Gorgeous white, gray, and tan marbling of this natural stone. The tan color suggests a presence of iron oxide. The fluted column glows in sunlight-just beautiful!

While the varietal marbling makes each lamp interestingly unique on its own, the vertical faces of the cubed base showcases sparkling free form ovals on both lamps suggesting the cubes are from the same stone providing a fantastic matched lamp pair.

Also delightful is the fluted column turns on the base allowing you to choose the design or colors you want facing forward.

Good vintage condition with corner nicks and scuffs on flutes. Imperfections are shown inherent to organic and hand carved pieces. The top two sections are shown adhered together-See photos.

Original wiring and vintage bakelite socket. In working order-see photos.

Heavy weight - each lamp weighs 14 lbs 8 oz.

Measures: Height to top of alabaster is 23” with 5.5” square base. Add to that the height of the harp.

Included is a 7” harp which suits the shades shown in photo.

While the tweed shades are not included-they are available in a separate listing. less
