Spain, mid 20th century
Alabaster, cast iron base, 17 x 10 x 10 cm
Excellent condition and full working order.
A compact table lamp from Spain, dating to the mid 20th century, composed of an alabaster cube set on a cast iron base.
The simple geometry is softened by the translucency of the stone, which when lit shifts from cool white to a warm glow, revealing subtle veining. Small circular apertures introduce graphic detail, while the elevated base gives a quietly architectural quality. For its size, the lamp has a surprisingly strong presence.
The contrast between pale alabaster and dark, oxidized metal beautifully articulates light held within weight.
