Medici alabaster vase lamp

What I love about alabaster is seeing the light reveal its warm shades. This suddenly translucent aspect creates a soothing atmosphere inviting contemplation, while adding a sophisticated touch to your decor. The medici vase is a large outdoor vase intended for the ornamentation of roman gardens. From the renaissance, its return sparked a decorative fashion that reached the parks of the greatest european palaces such as versailles, where jean cornu sculpted 3 replicas to decorate the latona parterre. The name medici vase comes from this wealthy italian family who owned the original example of this piece. Its bell shape with a curved edge is reminiscent of the tulip and is perfectly suited to a lamp whose white alabaster provides superb luminosity. Dimensions: height: 19cm diameter of the halo: 14cm.
