Staved Turned Wood Lamp Base Vintage Mid Century Laminated Hardwood No Shade

Turned lamp bases like this one come from the mid-century craft-woodworking tradition, where strips of contrasting hardwood were glued up into a block and shaped on the lathe so the grain follows every curve. This urn-shaped base on a wide round foot pairs dark and reddish-toned hardwoods in alternating staves, a warm, sculptural look that suits a den, a bedroom or a bookshelf with your favorite shade. Key facts: stave-laminated mixed hardwood, lathe turned, urn/baluster profile with a wide round foot.
