3 Way Stone Lamp Niche From Jaisalmer - 19th Century
This 19th century hand carved stone lamp niche comes from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, a region famous for its distinctive golden sandstone and exceptional architectural carving. Designed with three small arched recesses, the niche would originally have been built into the wall beside a doorway where oil lamps or small candles were placed to illuminate the entrance and welcome guests.
The warm yellow sandstone, often referred to as Jaisalmer stone, is highly prized for its durability and beautiful colour, which glows softly in natural light. The front is decorated with simple geometric carving and stylised arches, reflecting the traditional architectural detailing found throughout the desert city’s historic buildings.
Reclaimed from an old structure, the niche now makes a striking decorative wall feature. When fitted with tea lights it produces a soft atmospheric glow, but it is equally attractive displayed simply as a sculptural architectural fragment.
Each piece is supplied with strong wall hangers and plates for secure mounting.
