Alabaster Cross Table Lamp

A monumental presence at nearly forty inches tall, this John Richard lamp is composed of alabaster and bronzed brass in a cross silhouette that reads as both ancient and rigorously contemporary. The translucent stone — quarried in its own geological time — holds light from within, casting a warm, diffused luminescence that no manufactured material can replicate. Broad in its nineteen-by-twenty-inch footprint, it commands a console, a library table, or a generous bedside with the authority of a sculptural object rather than a mere source of light.
