Am I focusing on the right object? I'm looking at the 3 part piece on the left hand side...I think it's also a lamp! I'm no expert, by any stretch, but I'd guess that it is an example of Tramp Art...mostly wooden objects and lightweight furnishings made from recycled crates, boxes, popsicle sticks, etc... Could be a one of a kind real deal, or it might be a reproduction. It certainly is clever! And if I'm right about it being a lamp (see the finial, see the shape of the shade) then it is really a multi-functional piece of art! Thanks so much for posting...quite inspirational!
