ITEM : For your consideration we are presenting for sale a rare pair of abstract figural table lamps. Circa’50s /’60s. The figures are a ceramic pottery material, and they are a brownish color with green highlights. They each rest atop a biomorphic wooden base that is painted black (see photos). While we aren’t 100% certain on the artist, the figures remind us of Jitka Forejtova, and the wooden bases remind us of Heifetz. Each lamp has a standard on/off rotary knob switch that is located at the socket. No shades present – it’ll be left up to the purchaser to provide their own. They’re stellar lamps that’ll look great in any interior setting! The female lamp on the left in the photos is approx. 24.75 tall (measured from the bottom of the base to the top of the final). 17.75 to the socket from the bottom of the base. The figure itself is approx. 12″ tall x 7.5″ wide, and her wooden base is approx. 9.5″ wide x 5.75″ deep. The male lamp on the right in the photos is approx. 24.75 tall, and the distance from the bottom of the base to the light socket is approx. 12.75″ tall x 8″ wide. His base measures approx. 8.75″ wide x 5.5″ deep. CONDITION : Given their age and rarity, we say they’re in overall very good condition. The female lamp has a few imperfections which we’ll mention now. First off, it appears she had a careful repair done to her outstretched hand by a previous owner (see photos). It isn’t readily noticeable unless you are looking for it, but it is there, and is being mentioned for accuracy. The top side of the wooden base that she rests on has some minor paint loss (see photos). The other figure doesn’t appear to have any issues, nor does its wooden base – no chips, cracks, breaks, repairs, etc. The electrical wiring looks original with no issues to report – no frays, splits, exposed or brittle areas. The lamp is in fully functioning, working order. As with all vintage lighting, we always suggest having a licensed professional inspect the wiring prior to long-term use, just to be safe. Please ask them and we will respond back to you in a timely manner.
