Pair of Large, 1960’s, KALMAR Austria Gold Glass Lamps Johansfors Orrefors Sweden

There’s Orrefors, there’s Johansfors, there’s Kalmar. High end luxury, expensive in their day, tasteful, retailed in all the right places, don’t be asking the price… Now fully appreciating exactly what we are looking at, time to contemplate. Fine mid-century Scandinavian design quality, which continually matures, improving with age. Superb. For the would be designer, symmetry, easy to the eye, easy to place, a joy to live with. For the collector & lover of fine, a joy to live with, a damned good find. Could you find another pair in Manchester, humm, don’t think so. Could you find another pair in England, humm, not sure. Could you find another pair in Europe, humm, probably, but you’d maybe also need to discreetly ask the price. In very good, original condition. Just an air of maturity with mild indication of age. Mild crazing to the internal gilt, by the base of one lamp. Also a slim short vertical line of loss to an upper area of one lamp. The shades, with mild variation of colour are a touch faded. Original wiring, which also includes UK adaptor.To the body, across the light, maybe you’ll spot an occasional light scratch.
