Shell Wall Sconces
Made from dried hickory bark, smoked flat read, Kinwashi and/or layered industrial tissue paper, the shell sconces vary in size and shape. The outside edges are hickory bark that’s been dried, soaked, clamped in a closed shape then dried again under pressure to keep it flat. Hickory bark traditionally was used for woven chair seats and is said to last for 80 years. These lamps vary in size. For more of Bob Bagley's creations check out: www.bagendstudio.com.
