The design and decor are by the designer heinz siery, who worked not only for carstens tönnieshof, but also for scheurich and others. These two lamps from the 1960s were acquired firsthand from an estate and are both in immaculate condition.

a pair of lamps from this period in this quality is extremely rare. Both lampshades were no longer usable and were remade from a high-quality french half-panama fabric with a blue coral motif and red decorative ribbons.

dimensions: lamp total with shade: h 88 cm, ø 30 cm (shade width), lamp base: h 49 cm, ø bottom 17 cm, shade: ø 30 cm x h 39 cm.

the lamps are open at the bottom and therefore lack the base markings typical for this type of ceramic. The brand sticker was no longer present. The affiliation was confirmed by research on vases and other lamps from the same decorative series. We always identify brands to the best of our knowledge and with great care.
