Vintage Folk Art Tramp Art Popsicle Stick Table Lamp with Matched Shade Mcm

About the Item

This captivating midcentury Folk Art table lamp is a remarkable representation of the post-war American hobby and craft movement. Handcrafted entirely from meticulously arranged popsicle sticks, the lamp showcases an intricate geometric design that demonstrates both artistry and skill. The lamp's sculptural form features bold, symmetrical patterns, with the base and shade intricately layered to create a striking visual impact. The base is composed of alternating sections that build into a unique, almost totemic structure, adding depth and dimension to its overall appearance. The shade, echoing the base's intricate pattern, is further adorned with delicate flower details, enhancing its whimsical and artistic charm. The lamp is in amazing condition, with every popsicle stick perfectly intact—none are missing or broken. The rich wood tone, along with the precise craftsmanship, makes this lamp not only a functional lighting piece but also a statement decor element that fits beautifully within rustic, vintage, or eclectic interiors. A similar tramp art lamp was featured in Architectural Digest, gracing the home of actress Kirsten Dunst (last picture), underscoring the unique appeal and timelessness of such pieces. Whether illuminated or unlit, this lamp serves as a captivating focal point, reflecting the ingenuity and creativity of the era. We also have another similar lamp available in our listings—be sure to check it out!
