Note: Joseph Tracy set up shop after moving to Mt. Desert Island, Maine in 1976. He has been building furniture ever since. Taking advantage of local materials, he often incorporates popple stones (beach-washed granite) into his work, building light, expressively joined wooden frames to showcase the natural stone.
Condition
both lamps structurally sound overall, one lamp with loose through tenons that secure lamp shade, this same lamp with some frame abrasions, two detached leather shade cords, and somewhat loose silk on shade, other scattered imperfections from previous use
