Rare and authentic small vintage table lamp (circa 1960-1970) made entirely of genuine natural alabaster from Volterra, a historic center of Italian craftsmanship. This high-end nightlight or ambient lamp features a turned baluster base and a dome forming a complete cylindrical lampshade, also sculpted from solid alabaster. The remarkable specificity of this model lies in its elegant floral decoration, either screen-printed or hand-painted on the front, depicting a delicate bouquet of pansies and wildflowers in soft retro shades (mauve, ochre, blue-gray). Thanks to the unique opaline and semi-translucent properties of natural alabaster, the lamp emits a soft, warm, and incredibly diffused light when illuminated, beautifully highlighting the natural veining of the stone. Piece characteristics: Origin: Made in Italy (with its official original label Genuine Alabaster / Hand Carved / Made in Italy affixed to the base). Material: Solid natural alabaster, hand-carved. Electricity: Complete, functional, and original period electrical system (white cable with switch and European plug). Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The alabaster shows no cracks or major chips, perfectly preserving its smooth surface and floral front pattern. A very beautiful luminous collectible and decorative object from the Mid-Century, ideal for adding a chic, romantic, and mineral touch to a bedside table, dresser, or a cozy living room.
