France, 1950s
 
A handsome pair of vintage carved urn table lamps, full of warmth, texture and rustic charm. Beautifully proportioned with rounded terracotta bodies giving them a tactile, handcrafted quality.
 
The gently aged surface has a lovely earthy character, with subtle tonal variation and natural speckling throughout. Brass fittings and wooden ball finials add a refined traditional detail.
 
Elegant without feeling formal, this pair would sit beautifully in a country house, rustic Mediterranean interior, French farmhouse scheme, cottage bedroom, library or relaxed living room. Their warm neutral palette makes them easy to place, while the ribbed urn shape gives them a sculptural decorative presence.
