Old 3 Way Stone Lamp Niche From Jaisalmer - 19th Century

This finely carved sandstone lamp niche comes from Jaisalmer, a historic desert city renowned for its golden-yellow stone architecture. Dating to the 19th century, this example features three arched recesses framed by a decorative floral and geometric border. These niches were traditionally built into the walls of havelis and temples, positioned beside doorways to hold small oil lamps or candles that illuminated entrances at night.

Carved from the region’s warm-hued stone, it retains traces of its original lime plaster and pigment, adding to its historic charm. Now mounted on a custom iron stand, this piece makes a sculptural and atmospheric addition to any space.
