Timeless Art Deco pendant lamp in carved alabaster with black veins, 1920s

This pendant lamp reflects the Art Deco style of the 1920s, constructed from a large plate-shaped piece of alabaster with dramatic black and grey veins running through the light stone. The alabaster is carved into a low, rounded bowl that curves gently from the base to a wide rim, allowing light to pass through the translucent stone and highlight its natural veins. The piece is suspended by three braided cords in an elegant warm colour, each finished with decorative knots and attached to the alabaster with polished brass hooks, with an alabaster cap covering the point where the cords join the ceiling. The lamp has a single light point and is wired for use in the United States, ready to install. Its wide, low profile and diffuse light make it suitable for a dining room, staircase, foyer, or any space seeking soft ambient lighting rather than direct overhead light. The combination of warm cord, brass fittings, and veined stone gives the piece a tactile, timeless, and sculptural presence that has kept this type of 1920s alabaster lamp popular among lighting collectors.
