Item Details

Fossilized alibangbang leaf lampshades…alibangbang, known as the “butterfly” leaf in the native language or illango, is shaped like a butterfly. This leaf has both medicinal and food flavoring purposes throughout the south pacific. Fossilization is the process of drying leaves over a three to four month period and then hand rubbing the chlorophyll of the leaf so only the leaf’s skeleton remains. This is a labor-intensive process and no corrosive chemicals are used. Once the chlorophyll is removed, the leaf is stained in organic dyes. Since the leaves are natural, each one will absorb dye differently. The resulting effect is a lamp with different hues and shades (sometimes within the same leaf). There are a few cases in which the leaf may have a small tear before it was adhered to the lampshade; due to the low-impact sealant we use, no tear will increase in size nor will any leaf pull from the shade. We would like to point out that only 20 percent of the leaves make it through the entire process for use for our shades. Once the leaf is stained, it is adhered to a heat resistant backing; similar to the backing found on any standard lamp. The artists cut each leaf to ensure that no leaf will overlap. Finally, we use a strong sealant to ensure the stability and integrity of the shade. Maintenance and bulbs…We recommend against placing your lamp in direct sunlight. If cleaning is required, use a dry cloth or duster. We do not suggest liquid cleaners. These lamps will not require any special maintenance. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are highly recommended. These bulbs will get nice and bright without the added heat of a standard incandescent bulb. These bulbs also last much longer, in many cases over five years. on average, a 13-watt fluorescent bulb will create the same lumens of light as a standard 60-watt light bulb and a 26-watt fluorescent light bulb will have the same light output as a 100-watt incandescent bulb. please check with the manufacturer of a specific bulb for its specs. These light bulbs are considered to be a great alternative to standard light bulbs since they promote energy efficiency. compact florescent light bulbs have allowed us to create artistic lighting that is still functional. Frame and body…The frame is constructed from wrought iron, making the lamp very strong and durable. the base is then powder coated in order to ensure the longevity of its color. the legs of the fortune lamp are made of real bamboo, which have been hand stained to create contrast to the bold shade colors. this bamboo is bound and then attached to the wrought iron frame. measures approx 7" x 7" x 16.5" (1 bulb) 60w max
