About the Item
A rare and distinctive pair of double-light table lamps by Kelby, an American lighting company known for producing stylish, forward-thinking designs in the mid-20th century. Recently restored, the lamps feature polished nickel-plated hardware and original-style pierced metal shades that cast dappled, atmospheric light—adding visual texture and a sense of movement.
While rooted in the American modern tradition, these lamps exhibit a strong French modernist sensibility in their mix of elegance and subtle whimsy. The verticality and symmetry are balanced by the playfulness of the pierced shades, which give the pieces a sculptural, almost jewelry-like presence. The result is lighting that feels both refined and expressive—practical yet imaginative.
Originally, lamps like these would have appealed to clients furnishing stylish metropolitan interiors—people drawn to modern design with a touch of personality. Today, they’re ideal for designers looking to add character and sculptural interest to a space without overwhelming it. These would work beautifully in a contemporary living room, flanking a console in a dramatic entryway, or adding dimension to a restrained bedroom or library.
This rare pair offers not just illumination, but a sense of thoughtful design—where form, material, and light come together with a touch of flair.
