The Natural Beauty of Rustic Wood.
Wooden table lamps have a timeless appeal, wooden lamp bases have been made since the dawn of electric lighting. Wood can not only be beautiful to look at and admire but can also provide a tactile surface and can bring a touch of nature to your home or living space. A rustic wooden table lamp is a great choice for those people who want that natural element in a lighting scheme, generally a rustic lamp will not have a fine finish, there will be no attempt made to cover up natural features of the wood such as knots, fissures and graining, rustic lamps will often be unique items due to the natural and unregulated material that is wood, you may buy two lamps from the same shop or supplier and find that the lamps have very different grain patterns and touches of colour due to the natural make up of wood. Many manufacturers of rustic wooden table lamps will apply final finishes that highlight the features and colours found in the material they use. Some rustic lamps will have an applied finish over the wooden base, these finishes are often distressed and roughly applied to allow the natural wooden material to peek through. Rustic wooden lamps are highly versatile and with a little thought can fit into a wide range of interior ideas from ethnic, nautical, shabby chic and even in modern contemporary settings.
