For sale is a gorgeous mid century lamp base featuring a textured mold-blown cased caramel brown glass over white glass designed by Helena Tynell for Luxus. The variation in glass thickness gives the lamp a lovely organic quality, with subtle variations in color density overall. Signed “Luxus, Made in Sweden, NR, 1161.32″. The lamp base is in very good condition with the exception of a tiny imperfection on the top row of glass knobbies. Please see the photo #4. The lamp has a European style plug and would require an adapter for US use. Toggle switch for easy on /off. The top white & black piece which houses the socket is not affixed to the lamp base, but there is evidence of glue residue. Please refer to photos. I do not know if any other pieces, decorative or otherwise, were mounted to the top of the base. There is no lampshade or harp. Base Measures 15-3/4″ h x 5-1/2″ in diameter. The base would accommodate a shade measuring 11″ h x 14″ diameter at the base and 12 diameter at the top in order to look… The referenced lamps have had some work done to them, so may not be entirely original.

Please let me know if you are looking for more than one pair of these- far harder to find than their white or black counterparts. A PAIR of Arrben leather chairs likely from the late 80s, based on the estate they were removed from. Beautiful warm caramel toffee leather with copper colored bar that’s agreed to a nice bronze. All leather and metal has been professionally conditioned and cleaned. I’ve been told that the copper/bronze plated bar is basically unheard of, and similar with brown as a whole but typically even then it’s a much darker brown. I love the model normally but this combo is 10x as good. Marked underneath by Arrben, altogether fantastic chairs… Italian leather and high quality metal. Overall very good condition for their age. Leather has been treated with collagen treatments. Each seat shows some minor imperfections- but that’s expected… 30″ x 24″ x 24. Extremely comfortable and versatile style. Feel free to contact with any questions you may have. This item is in the category “Antiques\Furniture\Other Antique Furniture”. The seller is “storypiece” and is located in this country: US.
