Neoclassical Alabaster Vase

A striking embodiment of refined taste, this Neoclassical Alabaster Vase on stand captures the poise and elegance of late nineteenth-century decorative arts. Meticulously crafted in England during the circa 1900 period, it blends classical inspiration with turn-of-the-century sophistication, resulting in a vase that both honours and reinterprets the antique.

Origin: England
Date: Circa 1900
Material: Carved alabaster

Dimensions: Height 42 cm, Width 19 cm, Depth 19 cm

Condition: Excellent, with a superb patina and minor expected wear consistent with age.

Inspired by the grandeur of neoclassical design, this alabaster vase echoes the forms popularised by ancient Greek and Roman urns, filtered through the lens of Victorian revivalism. Similar examples can be seen in prominent museum collections, attesting to the enduring appeal of such objects. Not only is this piece decorative, but its bespoke fitting for electricity transforms it into an atmospheric table lamp—seamlessly merging historical allure with modern function.

Notable Features:

  • Finely carved alabaster, exhibiting nuanced sculptural detailing and exceptional translucency
  • Classic neoclassical profile, featuring gracefully curved handles and a pronounced footed base
  • Adapted as a table lamp, with expertly integrated wiring for ambient illumination
  • Sought after by collectors for its rare combination of original condition and practical utility

The craftsmanship displayed in this neoclassical alabaster vase is a testament to the skill of its English makers around 1900, with smooth, tactile surfaces and crisp carved details. The design’s symmetry and balanced proportions are hallmarks of neoclassical artistry, while the subtle veining of the alabaster adds interest and depth.

As an illuminated centrepiece or a distinguished vessel in its own right, this neoclassical alabaster vase brings a refined antiquity to any interior. Its genuine period origins, adaptability, and classical character make it an invaluable addition for both seasoned collectors and those seeking a statement in period table lamps or vases.
