Italian Carved Alabaster Uplighter Table Lamp art particularly visible across the taperedA beautifully carved Italian alabaster uplighter dating from the 1970s. Entirely fashioned from richly veined alabaster, the lamp comprises a broad flared trumpet shade supported by an elegantly turned and fluted column, all resting on a generous domed base. The stone displays a wonderful palette of warm creams, honey tones and russet veining that becomes even more pronounced once illuminated, bathing the room in a remarkably soft, atmospheric light.
