Know before you buy
The lamp utilizes a unique, tiered wooden structure that shields the bulbs from direct view. This architectural design reflects light off the interior surfaces to create a soft, indirect glow throughout the room.
The lamp requires ten 15W incandescent bulbs, all of which are included with your purchase. Because the fixture is designed specifically for these bulbs, we recommend using the provided replacements to maintain the intended light quality.
The lamp is operated by a convenient on/off foot switch located on the power cord. This allows you to easily control the lighting without needing to reach for a switch on the fixture itself.
The choice between Cherry and Walnut is primarily aesthetic. Cherry wood typically offers a warmer, reddish-brown tone that may darken over time, while Walnut provides a deeper, richer, and more chocolate-toned finish.
Yes. Standing at 80 inches tall and weighing 28 pounds, the lamp is engineered with a wide, sturdy base to ensure stability. Its weight is well-distributed to prevent tipping in standard residential settings.
Each Taliesin 2 lamp is handcrafted specifically for your order rather than pulled from pre-existing inventory. This artisanal process ensures high-quality craftsmanship and supports the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation's preservation efforts.
