Cool pair of Antique French 'Briet Brevete' seltzer bottle lamps. These seltzer bottles are from the late 19th or early 20th century, and were later turned into lamps. They still have their original pewter accents including the spout and valve mechanism. The antique glass bottles are wrapped in natural color wicker (each slightly different on color). They've been electrified and attached to white ceramic bases with red felt on the underside. These are not an exact match but complement each other nicely. Each includes an attached harp and a metal mesh finial that coordinates nicely with the wicker mesh on the bottles. A great sculptural pair of light fixtures and conversation piece!

Each measure 6-3/4" diameter at the base x 21-1/2" high to top of socket and 31-1/2" high to top of finial.
