Pair of Large JC Mahey Lacquer and Brass Lamps, 1970s

This pair of lamps is typical of designer JC Mahey’s midcentury brass and lacquer work. A rich burgundy base feels serious and sophisticated and is offset by brass accents, including Chinese lettering on the base. Their minimal design and trendy coloring makes them ideal for both vintage and contemporary interiors—and for added versatility, two different lampshade options offer distinct looks: a creamy, fluted shade feels warm and cosy, while a boxy, crisp white shade gives the lamps a chic, urban feel. The pair is found in very good vintage condition.
