Dating from the peak of 1970s Hollywood Regency glamour, this heavy, magnificent pair of table lamps by Crystal Clear Industries is a masterclass in theatrical elegance. A beautiful product of mid-century transatlantic design, the statuesque urn-shaped bodies were blown and hand-cut by master glass artisans in Poland using elite 24% lead crystal, before being imported to New York to be hand-assembled with their heavy brass fixtures.

The crystal is deeply carved with an intricate ballet of starbursts, fan motifs, and diamond lines that catch the ambient light—even when switched off. They stand proudly on heavily weighted, scalloped pedestal bases of polished brass-tone metal, adding a grounded touch of Old Hollywood luxury to your décor.

The Secret Glow: A Multi-Act Performance

The true magic of this pair lies just beneath the surface. Equipped with a rare, clever 3-way internal socket mechanism, a simple twist of the key switch allows you to curate your mood:

Act I: Illuminates the top main bulb for a classic, commanding radiance.

Act II: Ignites the internal Polish crystal urn body independently, transforming the lamp into a glowing, sultry accent piece—perfect for late-night cocktails or ambient evening unwinding.

Act III: Illuminates both sections simultaneously for a truly spectacular, multi-layered dramatic glow that showcases every hand-cut edge of the crystal.


Curated & Complete
To save you the modern headache of hunting for the perfect proportions, these lamps have been fully "boutiqued" and come complete with pristine, hand-selected matching shades that perfectly balance their grand 32-inch silhouette.

Whether anchoring an entry console to greet guests with a warm, glowing embrace or flanking a formal living room sofa, they bring an undeniable presence of European craftsmanship and mid-century wit to sophisticated modern interiors.
