Fernand Dresse pair of table lamps Balgium 1970s

Impressive large sized pair of table lamps designed by Fernand Dresse and made in his own atelier in Belgium in 1970. The lamps are made of resin with stunning bone inlays consisting of rectangles in different sizes. In the resin there’s a wood grain pattern visible. Highly decorative set of lamps with a neutral off white colour. The shades are newly made and are in excellent condition. They are held by a brass structure and can be adjusted in height. On top they are secured by a brass knob. Fernand Dresse is mostly known by his sculptural resin and brass coffee tables, lamps from his hand are more rare.

These lamps are checked in our own atelier, cleaned and are also suitable for use in the USA. For US usage we could change the plug, or you can get a converter if needed for a floor or table lamp with transformer in it.
