About the Item

80s Very Rare Set of Vintage Postmodern Memphis Geometric Distressed Glass & Gold Leaf Designer Hivo Van Teal Table Lamps - a Pair Extraordinary and Super Rare Pair of 80s Postmodern Glass and Iron, Stacked, Acid Washed, Distressed Table Lamps by Designer Hivo Van Teal. Van Teal made a very limited number of acid washed, distressed lighting pieces. In the 1980s, these were exclusively custom designed, and considered very high end art pieces. They were the "Haute Couture" of lighting when "Grunge" became the rage in Palm Beach. These lamps, remind me of the scene, in the 1980s movie, "Greed", after Charlie Sheen made it on Wall Street then redecorated his condo with torn wall paper, fractured plaster cove moulding, wild textures and acid washed furnishings. The lamps rest upon an iron tripod bases. The iron legs are curled and have an applied Gold Leaf finish All of the gold elements on these lamps are finished with hand applied gold leaf The body of the lamp, consists of three very dense, solid, acid washed glass geometric sections. Each are separated by gold leafed, 3" diameter balls The bottom piece is an 8" diameter light pink glass half circle. The center element is an acid washed, teal, inverted cone, 4" in height The top part is a 5.5" diameter, lovely Raspberry colored glass half circle. Because glass is dense and solid, the lamps are extremely heavy. Everything is distressed, or acid washed, including the gold leaf. It's most prominently seen on the teal section Any seemingly "imperfection", is part of the design. Note: THE SHADE IS NOT INCLUDED I personally spoke. to Mr Van Teal's son, who told me the original shades for this lamp set were gold. However, l have posted other lovely complementary options to consider. The gold shade l used, and the other colored shades, are available from a major online seller. These shades Include the proper height harp and a finial. Unfortunately, they only offer it in silver. A Gold finial will mask the silver of the harps This retailer will ship the shades to you for free. Perhaps you can request gold plated harps from the retailer Since folks often have questions about the correct shade heigh to pair with a lamp, l have posted all the dimensions of the lamp and the photos shade used. One lamp has a minor scratch. It is not a chip. It may have been a production fissure. I have provide 2 photos of this minor scratch. An extreme closeup and a relational photo to a larger section of the lamp. It is not detracting. MEASUREMENTS - (LAMPS ONlLY) 28.5" x 12" W x 12" D MEASUREMENTS - WITH SHADE & FINIAL 36.5" H x 16" W x 16" D The electric cord comes down through the center of the pedestal. The cord is a 2 pronged plug, and is wired for 120v, North American use. Each lamp can handle a 60 Watt max lightbulb. They can easily be converted, if necessary to European electrical requirements. (PHOTOS OF PLUG POSTED) Lamps can be disassembled for more economical shipping. These are truly exception, incredible to find as a pair, and the combination of colors and design elements make them truly, focal, functional, sculptural works of art! vtg Rainbow Products Sweden Teak Wood Appetizer Chip Dip Tray display stand 15 1/2" long , 9 3/4" wide, 3 1/2" high, great designer piece if you like DANISH MODERN, MID CENTURY MODERN.
