DESCRIPTION:
Set of 3 original "Dora" rock lamps designed by André Cazenave (1928-2003) for Atelier A and Tecta, circa 1969.
Fiberglass shade with marble powder finish, aluminum base.  Rocker switch on the cord.  Socket takes a standard base light bulb.  All original.
For table or floor.
Marks and labels:  the small rock has a Tecta label on the underside;  the medium rock has an original "Younkers" retail price label (0);  there is a remnant of another of these retail price labels on the large lamp.  No other marks or labels.
The small rock has a shorter, slightly thicker cord and a slightly different switch but it appears to be all original.  All 3 rocks have identical plugs.
Circa 1970.  France or Germany.
NOTE:  I recommend using either very low wattage incandescent light bulbs in these or LED bulbs.
COSMETIC CONDITION:
All 3 lamps are in excellent original cosmetic condition.  No damage and no significant wear.  No restorations or repairs.
No missing parts.  No replaced / non original parts.
No dings, breaks, cracks, splits, scuffs.  No significant rubs or scratches.  No warping, burns, melting or scorching to the fiberglass.  No corrosion or pitting to the metal components and no significant oxidation.  No tool marks.
Generally very clean as found.  No cigarette odors or residues.  No stains or discolorations.
No signs of abuse.  These lamps generally show little sign of use.
On close inspection you may detect some typical, light, use-related wear:  light, superficial rubs to the aluminum bases.   Nothing at all significant or conspicuous.
ELECTRICAL / FUNCTION:
All 3 lamps are functional as found with no issues.
All electrical components appear to be original.
I detect no damage to the visible electrical components (the sockets, plugs and cords).
All the electrical components are very clean and free of corrosion, scorching, etc.
All switches are functional with no issues.
I always recommend having vintage electrical items (including lamps) looked over by a professional before use.
