All solid wood lamp & shade. The lamp base features a segment turned body of black cherry with maple burl and wenge accents turned in a bead shape. Eight maple burl and wenge onlays become medallions when turned. A turned waist leads to an octagonal base on 8 turned feet, all in cherry. The neck is also a segment turned section, which is then carved to undulating flattened sides. The shade is a conical form of joined solid cherry. The translucent panels are a stabilized birds eye maple veneer. Applying a penetrating epoxy and fiberglass cloth give the veneer exceptional strength, durability and stability. The effect is a rich translucent glow. (The use of modern LED bulbs assures that heat will not be a factor in the longevity of the shade.) The lamp is fitted with a either a 2 bulb cluster that can hold up to 100 watt LED bulbs, or a 3 way socket that holds a 3-way LED bulb with the light equivalence of 150 watts for reading or tasks, or as little as 50 watts for accent lighting. The bulbs are included. The lamp is finished in a durable catalyzed lacquer for easy care and long lasting beauty.
