Geckos can be characterized as shrewd and cunning, which requires intelligence and wit. This gecko is sharpening his education the old-fashioned way, with its nose in a book. Nothing but fun, this piece features a long, slender body with the strong, firm lines of the framed lamp shade creating this lizard's reading material. The body features a handmade wrought iron frame that is powder coated and then wrapped in abaca rope. Each lamp comes with approximately five feet of clear cord with a plug that extends from the base of the tail. The shade features a standard UL lamp backing with fossilized cocoa and guyabano leaves that are hand-placed and then laminated. The shade is handstitched onto a powder-coated, wrought iron frame. Bulb Recommendations We highly recommend using LED bulbs with this lamp. 400 to 800 lumens per bulb in soft white light is suggested. A19 Medium BaseMax 13-Watt Type SBCFL or LEDWe do not recommend incandescent bulbs because the heat from the bulb can discolor the shade over time. Eco-Friendly We are a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council; a coalition of manufacturers, retailers, and designers dedicated to raising awareness and expanding the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices across the home furnishings industry. Our products are manufactured using materials that are sustainably harvested, safe dyes that are food-based, and water-based finishes. The leaves used in our products are either collected after a tree naturally sheds them or plucked from a living tree. In either case, the plant isn’t harmed. Additionally, the purchase of the leaves we use provides a secondary income to the farmers who grow and care for plants. Fair-Trade We view ourselves as partners with our manufacturers and continuously exchange ideas on how to improve production, product quality, and the health and well-being of the artisans that work to create the products we sell. We visit our manufacturers on a regular basis to ensure that our core mission is being followed. Our products are produced in the Philippines, a country that is fast-growing, and progressive in ensuring workers’ rights. It is also a country where many companies are run by women and their entrepreneurial efforts are encouraged. The artisans who make our pieces are paid a living wage, provided quality housing, have access to continuing education, and work under dignified and safe conditions. The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size, and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
