Description
A matched pair of Paul Hanson table lamps in the Neoclassical taste, each composed around an urn-form cut-crystal reservoir that rises from a stepped black marble base and is crowned by a brass socket assembly bearing the maker's label. The crystal bodies are richly worked with a diamond-point lattice over the shoulder transitioning to elongated vertical flutes that taper toward the foot, an arrangement that emphasizes both height and clarity while catching light in a faceted, prismatic way. Above, a banded collar and broad, saucer-like crystal disk create a visual break before the brass cap and harp saddle, the warm metal finish providing a deliberate contrast to the cool transparency of the glass. The lower section continues the cut patterning with a geometric border at the base of the crystal, while the marble plinths lend weight and a tailored architectural presence consistent with Paul Hanson's mid-century interpretations of classical forms. Presented as a refined pair suited to traditional or transitional interiors, these lamps offer the crisp sparkle of cut crystal balanced by the grounded, graphic silhouette of marble and brass.
