A compelling piece of American folk art, this sculptural lamp is composed of authentic vintage wooden shoe lasts—tools once used by cobblers to shape footwear—reimagined into a striking vertical form. Likely crafted mid-20th century (circa 1940s–1960s), it reflects the tradition of transforming utilitarian objects into expressive decorative art. The composition is anchored by a deliberately rough-hewn wood base, chosen to enhance its primitive, workshop-inspired character and emphasize its handcrafted nature. Industrial hardware contrasts beautifully with the warm, timeworn wood, creating a distinctive statement for rustic, wabi-sabi, or curated eclectic interiors.
Measures 31" tall x 15" long x 9.25" wide. Lamp only; shade not included.
