Marbro Alabaster Lamp, circa 1970

This elegant table lamp features a warm terracotta alabaster body with classically carved relief details depicting grapes and foliage around the bulbous center. The piece is topped with a fitted lid, brass hardware, and a brass socket with a simple switch, creating a sophisticated accent light suitable for traditional or transitional interiors.

Circa 1970, this work represents the decorative lighting tradition of the mid-20th century, when alabaster vessels were frequently repurposed and electrified as lamps. The carved motifs and warm mineral tone reflect a design sensibility that valued naturalistic ornamentation and quality materials in functional art.
