What does the Lucid Flower wall lamp show?
A large flower drawn in fine black outline anchors the design, with vines scrolling out around it. Its centre is filled in orange, with small yellow touches, and red striped bands run along the rim and the base. The cream ground keeps the drawing clear and light.
Where does a 5.5 inch wall lamp fit best?
It is compact, so it suits small stretches of wall: beside a doorway, in an alcove, above a bedside table or along a narrow passage. You can also group a few together for a wall display. It works best where it is seen up close, so the fine linework can be appreciated.
What is the lamp made of?
Leather, painted by hand in Kalamkari style and perforated, worked on an iron frame. The craft uses goat hide and sheepskin coloured with natural dyes. The leather is translucent, which lets light through the painting and the pierced pattern when it is switched on.
Does it come with a bulb holder?
No, it comes without a bulb or bulb holder, so you will need to arrange your own fitting to light it. The piece itself is handcrafted by State Award-winning artist Raghavendra of Nimmalakunta, Andhra Pradesh.
Will my lamp look exactly like the one in the photo?
Very close, but not identical. Each lamp is painted by hand with natural dyes, so there may be slight irregularities in colour. Small marks from the crafting process are also part of a handmade piece and show it was made the traditional way.
