This exceptional antique piece embodies the elegance of French Empire and Neoclassical design, where architectural symmetry and luxurious materials were central to decorative arts.

The richly veined honey-toned onyx shaft rises from a stepped square plinth and is topped with a beautifully cast gilt bronze urn featuring flame-form finials — a symbol of eternal light and classical grandeur. The contrast between the translucent onyx and warm gilt bronze gives the lamp exceptional decorative presence.

A highly sculptural object that functions equally as lighting and as decorative art, ideal for a library, console, bedside, or formal salon.

Shade not included, allowing customisation to your preferred style.
