Windowpane Shoji Floor Lamp (China)
Brighten your home with this oriental style of our Windowpane Shoji Lamp.
Made in Southern China, this lamp is constructed of spruce and rice paper. The piece stands 72 inches tall x 12 inches wide and comes in your choice of black, rosewood, honey, or natural wooden frames. Rice paper is made by cutting the pith of a large herb (Fatsia papyrifera, related to the ginseng) into one roll or sheet, which is flattened out under pressure; then outlines of lamps are made with spruce wood and the rice paper is glued to the wood. China is one of the largest manufacturers of rice paper goods. This lamp requires a 60-watt light bulb (not included)

Customer Reviews
This a beautiful lamp, very easy to assemble, and gives off a nice glow. We put the lamps in our acupuncture clinic, and have received many compliments on them. They were packaged securely and there are no flaws on them. I would buy more but the honey color is gone!

I love this lamp. It is very easy to put together and gives off a very nice light. It not like other floor lamps you see and is sturdy and expensive looking. It looks great with my baby grand piano and antique furniture. It would fit in many types of decor.

The lamp makes a great addition to the massage room, where I need "mood" lighting. I chose the dark brown color because I thought it would look more expensive, and I'm sure that was the right decision. I might get another for the living room.

Bought this tall one and the smaller matching lamp-- put them together in a corner of our zen/modern asian bedroom and VA-VA-VA-VOOM!!!! Instant ambiance and very impressive. Ours has two 60 watt bulbs inside and provides soft, glowing light that illuminates easily by pressing on the foot pedal. So great that you don't have to bend down or reach behind to switch it on/off. This is a great way to lighten up a dark corner or make a style statement
