This Italian table lamp from the 1940s/50s exemplifies hand-crafted mid-century neoclassicism. The carved and polished base reveals warm, creamy-yellow alabaster, featuring subtle marbling and natural tonal transitions that allow for a gentle interplay of light within the stone. Its form is defined by a central spherical section, a slender neck, and a cylindrical pedestal, all linked by finely textured rings. A shallow relief garland motif on the base references classical Italian decorative traditions. The lamp is finished with a contemporary, slightly conical white lampshade with a matte surface, gently diffusing the light. It is fitted with an E27 socket and a cable switch. The lamp remains in very good condition, with no visible damage or significant wear; the alabaster retains a nuanced, natural patina. This piece speaks in the refined voice of Italian neoclassicism, as it found a new equilibrium between tradition and modernity in the postwar era. The polished alabaster, reminiscent of a Mediterranean dawn, casts a soft, diffused glow from within. The carved garland conjures images of Roman villas and tranquil courtyards, while the lamp’s proportions suggest the restraint of Italian design—a form that does not overpower, but instead accompanies daily life with quiet harmony. The lamp may be used as a standalone
