About the Item

A Finnish table lamp from the 1940s with a handmade sculptural burl wood base and later wicker shade. The turned and carved form of the base highlights the organic character of the burl wood, with its irregular grain and warm, natural tone. The wicker shade, though added later, complements the raw materiality of the base, creating a balanced expression between crafted form and natural texture. In Finland during the 1940s, small-scale woodcraft traditions often intersected with modern functional needs, producing unique lighting and furniture pieces. Burl wood, with its expressive surfaces, was especially valued for its rarity and character, making each object inherently one-of-a-kind. This lamp embodies that heritage of Nordic craft, where natural materials were elevated into timeless household objects. A compact and atmospheric piece, this lamp works well on a side table, nightstand, or as a sculptural accent in both modern and eclectic interiors. Its mix of folk art character and functionality makes it an object of enduring appeal. • Height with shade 33 cm (13 in) • Shade diameter 34 cm (13.4 in) • Lamp base height 17 cm (6.7 in) • Handmade burl wood base, later wicker shade • Period: 1940s • Made in Finland • Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age
