Vintage Heywood-Wakefield Wicker Mushroom Lamp | Art Deco Table Lamp
An exceptional and increasingly rare Heywood-Wakefield Art Deco wicker mushroom table lamp, dating to the early 1920s. This sculptural piece exemplifies the organic modernism of the Art Deco period, combining architectural form with hand-woven craftsmanship.
The lamp features a classic mushroom silhouette with a conical woven base and a wide, gently scalloped shade. Its softly aged green-tan patina enhances the natural texture of the wicker and reflects nearly a century of careful aging. The proportions are elegant and balanced, making it a striking focal point even when unlit.
Notably, this lamp retains important original elements, including the silk underlay beneath the wicker shade and the original black fringe, which remains present but unattached. Survival of these components significantly elevates collector and decorator value.
This piece is offered as-is, with original wiring intact but requiring replacement prior to use—an expected consideration for lighting of this age and caliber.
A rare opportunity to acquire a museum-worthy example of early 20th-century American wicker lighting by one of the most respected names in furniture design.
