Prairie Craftsman Mission Oak Floor Lamp
Fall Sale
This Prairie Style Floor Lamp is made of hand selected solid quarter sawn white oak. The shade panels use genuine mica or slag glass all made in the USA. The joinery of this lamp is tight and complex, yet simple and sturdy. As a Lighting Designer of many years, I have to tell you folks that these lamps are a pleasure to make, and took a long time to perfect.
The arts and crafts mica amber shade over rich caramel colored oak base gives a warm glow to any room. The lamp was first designed by Phil Myer of Ragsdale, in the arts & crafts style in 2006.
The 4 solid brass electrical sockets are newly made in the Edison style. Each bulb is rated at 75W max for incandescent. A patina has been carefully applied to all solid brass lamp parts so they will look old. The pull chains are 8 inches long, and you can choose from solid brass pulls, or real acorns. The real acorn lamp pulls are at a slightly higher cost than the brass pulls because of extra time taken to process them. By themselves, or by the pair they make a statement that compliments any mission style setting. The lamp stands 60" high, and measures 21.5" x 21.5" , and has nice proportion.

Mission Oak and Mica Lamps
The right mission oak lighting can add drama and elegance to your rooms. Different mission oak lamps lighting effects contribute to create atmosphere. General or ambient mica or stained-glass lighting begins to se the mood; whether turned up bright or dimmed down low. The even glow of mica shaded lamps or a mission chandelier sets the tone. The mission oak light through a pleated shade is exactly the tone of this rich warm light. Ambient mission oak lighting often works along with task lighting; an arts and crafts lamp pulled up next to a reading chair or next to a bed provides the direct beam of light that is the task light. This is the light that lets you read or work in a dimly lit room. But it is also the contrast between general mission oak light and the sharper pools of task light that provide mystery and drama to the interior. The most romantic lighting is accent lighting in our world that means mica lamp shades. The gleam of candles through mica hurricanes, the glow of votives in stained glass scattered through the room across the dining room table or along the mantel. Tappers aloft above a dining table, bathe the china and crystal in a soft glow, nothing is more atmospheric than mission oak light. Often all three types of light are used together as a dark entrance hall glow with candles and barely a glimmer of a mission oak chandelier in the hall gives way to the brighter sparkle from silk shades and crystal from the room beyond.
