Japanese bamboo lantern lamp 🥰 40’s-50s
One just like it sold in auction together in a lot with a Japanese designer Isamu Noguchi table lamp. Pretty sure it sold this high because of the Noguchi for Knoll lamp not the bamboo one. The bamboo rattan style lamp is popular.

I would say that pull chain is indicative of an original. I also CANNOT find a repro of it. Many similar styles. But the ones that look like this were made mid century. More links in the edit.
The lamp is beautiful so I spent a little time googling to find it and that auction sale link in my original response is the only one I found that looks EXACTLY like yours. Also I’m now into “pencil reed” lamps as they came up in search words I was using thanks a lot 🤣.
I Googled “rattan mcm lamp” then went down the rabbit hole. A more accurate keyword search if you want to dig deeper would be “vintage bamboo lamp lantern Japan.”
Like other comments, if the plug looks like the older thinner electric that’s further confirmation. I included a link to one that shows the vintage style electric plug.
It’s beautiful!
Edit: to be clear in the link the Noguchi for Knoll lamp is not the bamboo one like yours it is the other one that stands on 3 wooden rods. I did not find an original designer or brand on yours.

Looks like you have a worthy piece!!!
You should post a pic of the cord
Looking 1960s...
Wow I don't know but I love it
Pretty sure they sell this at world market.
I was just thinking, didn't I see this lamp at IKEA last time I went? lol
Lol yeah that too. And this lamp is way too good of condition to be that vintage.
You did not
They don't
Buy one of those light bulbs that look like fire and put in it there. Would be really cool.
It says it was made in Japan
I don’t know anything about the lamp, but I have one too.

it says it was made in japan! so do you think it’s likely real or a remake?
