Each tall, slender body is built from broad ceramic straps woven in an over-and-under basketweave, leaving square openings that let light and shadow pass through the form. The straps carry a fine incised, herringbone-like texture that mimics braided rope or cane, a playful trompe-l’oeil detail that adds tactile depth. The glossy white glaze is creamy and even, with soft pooling in the recesses and a subtle sheen along the raised edges. A rolled, rope-like rim finishes the top, where a chrome stem rises to a silver-toned socket with a turn knob and harp holder. At the foot, each cylinder rests on a thick, round disc of clear Lucite that appears to float the lamp above the surface and adds a crisp, modern lift. The pairing of handcrafted openwork, mirror-bright metal, and transparent acrylic gives these lamps a polished, architectural presence. The pair is closely matched, with a clean, bright finish throughout.

Tall and graphic, these lamps suit a bedside table, console, buffet, or sideboard, and they pair well with a narrow shade in a bedroom or living room. They complement Hollywood Regency, Coastal, Palm Beach Chic, Mid-Century Modern, and Modern Organic interiors. Each lamp measures 5.75 inches wide, 5.75 inches deep, and 22 inches high, to the top of the socket and without a shade. Condition is very good: the ceramic finish is well preserved with a consistent patina, and the chrome shows minor surface wear typical of age. For care, dust with a soft brush, wipe the glaze with a barely damp cloth, and polish the chrome with a soft dry cloth. Rewiring or electrical testing is recommended before use, and shades are not included. Inquire today to secure this striking pair. See less
