These elegant lamps feature a beautifully molded classical lyre-and-ribbon motif, a decorative element rooted in neoclassical design and frequently used by Empoli artisans during the mid-20th century.
The silhouette of the glass body tapers upward from a rounded base to a classical urn form, giving the lamps a refined architectural presence. The glass sits on a plinth style brass base.

Both lamps retain their original brass finials and harps. The combination of jewel-tone glass and classical ornamentation makes these pieces equally at home in traditional, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic interiors.
