Stone Lamp Bracket From Gujarat - 19th Century

This beautifully carved 19th-century stone lamp bracket from Gujarat once formed part of the architectural decoration of a traditional haveli doorway. Hand carved from sandstone, the bracket features a finely sculpted standing female figure beneath a projecting upper support, reflecting the skilled craftsmanship and ornamental detailing associated with historic domestic architecture across Western India. Originally designed to support a small oil lamp beside an entranceway, the bracket would have brought both illumination and symbolism to the home. Over time, the haveli from which it originated fell into disrepair, leaving behind this evocative architectural fragment rich in age and character. Now mounted on a custom iron stand, the piece has been transformed into a striking sculptural object, equally suited to display on a console, shelf or pedestal.
