Pair of Art Deco Style Streamline Chrome Vintage Table Lamps

  

PAIR OF CHROMED TABLE LAMPS IN THE ART DECO TASTE. Unmarked, circa late 20th century based on the 1925 American design Item # 402TPI08P. A stunning pair of chromed table lamps in the Streamline Moderne style that was born in the Art Deco period, they rise like futuristic skyscrapers in a taper broken by three rings at the top that graduate into three small rings at the footer over a turned cup footer raised on a stepped base.

The shades are also chromed with a near-mirror finish, a brilliant surface that almost becomes translucent and disappears with its surroundings, reflecting the objects around to fade into the background. The design was originally introduced in the United States around 1925 and was reissued by Woka Lamps of Vienna in the late 20th century in the same dimensions as the present pair under the "Hetti" line.

They retail individually for 4625 euros directly with Woka. Measurements: 23" H x 18 1/8" diameter (shade) x 7 diameter (base). Condition Report: One pair of lamps missing the sphere pull terminals - these can be fabricated upon request to perfectly match the originals; minor tarnish and scuffing; a fine presentation.

Our company has long specialized in sculpture circa 1860 through 1930 and as such the gallery always has a very large collection of exceptional European and American sculpture available on display. The gallery is located at 117 W Burd Street in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania and is open by appointment only.

We welcome your visit and would love to meet with you. All packaging is handled by our staff and will generally consist of. Wrapping the item in several inches of heavy-duty bubble wrap with careful attention shown to pressure points, crafting the placement of the bubble wrap in a manner that allows delicate parts of the item to remain out of harm's way.

The item is then placed into a tight-fitting carton with a void fill of either peanuts, Styrofoam, bubble wrap or a combination of the three to ensure it cannot move within the carton. That carton is then double-boxed by placing it into an outer carton 2-3 larger on all sides with a dense void fill in the gap [note, paintings are generally not double-boxed but instead have a different packing methodology to properly protect the frame from pressure].
