Light from darkness!

" . . . rising black, blacker and darker than the vast shades amid which it stood, the cruel pinnacles and iron crown of the topmost tower of Barad-dûr . . . ."

In The Fellowship of the Ring, when Frodo saw the Dark Tower, all hope left him. We have to admit that if we saw a looming black fortress with a huge evil eye on top, we'd probably be in need of a new pair of pants.

Designer Richard Taylor and his team built a 9-foot tall "bigature" of Barad-dûr to use for filming The Lord of the Rings movies. For this collector's edition desk lamp, artist David Tremont and his team scaled it down to just shorter than 21 inches high, the perfect height for a desk or side table lamp.

Sculpted from polystone and coated with a protective layer of polyurethane, each Eye of Sauron Desk Lamp is painted and finished by hand and features cutting-edge LED technology. Plug it into the wall and it will turn its roving eye toward anything it deems worth watching. Its gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh, so you should probably keep it away from children and hobbits.
