This captivating set of two Mid-Century Modern floor lamps, once gracing the Shelbourne Hotel lobby on Miami Beach since its 1940 opening, merges historical allure with timeless design. Their towering silhouettes and substantial presence, highlighted by warm wood finishes and cylindrical forms, cast a beautiful glow while adding architectural interest to any room. In very good condition with minor scratches, they have been rewired, one with a switch and one that requires being manually plugged in to function. Ideal for collectors or designers seeking bold statement pieces, these lamps embody the era’s organic sophistication.
About (Historical Context): Originating from the 1940s with the Shelbourne Hotel’s debut, these lamps reflect the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic with their sleek, sculptural lines. Their design hints at influences from luminaries like Gilbert Rohde and George Nelson, known for innovative lighting, or Scandinavian designer Paavo Tynell, famed for elegant wooden forms. Sourced from a legendary Miami Beach landmark, they carry a rich mid-20th-century legacy, appealing to enthusiasts and interior professionals alike. For precise attribution, a maker’s mark or expert consultation is recommended.

Save for a few minor electrical and veneer repairs this artfully-designed and crafted set of Art Deco floor lights is in original, vintage condition. The thick-cut Burmese teak veneer does show signs of vintage wear such as nicks, gouges, scratches (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided). With that said the wood is in overall very good original shape and the variegated woodgrains of the teak are absolutely mesmerizing in natural light. After some electrical work the lighting is fit by standard lightbulbs making it convenient and easy to change or modify lighting tone and brightness. One lamp has a switch and one requires being plugged to function. The original glass lamp covers are intact and each lamp is free standing. This incredible set of floor lights is functional, structurally solid and ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Please view all photos and natural light video for details on this set's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
