JEAN-MICHEL FRANK | Pair of table lamps

patinated iron

Private collection, Italy

The dimensions are given without the shades and without the sockets. Good overall condition. The painted iron presents with a few surface scratches, surface scuffs and tiny dents, not visually distracting. There are a few very rare and tiny losses of patina revealing the meatl underneath. One lamp presents with a later touch-up of paint on approximately 3 cm. The other lamp presents with a scratch/scuff on approximately 2,5 cm on the stem (revealing the red sublayer). The edges presents with some wear, revealing the red sub-layer, as partially visible in the catalogue illustration. Some surface soiling. The shades are newer and in very good overall condition. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
