A striking and exceptionally glamorous pair of vintage mid-century torchieres designed by Edwin Cole for Stiffel, sourced from the historic estate furnishings of Colorado’s legendary Broadmoor Hotel. These sculptural lamps embody the luxurious intersection of Hollywood Regency, Chinoiserie influence, and refined Mid-Century Modern design.

The lamps feature richly glazed ceramic bodies in a luminous jade green / turquoise tone with extraordinary depth and movement in the glaze. Their substantial scale is balanced by elegant antique brass detailing, geometric gallery-style top rails, and classic Stiffel craftsmanship throughout. When illuminated, the original textured milk-glass torchiere shades cast a warm ambient glow that feels both sophisticated and dramatic.

These are statement pieces — bold, architectural, and highly collectible — equally at home in a layered maximalist interior, a Palm Beach-inspired setting, or a curated mid-century environment.
