Pair of Large Brass Table Lamps by Willy Daro, Belgium, 1970s

A pair of large table lamps by Belgian designer Willy Daro, dating from the 1970s. The tall rectangular bases are crafted from brass and divided into vertical panels, giving the lamps a strong architectural character. The warm tones and natural patina add beautiful depth to the design. The shades are slightly adjustable in height. Willy Daro worked in Brussels and became known for his distinctive lighting during the 1960s and 1970s. While many of his designs can be wonderfully extravagant, these lamps show a quieter side of his work. They are unmistakably 1970s, yet their simple lines keep them from feeling too heavy. Both lamps carry the Willy Daro maker’s mark. In very good vintage condition, with wear consistent with age and use and a warm, naturally developed patina. Please note that the shades appear a little whiter in the photos. In reality, they have a natural canvas colour. This is due to the colour adjustment needed to reproduce the brass as accurately as possible.
