A true relic of Southern India’s regal past, this rare Deccan brass oil lamp is a masterpiece of heritage and craftsmanship. Hand-forged over 70 years ago in the culturally rich Deccan region, it reflects the refined metalworking traditions once celebrated by dynasties of the plateau.
The lamp’s graceful silhouette emerges from a perfectly balanced tiered base and slender stem—each contour thoughtfully sculpted to create a seamless visual harmony. Rising upward, the eye is drawn to its crowning glory: a striking lotus-star top featuring six deep petal troughs, designed to hold oil and wicks in traditional rituals. This distinctive star-shaped form is both symbolic and sculptural, setting the lamp apart as a rare and museum-worthy piece.
Whether placed in a sacred nook or displayed as a collector’s centerpiece, this lamp transcends function—offering a connection to history, devotion, and enduring beauty.
Please note that vintage pieces come with small imperfections, that’s a part of its beauty and age.
