This gorgeous faux bois lamp base is inspired by the antique art of woodturning, in which craftsmen would utilize a wood lathe and hand-held tools to cut a symmetrical shape around the axis of rotation -- similar to how potters use a wheel. This shapely style shows off some of their finest work in balusters, the decorative columns at the end of Victorian staircases. Taking a mold from this shape and reproducing it in resin gives us this gorgeous base, hand-finished to look like wood and topped with our signature linen drum shade.
