Hi Mark,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Curtis Jere (also written C. Jere) is the signature name for a design collective known for producing iconic mid-century modern sculptures, wall art, and lighting. The name represents the collaborative work of artists Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels, who combined their first names to form the brand.
This style of lamp is one of the brand's iconic designs and often retails for between $1,500 and $2,500, though they don't bring quite as much at auction: $700 and $1,000 are more usually the fair market prices realized.
