pair of tall Art Deco table lamps carved from softly veined alabaster. Each lamp has an elegant, trumpet‑shaped shade in translucent milky‑white stone that flares gently at the rim and would diffuse light with a warm glow. Around the lower section of each shade are three concentric horizontal bands in a warmer pink‑amber alabaster, creating a strong geometric accent and emphasizing the vertical profile. The shades sit on short, faceted cylindrical socles of the same amber stone, which in turn rest on small alabaster discs and square dark‑stone bases, giving the lamps a stepped, architectural footing typical of late 1920s–30s design.
