Classical Crystal Urn Table Lamp with Brass Acanthus Handles & Floral Swag

Design & Inspiration

Inspired by the grandeur of French Louis XVI interiors, this classical crystal urn table lamp is a masterwork of decorative lighting. The urn-shaped body, meticulously faceted in clear crystal, commands attention with its timeless silhouette — evoking the opulence of European palace décor. Flanking the body are boldly sculpted brass acanthus-leaf handles, while a delicately cast brass floral swag drapes across the crystal, adding a romantic, regal flourish. The ornate square brass base, adorned with egg-and-dart and acanthus relief motifs, anchors the composition with authoritative elegance.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This luxury table lamp unites three distinguished materials: hand-cut ribbed crystal, hand-cast solid brass fittings, and a fine pleated fabric shade. The crystal body is precision-cut with vertical fluted ribs and pointed facets, creating a brilliant interplay of light and shadow. The brass mounts — the encircling collar, ornate side handles, floral garland, and sculpted base — are individually cast and finished by skilled Egyptian artisans at Brass & Wood. The off-white pleated shade is trimmed with a gold gimp braid, harmonising perfectly with the warm brass tones below.

Dimensions & Details

This table lamp features a shade diameter of approximately 50 cm, providing generous ambient illumination suitable for large living rooms, master bedrooms, or grand reception halls. The lamp accepts a standard E27 (Edison Screw) bulb up to 60W and is compatible with both 110V and 220V power systems. The ornate brass base ensures stability, while the overall composition creates a striking vertical presence on any side table or console.
