# Handcarved Vintage Lighting The Menlo Park Lamp by The Dapper Llama Has a Sophisticated Appeal By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-04-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menlo-park-lamp References: [coolmaterial](http://coolmaterial.com/home/menlo-park-lamps/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheDapperLlama) These Manlo Park Lamps by the Dapper Llama are a brilliant collaboration between scholarly and rustic. The collection is hand-carved out of either solid cherry, walnut or rainbow poplar. The polished sheen of the hardwood beautifully reflects the glow of the one, two or three bulbs. The vintage [Edison](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barebones-edison-light-stick) or filament bulbs adds to the nostalgic appeal of the Manlo Park Lamps while the gold, cloth-covered plug connecters give the lantern a sophisticated influence. A perfect addition to any rustic interior decor, the lamp would be well situated in a room with a hardwood floor or in a study decorated with classic and vintage accessories.
