I make the lamps of New England Red Oak, because it bends so well and takes a dark- or medium-brown or clear finish without losing its character. I carry a variety of shades and can wire the lamps with white, ivory or brown cord. The lamps are designed for 100 Watt bulbs, but for tasks or reading I find the "spot" incandescents focus twice the light. Glass shades have small, hi-lo cord-dimmers color-matched to the cord, soft shades may have Hi-Lo sockets. All have swivels to aim the light. The lamps are guaranteed for my lifetime.

Wall Lamps are named by the distance from wall to bulb. Above, clockwise from top, prices not including a $5-$30 shade: 34" articulated - $155, 27" Swinging - $110, (similar 36" Swinging - $120) 18" swinging - $95, 15" arc - $70, (similar 8" arc - $70)

Note: I am doing more mail-order these days but the S&H charge varies from $15 to $40. Only at the shows can I demonstrate the variety of lamps, shades and bulbs to insure that you have the most useful and aesthetically appropriate lamp for your home. There's no shopping cart here. Every lamp is wired to order so you must email me or talk to me to start the conversation.
