Set of Two Salvaged Alabaster Lamp Bases, Hand-Carved Neoclassical Urn, Vintage Italian Export

This set of two salvaged, hand-carved alabaster lamp bases offers a striking architectural presence for curated interiors. Carved in an elegant Neoclassical urn silhouette, the heavy stone columns feature a classic overlapping leaf motif across the central baluster and upper cap, resting securely on a tiered square plinth. The natural stone showcases beautiful, organic veining in warm creams, soft whites, and rich caramel tones that vary uniquely across each piece. Characteristic of salvaged vintage pieces, they display authentic wear, including minor edge chips and a visible stress line or historical repairs that blend into the natural veining. The hollowed undersides and top threaded hardware remain as charming testaments to their original electrical purpose.

Stripped of their outdated wiring and shades, these substantial mid-century Italian export pieces now function beautifully as pure sculptural obelisks. Their classical form makes them exceptional anchors for a mantel display, substantial bookends flanking a row of antique volumes in a moody Dark Academia library, or highly textural accent pieces within a Hollywood Regency vignette. The hollow top pipes can even be utilized to hold dried botanicals or dramatic pheasant feathers for an elevated accent.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
