Circa 1870. Exceptional French ewer-form lamp carved in creamy alabaster, featuring a sculptural serpent-form handle with stylized scale and foliate detailing. The elegant Neoclassical silhouette is further enhanced with gilt metal bands at the neck and base. Inspired by Louis XVI design, this refined 19th-century decorative object has been converted into a lamp and offers timeless European presence. A striking statement piece for a console, library, or bedside, with beautiful translucency when illuminated.
