Vintage Clarinet Table Lamp with Marble Base

This unique decorative table lamp is constructed from an authentic mid-20th-century B-flat clarinet. The body of the instrument serves as the central column, exhibiting a dark wood grain finish (likely grenadilla wood or a high-quality composition resin) with a matte patina indicative of age. The instrument features silver-toned nickel-plated keys, rods, and rings, which show some light oxidation and surface tarnish, suggesting it was once a functional musical instrument before being repurposed. The clarinet is mounted atop a thick, circular white marble base with grey veining, providing stability and a classical aesthetic contrast. At the top, a standard light socket and harp assembly are integrated into a black mouthpiece attachment. The lamp is crowned with a rectangular, red fabric shade with a slightly flared profile. The craftsmanship reflects a custom folk-art or 'upcycled' approach to lighting design common in the late 20th century. Condition appears fair to good; the instrument's pads and corks may be degraded, which is standard for repurposed instruments, and the metalwork shows a gentle dulling that could be polished if desired. The wiring is modern, though the internal electrical components are not fully visible.
