The Prairie Craftsman Desk Lamp is a design originally commissioned for Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Green Bay Wisconsin in late 2007. It was designed to fit on a small alter, but also intended to fit on a desk. It stands 20 inches tall, and the shade is 12 inches deep by 18 3/4 inches wide. It is about 14 inches from the bottom of the mica shade to the desk top. The 2 solid brass electrical sockets are newly made in the Edison style. A patina has been carefully applied to all solid brass lamp parts so they will look old. The pull chains are 8 inches long, and you can choose from solid brass pulls, or real acorns. The real acorn lamp pulls are at a slightly higher cost than the brass pulls because of extra time taken to process them.

The right mission oak lighting can add drama and elegance to your rooms. Different mission oak lamps lighting effects contribute to create that atmosphere. General or ambient mica or stained glass lighting begins to set the mood; whether turned up bright or dimmed down low. The even glow from mica shaded lamps or a mission chandelier sets the tone. The mission oak light through a pleated shade is exactly this type of warm rich light. Ambient mission oak lighting often works along with task lighting; a arts and crafts lamp pulled up next to a reading chair or next to a bed provides the direct beam of light that is task light. This is the light that lets you read or work in a dimly lit room. But it is also the contrast between general mission oak light and the sharper pools of task light that lend mystery and drama to an interior. The most romantic light is accent lighting in our world that means mica lamp shades. The gleam of candles through mica hurricanes, the glow of votives in stained glass scattered through the room across the dining table or along the mantel. Tappers aloft above a dining table, bathe the china & crystal in a soft glow, nothing is more atmospheric than mission oak light. Often all three types of light are used together a dark entrance hall glows with candles and barley a glimmer from a mission chandelier the hall gives way to the brighter sparkle from silk shades and crystal from the room beyond.
