Vintage PAIR Mid Century Modern GEORGE KOVACS FLOOR LAMP by Ettore Sottsass RARE

Description: Offering an IMPOSSIBLE TO FINDmatching PAIR of GEORGE KOVACS floor lamps from the late 1970's. Both lamps work perfectly. Gorgeous very sleek retro mid-century modern high-tech design by Ettore Sottsass. I am the original owner. I purchased these brand new in 1978. They were very expensive at the time.If memory serves, I bought these at the Roche Bobois high-end furniture store in Beverly Hills, California.They flanked an $8000 Roche Bobois couch in the living room of my Beverly Glen Canyon, California homefor many years and were seldom used, but I live in a small apartment now and it is time to let someone elseenjoy them. The round black metal bases do show wear from thirty years of gentle use and ten years in storage.There is some corrosion, edgewear, small scratches and other blemishes to the bases but it would be very easy and not very expensive at all to sand the bases down and repaint them so they look brand new (but I want to leave them in ALL ORIGINAL condition and will leave that task up to the buyer). Please inspect all of the close-up photos carefully. Dimensions are 41 inches tall. Base diameter is 11 inches. I've only seen one of these lamps on eBay in the past twenty years. The asking price for that single lamp has fluctuated between $1500. and $2200. but frankly, I'm not sure what one would do with just one of these. You really need a pair for the full effect. This may be the only working pair of these lamps available in the entire world. I am going to start bidding at $1899.00 for the pair plus shipping costs, but I will consider any reasonable offer. GRAB 'EM NOW WHILE YOU CAN WITH THE "BUY IT NOW" OPTION Buyer pays $200. for secure INSURED shipping (in plenty of bubblewrap and boxed separately) via FEDERAL EXPRESS GROUND with TRACKING (within the continental USA). Shipping elsewhere will be higher. Local pickup is available (and encouraged). They are located approximately 40 miles north of downtown Chicago.
