Description from the seller
Splendid and rare pair of vintage table lamps (abat-jour) dating from the mid-20th century (roughly the 1950s/60s), of refined Italian workmanship. The central stems, characterized by an elegant, classic line, are made of finely turned natural green onyx, with splendid, warm veins that are unique to each piece. All metal finishes (the circular stepped base, the decorative collars, and the upper ring that holds the glass) are in solid 800 silver, finely chased and worked with geometric motifs, fluting, and leaf details. The upper ring features the decorative curved arms originally designed to support glass domed lampshades. Provenance of excellence: The lamps bear under the blue velvet base the original paper label of the historic and exclusive jewelry/silverware shop "Ugo Ghiraldin" of Padua (Via S. Francesco 38), active since 1950. The old five-digit phone number on the sticker certifies the era. Hallmarks and brands: On the upper ring the Italian silver marks are clearly visible: the
