Pair of Mid-Century Modern Stained Glass Panel Lamps

This is a pair of table lamps, likely dating from the Mid-Century Modern period, characterized by their rectangular forms and distinctive panel design. Each lamp features a prominent, rectangular beige fabric shade that appears to be original, showing some minor dust accumulation but no obvious rips or tears. The bases of the lamps are constructed from what appears to be dark-stained wood or painted metal, forming a sturdy rectangular plinth supporting two vertical rectangular columns. Integrated within these columns are translucent panels, which strongly resemble stained or art glass, featuring an irregular, geometric 'cracked ice' or 'shattered glass' pattern. The lines defining these patterns are dark, contrasting with the lighter, possibly cream or beige, translucent material. The panels exhibit a mosaic-like quality, suggesting individual pieces of glass or a layered resin material. Minor scuffs or dust may be present on the dark frames and bases, consistent with age and storage. The electrical cords are visible and appear to be standard two-pronged cords, suggesting they are either original or have been replaced. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided image. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced but decorative item from the mid-20th century, designed to add a sophisticated, architectural element to interior spaces. The unique panel design is the most distinguishing feature, elevating them beyond typical table lamps.
