Description

Hortense’s story

This white opaline glass tulip was discovered at an antique dealer in the Campo de Ourique district of Lisbon — one of those quiet neighbourhoods where beautiful pieces still hide in the back of shops. Its frilled and wavy edges, of an almost otherworldly lightness, bear witness to a rare glassmaking craft where each piece left the mould with its own personality.

Back in our Lisbon workshop, we mounted it onto a cylindrical marble base and connected it with a gold brass ring. And so Hortense was born — the most floral and organic vintage table lamp in our collection, ready to bring softness and femininity to your interior.

Good to know: our glass shades are either sourced or faithfully re-edited. For sourced pieces, slight imperfections or marks may sometimes be visible — small chips or minor irregularities. These are part of the history and authenticity of each piece, and are of course mentioned in the description.

 

Personalise your tulip table lamp

Hortense comes with a marble base of your choice from three options, at no extra cost: plain white marble, white with beige veins or white with grey veins. Each base is unique — the marble veining varies slightly from piece to piece. Select your marble directly on the product page before adding to cart.

You also choose your mount type: standard gold brass ring, or adjustable tilt mount to set the tulip at the angle you prefer — at the same price. Select your option directly on the product page.
