About the Item

Mid-Century Modern Lacquered Coconut Shell Inlay Gourd-Form Table Lamp on Rattan Base, Mid-20th Century A beautifully handcrafted gourd-form table lamp featuring an intricate surface of lacquered coconut shell inlay, arranged in a rhythmic vertical pattern that mimics the organic flow of vines or bark. The naturally variegated shell fragments—set against a warm, crackled lacquer ground—create a mesmerizing texture with a subtle iridescence, capturing and reflecting light with rich tonal depth. The shell is meticulously laid out in repeating vertical striations, with dark brown veining over a golden-tan field. The entire surface is sealed in a clear lacquer, preserving the natural character of the shell while adding a lustrous finish. The body rests on a circular, woven rattan base, providing an earthy counterpoint to the refined lacquer work and enhancing the lamp’s tactile, tropical-modern aesthetic. This lamp effortlessly bridges organic materials and sculptural form, making it a standout accent for interiors ranging from bohemian and coastal to modernist and eclectic. Dimensions: Height to top of finial: 32" Height to top of socket: 20" Height to top of vase: 16" Diameter of body: 13" Diameter of rattan base: 7.5" Fitted with vintage brass hardware, a harp, and a dark bronze-finished finial. Wiring in working condition; rewiring available upon request. Shade not included. A striking and uncommon decorative lighting piece—timeless in material and modern in form.
