About the Item

“Venus favors the bold.” —Ovid Introducing the Lion’s Paw Lamp, the first release from the Venus Collection, a whimsical new family of handmade fixtures inspired by the Surrealists and the natural forms of the sea. Employing the latest advances in cool-to-the-touch LED technology, the collection features floor and table lamps made with hand-selected specimen seashells in place of traditional shades, placing the organic source material behind so much 20th century modernism front and center. Despite its passing resemblance to Audrey II, Model No. 0019 requires no care or feeding. Centered on a terra cotta-tinted cast concrete base, with an unfinished brass column, knurled brass hardware, and an olive cloth-covered cord with contrasting inline switch, its shade is constructed from a matching pair of sustainably sourced, naturally translucent Lion’s Paw scallop shells. Permanently fused open at the scallop's natural hinge, the shade is fully adjustable on the vertical axis. Perfect as a scene-stealing accent lamp—and even better at one's bedside, in a pair—its playful silhouette, sophisticated lines, rarefied materials, and inviting light will breath fresh life into any interior. Made-to-order by hand in a numbered, signed edition by Christopher Tennant. Need something a bit more bespoke? Drop us a line.
