A rare pair of mid-century Hollywood Regency sculptural table lamp bases, designed by celebrated American artist Helen Liedloff for Goldscheider U.S.A. circa the 1940s. These heavy, authentic ceramic bodies depict highly stylized Javanese or Balinese figures finished in a gorgeous hand-painted polychrome glaze.
Originally manufactured as premium decorative busts or library bookends, this pair was custom-converted into statement lamp bases during the mid-20th century—a highly popular design trend of the era. Because the internal metal pipe structure is entirely intact and structurally stabilized, this pair represents a magnificent, low-effort restoration project for mid-century modern design enthusiasts or collectors looking to finish them with custom wiring and shades.
