Antique Opaline Glass And Elephant Base Table Lamp, C. 1920s

Chairish

$1,500

A striking antique table lamp featuring a sculptural base of four elephants supporting a lotus-shaped opaline glass shade. The glass top exhibits beautiful milky blue and white veining, glowing warmly when illuminated. The base is cast metal with a verdigris patina, detailed with ornate elephant figures in a circular formation—each trunk raised in unison to uphold the lamp bowl. This piece is a rare example of early 20th-century decorative design, likely produced in Europe in the 1920s–1930s, when exotic motifs and animal symbolism were popular in both Art Deco and Orientalist interiors. The glass shade recalls the onion domes of Russian and Moorish architecture, creating a fairytale-like silhouette. This enchanting lamp evokes the spirit of The Wizard of Oz’s Emerald City—its verdigris elephant base and glowing opaline dome reminiscent of the magical world of Oz and Wicked décor.
