Combining … Read more A dramatic vintage Hollywood Regency floor lamp with an integrated round glass table, dating approximately to the late 1960s–1970s. Combining lighting, sculpture, and functional furniture in a single piece, this unusually ornate lamp features elaborate cast-metal scrollwork, acanthus leaves, classical foliate ornament, a richly textured central column, and a clear circular glass shelf that allows it to serve simultaneously as a floor lamp, side table, end table, drink table, telephone table, or reading lamp.

The sculptural base is particularly striking, built around symmetrical openwork C-scrolls and scrolling acanthus foliage rising from a broad shaped plinth with repeating classical leaf-and-egg ornament. Additional pierced leaf collars, beaded details, fluted elements, and a tall textured stem continue the decoration upward. The surface has an intentionally aged antiqued gilt, bronze, and verdigris-style finish, creating the layered patina associated with mid-century Hollywood Regency and Italianate revival interiors.

At approximately midway up the lamp, a substantial 16-inch round clear glass table or tray surrounds the central column. The glass provides a useful surface for a drink, book, small sculpture, plant, or other decorative object, making this an especially practical vintage lamp for placement beside a sofa, lounge chair, reading chair, or bed. These hybrid floor lamp/table lamps, tray-table lamps, lamp tables, and smokers’ lamps were a distinctive mid-century lighting form and are increasingly difficult to find in such an elaborate configuration.

Above the glass shelf, the tall column continues through additional cast foliate ornament to a raised candle-style socket assembly and broad dish-form bobeche. The lamp is topped with an ornate leaf-form finial and is shown with a neutral tapered shade, which complements the elaborate base without competing with the metalwork.

The design draws strongly from Neoclassical, Rococo Revival, Baroque Revival, Italianate, and Louis-style decorative traditions, interpreted through the glamorous historicist lens of Hollywood Regency. The detailed cast-metal construction and antiqued finish are reminiscent of decorative lighting produced by makers such as Loevsky & Loevsky / L&L WMC, Frederick Cooper, Stiffel, Rembrandt, and other American lighting manufacturers of the period, although no maker’s mark has been located and the lamp is offered as an unattributed vintage design.

A wonderful statement piece for a Hollywood Regency, maximalist, traditional, French-inspired, Italianate, Neoclassical, Rococo Revival, Baroque Revival, eclectic, grandmillennial, vintage, or collected interior. It works equally well as a floor lamp, standing lamp, reading lamp, tray-table lamp, table floor lamp, side-table lamp, end-table lamp, sofa lamp, library lamp, bedroom lamp, living-room lamp, or decorative accent light.
