Maria Kipp Lighting

Spectacular pair of Maria Kipp table lamps with original bases. Shade colors complement and fit the bases beautifully. When lit a light blue glow appears within the color palette. At first look bases appear to be murano glass, but in fact are cast and painted solid plaster mounted to a gold painted wood base. Original three-way sockets work as intended. Base only measures 23 inches tall, 7.5 inch diameter. Shade only measure 20 inches tall, 15.25 inch diameter.
