Vintage Monogrammed Western-Inspired Wooden Yoke Lamp
Electrified lamp constructed from a branded wooden ox yoke fragment with exposed Edison bulb.
This lamp takes its form from an original yoke section once used in agricultural settings, the bent hardwood showing burn marks and branded insignia from its working life. The conversion into a functional lamp appears to have been carried out in the mid-20th century, with a brass socket mounted to the yoke's top and wired for domestic use. Structurally solid, the lamp reads as both a piece of American folk art and a practical reimagining of farm equipment into home décor.
The yoke bears hand-branded symbols and letters, possibly owner's initials or ranch marks, and retains its natural surface wear from decades of use. Hardware pins and rivets remain intact, with one side showing a small gouge.
