What is painted on the Lively Flower lamp?
Two large flower medallions with spiral vines curling around them, drawn in cream on a black ground and framed by ringed and striped bands at the top and base. The curling vines give the motifs a sense of movement, and the dark ground makes the cream linework stand out.
Does it come with a bulb?
It comes with a standard wire and a bulb holder, but the bulb is not included. A warm white LED is the recommended choice, so you only need to add the bulb before switching it on.
Where can I use a 9-inch lamp?
It is compact, so it fits tight spots: tucked between books on a shelf, on a work desk without crowding it, or on a small bedside table where space is limited. It stands 9 inches tall and is square in shape.
How is this lamp made?
It is Tholu Bommalata leather art by State Awardee Raghavendra of Nimmalakunta. Ethically sourced goat leather is treated to become translucent, and the floral design is hand-painted with traditional bamboo pens and natural dyes before it goes onto a metal frame.
What does it look like when lit?
Light passes through the translucent leather, so the hand-painted medallions and vines glow much like stained glass, with the brushwork showing through. Switched off, it reads as a painted leather piece on your shelf or desk.
Will mine be exactly like the pictures?
Expect small differences. Every lamp is painted by hand with bamboo pens and natural dyes, so the lines and shades vary a little from one piece to the next. That variation is part of owning handmade work.
