A gorgeous pair of lamps from the 50's in Hollywood Regency style, these lamps are huge & heavy. They come with the original lamp shades, which do have tears in both but could be easily redone. As to the construction : they appear chrome, but they are actually a "chromed " ceramic of some sort. They seem to be between chrome & mercury glass. ( although they are neither ) The are very heavy ~ 10 pounds each. Measures : 20" just the base ~ 32" bottom to finial. Pick up in the Hartford CT area.
