Pair of Midcentury Weiss and Barr Brutalist Table Lamps for Laurel Lamp Co.
This sculptural and dynamic pair of Mid-Century Modern lamps were designed by the illustrious Harold Barr and Richard Weiss for the Laurel Lamp Company in the United States, circa 1970. Forged in lustrous chrome- offering the appearance of quick silver- they feature a curvilinear swooping form full of energy, verve, and motion. They sit on austere and Minimalist rectangular black enamel bases which offer a clean, geometric counterpoint to the amorphic form of the body. With their clean modernist lines and neutral palate, these gorgeous table lamp would be a winning addition to any style of interior from Classic Mid-Century Modern to contemporary. They have been newly rewired and are in excellent condition. The lamps come fitted with custom shades. Excellent condition.
