Originally an oil lamp from a prestigious Victorian-era household, it has been sympathetically converted for modern electrical use. The marriage of cool marble and radiant gilding reflects the 19th-century obsession with the "Grand Tour" and classical antiquity. Its height (58 cm) and significant weight make it an ideal statement piece for a grand sideboard, library desk, or console table.
