Vintage 1970s Alabaster Lamp Base & Shade , Spanish

Add some vintage charm to your space with our 1970s Spanish Alabaster Lamp Base & Shade.

This is an extremely beautiful example of Spanish Handcrafted Design and is a particularly desirable piece.

Alabaster is a heavy stone which is similar to marble and is often used to create objects of art and decoration due to its beauty, softness and luminosity. It is also heavy and hard wearing.

This is a lamp which has previously been wired, however the cord is cut at the base but the bulb fitting is still intact inside the shade and if required this could easily be reinstated as a electrical lamp with the help of a qualified electrician.

However, in my opinion I actually think this is better suited as a candle holder and I have instead placed 4 tea light candles inside the shade which looks amazing at night as the light softly flickers though the alabaster.  If this was my lamp I would use it this way and remove the central bulb fitting which then gives you the choice of placing a larger pillar candle in the centre. The lamp could also then be placed on any shelf or in your display unit and I can guarantee it will take centre stage !
