The Albany table lamp features a hand-crafted construction of hundreds of individually shaped ox bone pieces, each uniquely positioned to form a cohesive decorative surface. The use of ox bone as a material provides a naturally varied, organic texture with subtle tonal variation across the shade. This ethical and sustainable material is comparable in sourcing to leather, making it a considered choice for those mindful of material origins.
The skill that is required to make this beautiful light is quite staggering. Hundreds of tiny, shaped and unique pieces of ox bone, all perfectly positioned - a bit like the man who constructed Salisbury Cathedral from matchsticks...a bit. Using bone to decorate lamps is entirely ethical and sustainable...on a par, perhaps, with leather.
