A pretty fine striped lamp made from lime timber with a cotton reel motif, it is painted in very fine and colourful multi-coloured stripes right down onto a simple base where there are broader bands of colour.  There is a lovely light and restrained and pretty vibe to this lamp and it has so many bright colours, but I am delighted with the lighter touch to the painting that has been achieved here.  It has a pale grey bobbin  with small black “lowlights”and is wound with pale ballet pink thread, there is a section of natural wood  above this and then a section at the very top which is painted in washy grey with very fine dark grey lines.  This lamp will always hold interest as there are so many interesting juxtapositions of colours. This lamp is photographed with a 20cm plain linen, you could also consider a 23cm shade, either in linen or one of my unique silk screen printed shades.
