Trout Hand Carved Ironwood Lamp Finial - Lodge Decor

This unique decorative lamp accent screws to the top of a standard lamp harp to decorate almost any basic lamp. This is an authentic art piece crafted in the Sonoran Desert from native Olneya ironwood by Sunland Artisans, a consortium of nearby skilled artists. Found almost exclusively in the desert of Arizona, this tree is truly one of nature's wonders. North American desert ironwood gets its name from its amazing hardness and heavy weight (similar to petrified wood). Though this wood is very difficult to work, it is meticulously carved and etched to reveal incredible detail. It is then sanded and polished to bring out the rich, dark grain and unique personality of the wood. The end result is an amazingly smooth hard finish remarkably achieved with no lacquer or varnish. Due to its extreme density, it is resistant to water, scratches and stains. And it's very easy to clean with a damp cloth. Occasional treatment with paste shoe polish and light buffing will give this art piece a rich shine and bring out the intricate detail of the wood.
