Lot 44: Neoclassical Style Alabaster and Gilt Metal Table Lamp
A vintage table lamp featuring a central turned column and a stepped square base crafted from white-to-cream veined stone, likely alabaster. The lamp is embellished with ornate cast metal mounts, probably brass or gilt metal, decorated with neoclassical foliate and leaf patterns at the neck and base of the column. It is fitted with a brass-toned lamp holder that includes an integrated black plastic rocker switch. The unit is wired with a grey flexible cord and a modern white UK 3-pin plug. The lamp bears two adhesive labels: a small white sticker printed with 19 and an orange sticker with handwritten 44, likely inventory markings.
Condition report:
The alabaster components show minor surface scuffs and natural mineral inclusions consistent with age and material properties. The metal mounts exhibit surface oxidation, patina, and some loss to the gilt finish. The lamp is sold as an untested electrical item and must be inspected by a qualified electrician prior to use. No shade is present.
