Art Deco Alabaster Dome Table Lamp

Inspired by the desk lamps of the 1920s, this table lamp pairs a half dome of alabaster with a broad brass-finish collar. It is carried on a fluted brass-finish column that widens as it rises and stands on a shallow circular foot. The stone is the only soft element on an otherwise architectural piece. It has the height and formality for a working surface, so it belongs on a desk, a hall console, a library table or a wide sideboard. Light falls down through the open dome onto the surface, which makes it a lamp for reading by.
