Unique pair of functionalist table lamps from the 1930s, produced in Czechoslovakia. The design reflects the clean geometry of the Bauhaus period with subtle Art Deco influence, combining chrome-plated construction with striking yellow glass shades. Their compact proportions and bold material contrast make them highly distinctive examples of early modern lighting.
The lamps feature a minimalist chrome structure that supports cylindrical yellow glass shades, creating a warm ambient glow while maintaining a precise architectural presence. The balance between functional clarity and decorative character is typical of interwar Central European design. Production is likely connected to a Czechoslovak lighting manufacturer such as Anýž, though exact attribution remains unconfirmed.
The pair is in well-preserved original condition. Chrome surfaces show minor age-related wear consistent with period pieces. The glass shades are intact, and both lamps are fully functional.
