A bespoke lamp base carved from pure white marble and inlaid in pietre dure with agates, serpentines and other semi-precious stones, combining sculptural form with fine hardstone craftsmanship for a decorative object that feels both timeless and quietly opulent.

This piece is built as a crisp architectural pedestal, with clean stepped mouldings and a faceted top, designed to sit elegantly within both classic and contemporary schemes. The inlay work is executed directly into the marble , using carefully cut hardstones to form stylised botanical motifs, each element fitted with precision so the imagery reads as part of the stone rather than applied decoration.

Agates bring depth and translucency, serpentines add rich mineral greens, and complementary semi-precious stones introduce warmth and tonal nuance. The result is refined from a distance and intricately rewarding up close, a functional object that also operates as a collectible artefact.

Made to special order, this lamp base can be customised in scale, stone selection, motif, and edging detail, and is equally suited to private residences as well as weight-sensitive, high-spec environments where De Ferranti’s specialist fabrication techniques are required.
