MONUMENTAL BAMBOO & WALNUT POLYNESIAN STYLE TABLE LAMP In the Manner of McGuire & Gabriella Crespi Circa 1950 At the very beginning of the Post-War Polynesian or South Pacific craze which took over America during the forties and fifties, there were precious few importers of fine bamboo furnishings. John & Elinore McGuire set up shop in California to do just that and their works are legendary for quality and durabiity.
