Large Grand Tour Volute-Krater Lamp

A superb quality table lamp, made from a stunning red-figure pottery vase of the volute krater form, after Ancient Greek Apulian examples of the Gnatian type.

Why We Like It

We admire the timeless classical form of this vessel, but above all the archaeological accuracy of its rendering. An homage to the arts of Ancient Greece, this lamp is a striking object that would complement a modern or an eclectic interior.

In Ancient Greece, a volute krater was a type of vessel used for mixing water and wine before consumption, usually during symposium activities or Dionysian rites.

The lamp will be wired for the country of destination. Please note, that the vintage shade shown on the pictures is a styling suggestion and is not included.
