This sale is for a large vintage/folk art handcrafted popsicle stick lamp with shade. It is a great example of folk art created useful objects from popsicle sticks. This was a hobby/craft craze after the war (WWII). This lamp and shade use overlapping popsicle sticks to create a star shaped lamp that morphs into a six sided base. The shade is a geometric dome of 14 sides. The lamp portion is 16″ tall or 24″ tall to top of the harp. The base of the lamp is 11″ x 11″. The lamp shade is approximately 17″ in diameter and 8″ tall. It is made of stained and glued popsicle sticks and sits on a flat piece of wood with four feet. The wood base is likely pine. The base and popsicle sticks are stained. The lampshade is a round faceted shade with 14 facets made by the popsicle sticks. The lamp base has a star shape on the top portion which changes to a six sided base on the bottom half. This is vintage so it has some spotting and there are a few popsicle sticks missing/broken. Most of the broken/missing popsicle sticks are at the top of the shade and the top of the lamp so they aren’t readily n oticeable. There is one broken in the shade (see photo). I can include a few newer blank popsicle sticks that you can stain and glue to the lamp. Also, the lamp sits on the base but is not glued so it is easily moved and should be secured. See photos for condition. The wiring in the lamp works but I strongly recommend rewiring this lamp because the socket is loose and old. It currently has the turn knob control type light socket.
