Pair of Edouard-Wilfred Buquet (French, 1886-1999) Double Balance Table Lamps, designed c. 1925, mid to late 20th century, nickel-plated brass on wood base, stamped brass label, "Buquet Bte SGDG Paris," approx. maximum ht. 40 in. Note: Little is known about the French designer Edouard-Wilfred Buquet. His best and only known work is his articulated lamp of 1927. It was not until the 1970s that research revealed the attribution to Buquet for the patented counterweight system and the patent date for this popular lighting fixture. Estimate $500-1,000 On one lamp, the inner extension rod on the lower balance rod is loose causing it not to stay in position. Requires bayonet bulbs. Needs re-wiring. Items may have wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Any condition statement given, as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact.
