Few materials carry the quiet luxury of hand-carved alabaster, and this Italian lamp is a masterclass in the craft. The globular body is covered in deeply sculpted roses and leafy foliage in high relief — a labor-intensive technique synonymous with the master carvers of Volterra, Tuscany, Italy’s centuries-old center of alabaster artistry. The natural veining of the stone glows through the slender columnar neck, which rises to meet the carved body and terminates in a delicate capital detail. Below, a turned socle transitions to a square plinth base raised on small gilt feet — giving the lamp a grounded, architectural presence without sacrificing elegance. The original pleated ivory silk shade with cord trim is included and complements the creamy warmth of the stone beautifully. A piece that works as effortlessly in a traditional library or bedroom as it does anchoring a maximalist or Hollywood Regency interior. Height to top of alabaster 17.5 “ Shade W 16.5” x H 14.5”
