Elegant Lamp Base with Blue Arabesque Pattern

An elegant lamp base, 22.5 cm high, featuring an intricate arabesque design set against a deep blue background. The detailed ornamentation creates a sense of depth and an almost three-dimensional texture. The lamp stands on a hand-turned Swedish birch base, stained three times and then lacquered to enhance the wood’s natural sheen and depth.

What is an Arabesque?
An arabesque is a decorative pattern composed of interlacing, flowing forms — often inspired by flowers, leaves, tendrils, or geometric shapes. The style originated in Arabic art, where figurative motifs were traditionally avoided in favour of intricate, rhythmic ornamentation. Today, the term is used more broadly to describe decorative scrollwork and ornamental designs found on furniture, lamps, ceramics, and even metaphorically in music and literature, where it evokes elegance, movement, and refinement.
