Pair Vintage Hedi Schoop Art Creations Asian Girls With Parasols - Lamps

$995.00

Offered is this pair of Hedi Schoop figures of Asian Girls with Parasols, which someone turned into a pair of lamps. These lamp bases were custom made for these figures, likely in the 1960s or 1970s. One would expect these were cherished by their owner to have such elaborate bases made for them. The figurines are off-white and black, with gold highlights. Add shades and they are ready to go.

They have been fully rewired and new solid brass sockets added. The original sockets were aluminum, and were quite worn, so the brass seemed a much more appropriate fit for functionality and appearance.

The figures have no damage that I can see. I felt all the edges and found no chips or repairs. The brass bases show a little wear, but only commensurate with their age. The finials on top look somewhat newer, and are sitting on a small riser.

Measurements:
28-1/4"H overall
25-5/8"H to the shade rest (below the finial)
About 18" to the top of the sockets
Bases are about 8" square
