Description

Very impressive marble standard lamp, made only of onyx, with lovely colouring in a marbled pattern of white, creams, tan/rust and some pale green shades.

Easy colours – to fit with so many different colour schemes.

Re-wired with an antique brass lamp holder and flex with floor switch for easy of use. PAT tested.

Highly distinctive, unusual and incomparable thanks to the beauty of its marbling, colour carving and stature.

Unusually made only of onyx (the dominant colours are whites, creams and tans – not the predominance of green which is usually the case). And there are no ‘fiddly’ brass sections within the stem. Simple. Elegant. Stylish. It celebrates purely the beauty of the marble with a simple carved linear pattern to the stem. Please see the photos and video.

It stands very tall 160cm, with a base that is 27cm in diameter. The column is 11cm wide at the bottom and 8cm wide at the top.

Hard to date - probably 60s or 70s: and because of the lack of brass ‘Grecian’ style look – most probably not British made – but European (Spanish or Italian perhaps)?

Dimensions:
Height: 160cm
Diameter of base: 27cm
Diameter of stem at base: 11cm reducing to 8cm
Bayonet fitting.
Weight:
£950

Additional information. The lamp come in 8 sections. The round base and 7 individual onyx pieces that stack on top of each other with the lampholder on top. A threaded metal rod runs through the centre of each section, with a nut that tightens to hold everything in place.

Neither of the shades used in the pictures are included in the price and we think the modern shade is a size too small for the lamp. A very large, fresh off white coloured shade will set it off perfectly.

Condition:

Overall in very good condition. One small chip in the base (see photo) which is not visible because the stone underneath is the same colour. New wiring: new plug with new floor switch. New cable, and new lamp holder with bulb-activated safety switch. PAT tested.

Transportation. Free collection from HP16. We can work with you on delivery (and re-assembly if necessary) and are happy to liaise with the courier of your choice. The lamp can be transported as a single item, but only by a careful courier. Alternatively, it can be disassembled for despatch (with each part carefully identified) ready for you to re-assemble in the correct order on arrival. We may offer to do this ourselves for an agreed fee depending on location.

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 24th March 2025

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.

However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.

To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.

Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.

Can I cancel an order?

There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.

If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.

Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.

Can I return an order?

We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.

The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).

You can return your order if...

It isn't what you expected

If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.

You change your mind

If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.

It's damaged in transit

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.

If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.

What can't I return?

Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.

Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.

Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

I'm eligible for a return. Now what?

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.

How will I receive my refund?

Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.

All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
