Handmade Pair of Stylized Stringed-Instrument Lamps






These two lamps are truly pieces of folk art. Someone took the time to make them by hand and they are totally unique. Abstract string instrument-shaped wood and black plastic with actual wire for the strings. Awesome industrial toggle switches on the backs with little metal pieces to wrap the wire, if need be. We've never seen anything like them before. Approx 12" tall.

Update

We are going to be selling at the Rose Bowl Swap Meet again in February. And we are beginning to update this woefully out of date blog with some of the art and objects that will be there. If you want something, you can buy it ahead of time, or just get a preview. For those who aren't local, we ship! Look at us, we are actually going to try to make a business of this little hobby.
