Pair of Vintage Table Lamps with Rose Motif, Unknown, 1960s – Lot 822

Description

This pair of vintage satin glass table lamps reflects a design integrates both upper illumination and a secondary light within the base, allowing the two sources to operate independently or simultaneously.

Each lamp is composed of a white satin glass body defined by a gently tapered neck and rounded urn form. A delicate gold floral motif encircles the central body, applied with measured detail that contrasts subtly against the matte translucence of the glass. The sculptural quality of the form is anchored by a cast metal base, whose aged patina provides tonal depth and visual grounding.

The integrated base illumination introduces an additional layer of ambient light, reinforcing the lamps’ dual function as both decorative objects and atmospheric lighting elements. The newly fitted shades maintain a clean cylindrical profile, preserving the vertical clarity of the composition while diffusing light evenly.

The lamps remain in excellent vintage condition, with minimal wear to the gilt decoration and light patina consistent with age on the metal bases. Measuring 19 inches from base to socket (excluding harp), the pair stands as a thoughtful example of mid-century lighting design—where ornament is disciplined, proportion is balanced, and utility is seamlessly embedded within form.
