{"product_id":"pair-of-black-marble-cassolette-lamp-86419","title":"Pair of Black Marble Cassolette Lamp Bases with Inset Marble Band — French, 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe cassolette began life as a perfume burner — a squat, footed urn shape the neoclassical decorators of the late eighteenth century borrowed for anything that needed to sit still on a mantel and look considered. By the nineteenth century the form had spread far beyond its original use, turning up as garniture, as inkstands, and — as here — as the body for a lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair keeps the classic profile: a broad tazza-shaped bowl above a turned baluster stem, widening into a stepped socle. The black marble carries a single inset band in a veined beige-and-cream stone at the base of the socle — a contrast strip let into the turning rather than painted or applied, the kind of detail that separates a piece actually turned on a lathe from one cast to resemble it. Both lamps were later wired for electricity, with brass mounts fitted through the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair has been kept together and matches closely, with a few small chips to the marble edges and nothing beyond that at a glance. Set either side of a sofa or along a console, the black body reads quietly against most finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach item is carefully and professionally packed and fully insured for worldwide shipping.
