Pair of Large Midcentury Polished Bronze Lamps

Pair of Large Midcentury Polished Bronze LampsA smart pair of large, polished bronze table lamps, of superb, solid quality. Mid 20th century. Why we like them Impressive, timeless design that looks very modern, at the same time evoking ancient oriental bronzes. Understated yet superbly decorative, equally suitable for contemporary and eclectic interiors. An identical pair was placed by David Hicks in a bedroom at Easton Grey House, Wiltshire, England, decorated for Peter and Didi Saunders in

exquisitely carved scallop shell ornament to the top that is alluding to Venus

with scrolled acanthus leaves instead of feathers

The set includes eight tea cups with saucers
