Alabaster Table Lamps

Andrew Macdonald makes each alabaster lamp by hand in his studio in Lafayette, Colorado, a small town near the base of the Rocky Mountains. Here he hollows and polishes the alabaster to a wall thickness of about ¼ of an inch, and turns wood and copper on a lathe to form a base and accents. He then illuminates the lamp base from within, revealing the stone's natural beauty.

The wood and stone are individually crafted and polished with multiple coats of hand-rubbed varnish. No staining or coloring of the stone is ever done. While pairs can be ordered, with every care taken to use stones quarried from the same area (for similar veining and color), as a handmade item of natural materials no two will ever be exactly the same. Each piece is signed and hand-numbered.
