Further research has established the following provenance, by repute:
These lamps were bought from Indoor, a Dutch firm, believed to have been trading in Verner Panton pieces in the 1960s and 1970s who went bankrupt around 25 years ago. They had been stored in a warehouse, in their original boxes, some of which were marked Panton. Formerly with My Modern (Netherlands) and Pierre Boogaerts (Paris) and now the current vendor.
