About the Item

Sculptural table lamp is decorated with three bands of gruvwood (usually walnut was used for this type of lamp) and rattan or caning; the lamp is mounted on round metal base. The wood and rattan were lightly ebonized, as to preserve the grain and the texture of the materials in otherwise minimal, monochromatic piece. The lamp is in good vintage condition with its original harp and finial. Manufactured by National Products of Louisville, the Gruvwood line of lamps was selected for the 1964 World's Fair to be featured in the House of Good Taste. The line was subsequently used by leading mid-century American and European designers of the day in their decor. The name "Gruvwood" came from the use of strips or squares of walnut hardwood that were separated by 45 degree angled gaps.
