Curved Table Lamp Sculpture, Handcrafted in Ebonized White Oak with Walnut Base
Located in Southampton, MA
A table lamp that is also a sculpture will draw attention to a corner in your living room. It will bring new life to your dining room while setting a cozy mood. The light ash wood has interesting, bold grain. The base is a beautiful piece of dark walnut, that contrasts with the curvilinear form of the lamp.
Our Bent Table Lamp is the eye-catching piece missing from your living room. An accent light with a unique flair. Bold in ash, ebonized white oak or walnut. The curvilinear form is bent lamination, made of five thin layers of wood glued together. A striking and strong piece with a light, wonderful feel.
The twisted cloth cord is a statement on its own weaving through the curved form. The cord is a two strand twisted high quality cloth cord in a gunmetal gray.
The lamp is accented with brass components.
All woods are finished with a wiping varnish that deepens the wood and protects it.
The shade is offered in a choice of Japanese kozo mulberry papers. Cream colored with natural mulberry bark chips and fibers or strands of beautiful silky fiber on an off-white paper.

Storyteller:
Claire, an antiquarian, loved opaline glass. One day she saw the Milky Opaline Murano glass box. Because of its gorgeous and bright floral motifs, she knew it would be the centerpiece of her collection.
The gift gave her a strange sense of humor. It was as if the box could communicate, telling her about its past owners. Claire took the box to investigate its mystery.
Claire studied the box for days. She noticed details and felt a growing affection for the craftsman who crafted it centuries ago. She recognized the box was a genuine historical treasure when she found it at The bottom, tiny text says, "Hand-decorated: decorate a mano "cemedex" murano eb87."
After discovering how Opaline glass's stunning floral patterns were made, Claire appreciated its uncommon beauty. Claire discovered that the antique box was more than simply a gorgeous piece; it symbolized the necessity of preserving one's history. She valued family treasures and their stories. She asked her parents and grandparents about their lives and learned about her family's traditions and customs.

Antique, New and Vintage Decorative Objects
Every time you move into a house or an apartment — or endeavor to refresh the home you’ve lived in for years — life for that space begins anew. The right home accent, be it the simple placement of a decorative bowl on a shelf or a ceramic vase for fresh flowers, can transform an area from drab to spectacular. But with so many materials and items to choose from, it’s easy to get lost in the process. The key to styling with decorative objects is to work toward making a happy home that best reflects your personal style.
Ceramics are a versatile addition to any home. If you’ve amassed an assortment of functional pottery over the years, think of your mugs and salad bowls as decorative objects, ideal for displaying in a glass cabinet. Vintage ceramic serveware can pop along white open shelving in your dining area, while large stoneware pitchers paired with woven baskets or quilts in an open cupboard can introduce a rustic farmhouse-style element to your den.
Translucent decorative boxes or bowls made of an acrylic plastic called Lucite — a game changer in furniture that’s easy to clean and lasts long — are modern accents that are neutral enough to dress up a coffee table or desktop without cluttering it. If you’re showcasing pieces from the past, a vintage jewelry box for displaying your treasures can spark conversation. Where is the jewelry box from? Is there a story behind it?
Abstract sculptures or an antique vessel for your home library can draw attention to your book collection and add narrative charm to the most appropriate of corners. There’s more than one way to style your bookcases, and decorative objects add a provocative dynamic. “I love magnifying glasses,” says Alex Assouline, global vice president of luxury publisher Assouline, of adding one’s cherished objects to a home library. “They are both useful and decorative. Objects really elevate libraries and can also make them more personal.”
To help with personalizing your space and truly making it your own, find an extraordinary collection of decorative objects on 1stDibs.
