Lamps from the collection

Each shade is cut from a single reproduction chart, so no two lamps show the same patch of sky.

Laminated, then stitched

Perry matched the Caribbean chart to the photo I sent. It sits on my desk and everyone asks about it.

The map shade glows like old parchment at night. Packed beautifully, arrived in four days, and the walnut base is heavier than I expected in the best way.

Warm light and a beautiful map. The cord was a little short for our high ceiling, but Perry sent a longer one at no charge.
