained decoration gives these lamps a timeless versatility—equally at home in traditional, European-inspired interiors or more modern, curated spaces.

Each lamp is mounted on a solid Italian marble base, providing a crisp contrast to the rich brass tones and adding a sense of balance and weight.

Originally repurposed from early 20th-century French 75 mm artillery shells, these pieces represent a powerful transformation of material—objects of war turned into enduring decorative art.
