Octagonal Straw Marquetry Lamp

This Octagonal Straw Marquetry Lamp is an absolute stunner. So distinctive with its octagonal shape, slim profile and inlaid brass details. It stands out for all the right reasons. 

A wonderful combination of straw marquetry and brass put together with geometric style facets. Each facet has the straw marquetry inlaid in a different direction, so as the light bounces off the surface of the lamp you get a sense of shifting shapes.

The elegance of the slim brass details only adds to the drama of the dark straw. Topped off with a slightly tapered shade in your chosen colour completes this showstopper.

The Octagonal Straw Marquetry Lamp base is made from a wooden frame and then hand detailed with individual pieces of straw to create the marquetry effect.

Straw marquetry is the art of forming a decorative panel using flattened slithers of natural cured straw. The stem is split, flattened, softened and scraped or ironed into a flat ribbon. It is then inlaid edge to edge on the wood until the entire surface is covered. The process is entirely hand made from the preparation of the straw into ribbons, to the dyeing process, to the choosing and inlaying of each single piece of straw onto the surface of the lamp.

Lamps come fitted with matching silk flex chord and a 5 amp plug. The shade is not included with this lamp.

Each of our beautiful lamps is handmade by artisans that specialise in historic techniques and a variety of materials. Straw marquetry is available in a whole range of stunning shades.
