The Ava Bamboo Table Lamp



The Ava Bamboo Table Lamp is a High Street Market original, completely custom made for our store.  Inspired by a vintage piece, this table lamp is streamlined for modern living, yet greatly influenced by 1940s Hollywood Regency design.  Standing on a solid wood base, the Ava Bamboo Table Lamp has a subtle crackle glaze and it's finished in a color that we call "tusk".  The socket is made of polished brass, and it features an upgraded brass socket and switch.






It makes a marvelous bedside lamp, or use a pair of these Ava lamps to flank a dining room credenza.





Since we designed this lamp and had it manufactured, can I talk about quality for a sec?  We're really proud of the materials that went into creating this piece!  It has a solid wood base, and polished brass fittings-- two upgraded design details that most retailers won't offer.  The ceramic body is extremely well made, and we think that the soft crackle glaze adds a little more interest than a flat finish would.  The price is extremely competitive too (well under $200.00 per lamp).


The Ava Table Lamp is just one of the custom lamps in our collection!  Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek at the new merchandise.


And as a sidenote: I was floored by all of your supportive comments yesterday.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I can't even tell you what your support means to me.  As you can imagine, creating our new shop was a major undertaking.  Years in the making.  Hearing such positive feedback (before we've even launched) was truly moving.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!  If I could reach through the computer and give you a hug, I would.
