Elegant pair of 1970s tessellated tortoiseshell lamps on chrome pedestal bases and beautiful pyramid lined lampshades with finials. The lamps have an exotic Art Deco feel, starting from the pedestal chrome base and finishing on the pyramid style chrome fittings with the harp and the cube finial. The tessellated tortoiseshell has an organic, coloured feel, and is lacquered. The beige silk cotton shades are finished very nicely inside with a pale yellow-stripped lining. They would look amazing in many spaces as they’re so timeless. The lamps aren’t wired at the moment, but they will be wired prior to delivery to either UK or EU fittings.
