A few weeks ago my mom gave me these oil lamps we had when I was growing up, and they are the perfect addition to the patio. I posted a pic in stories over the weekend and a follower asked about them. That prompted me to look up more info about them and I wasn’t disappointed. After a google search to figure out what they were called I found out that the design has been included in the prestigious Whitney Museum of American Art exhibition "High Styles: Twentieth Century American Design," a review of outstanding examples of furniture, industrial design, and decorative objects. The lamps have been handblown in Sonoma Valley of California by the Wolfard Glassblowing Company since the early 1970s. Classic and modern, charming and sleek, they are lovely addition to any indoor or outdoor space. They are available for sale on the company’s website, and you can find vintage ones on eBay. #wolfardglass #oillamp #handblown #collectbeauty . . . . . #sheffieldinteriors #housetour #chinoiserie #chinoiseriechic #apartmenttherapy #currentdesignsituation #traditionalhome #oldhouse #interiordesign #interiordecor #interiorinspo #homedesign #styleinspo #bowroofcape #colorismyjam #mytradhome #moreismore #myhousebeautiful #cozyhome #foundandchairished #collectedhome #thenewtraditional #southshoredesigner #myneotradhome #homewithrue #sodomino
