Vintage 1940s Pastoral Figural Table Lamp with Capiz Shell Shade – Gilded Gold Chalkware Sculpture Old World Accent Lighting

A sculptural 1940s figural table lamp in the romantic pastoral tradition, depicting a classical European gentleman resting beneath a tree. Cast in substantial chalkware and finished in a warm gilt tone, the base reads as a small decorative sculpture, with finely modeled bark, florals, and soft drapery throughout. It carries the quiet charm of antique garden statuary, translated into functional lighting.

The capiz shell shade diffuses the light into a soft, pearly glow that feels warm and intimate rather than bright, making it ideal for layered ambient lighting. Beautiful beside a favorite chair in a cozy reading nook, on a bedside table, atop a hallway console to softly illuminate the evening hours, or styled on a chest or secretary desk as a sculptural accent.

Dating to the 1940s, when chalkware figural lamps were crafted as both art objects and lighting, it shows light, age-appropriate wear consistent with vintage pieces. Wiring is untested; rewiring is recommended before regular use. Carefully packed and shipped fully insured for safe arrival.
