Exquisite Hand-Turned Mesquite Lamp by a Nationally Recognized Wood Turning Artist. This artist has exhibited work in numerous exhibitions, museums, and art galleries throughout the United States. When you think of the Southwest United States, you are immediately drawn to the mysterious Mesquite tree. The mesquite is a very hard and durable reddish brown wood known for its unique beauty. Mesquite is one of the most remarkable woods of any in North America. Its beauty and working properties rival those of other fine domestic hardwoods as well as the rainforest hardwoods. Mesquite has more than one color and its swirling grain, colors and occasional character defects and offers hidden treasures to its owner. All the mesquite lamps were turned from Eco Friendly trees. That is, all the wood was salvaged and harvested from dead and storm damaged mesquite trees. Why fill our precious landfills with a wood that can be turned into a work of art that your family will treasure for generations to come. The lamp measures 14" tall (top of socket), 7" in diameter and weighs a hefty 7 pounds. An all brass cap adds a distinguished and finished look to the lamp. A solid brass socket and a three way switch lends a credible look and performance to the lamp. In addition, an twelve foot cord makes it easier to reach a plug. The uniqueness and breath-taking beauty of Mesquite enables it to blend in with any Southwestern or Western décor. In addition, it will be a perfect accent for any style décor and will be the focal piece that will draw in visitors at your home
