Bring a touch of mid-century sophistication and Hollywood Regency glam into your space with this exceptional pair of 1960s solid brass table lamps. Featuring a striking, sculptural twisted center column and a classic tiered base, these lamps exhibit the exceptional craftsmanship, heavy weight, and timeless design profile highly characteristic of premium makers of the era like Stiffel.
Condition & Craftsmanship
This is a substantial pair, constructed from heavy, solid brass anchored by an internal iron ballast in each base to ensure stability. The brass retains its beautiful, original factory clear-coat finish, which has protected the metal over the decades, preserving its luster. Because this original factory lacquer is intact, the brass is remarkably low-maintenance—the buyer will never have to polish them, as they simply wipe clean with a soft cloth.
These lamps are in excellent vintage condition and have been well cared for. The original finish is largely intact, though buyers should expect minor surface scratches and a few tiny age spots consistent with gentle use and age. These imperfections are entirely superficial and easily masked by the natural brilliance and reflection of the polished brass.
Hardware & Authenticity Notes
The pair features hardware entirely consistent with high-end American lighting production from the 1960s:
* Wiring: Both lamps retain their original mid-century, gold-tinted parallel cords and original, era-correct unpolarized Gilbert brand plugs.
* Socket Update: To ensure smooth daily operation, one original sluggish pull-chain socket was recently replaced with a new brass-shell socket. It is safety-tested and UL-certified up to 250W/250V, matching the electrical specifications of the original hardware.
* Attribution: While the original paper foil manufacturer tags are no longer present, the incredible weight, specific hardware grouping, and signature twisted brass casting strongly align with documented mid-century Stiffel designs.

Excellent vintage condition. These lamps have been well cared for over the decades. The original clear finish is largely intact, though buyers should expect minor surface scratches and a few tiny age spots consistent with gentle use and age. As shown in the photos, these imperfections are superficial and easily masked by the natural brilliance and reflection of the polished brass. Because this original factory lacquer is intact, the brass is remarkably low-maintenance—the buyer will never have to polish them, as they simply wipe clean with a soft cloth. One sluggish pull-chain socket was recently replaced with a brand-new, safety-tested, and UL-certified brass-shell socket (250W/250V) to ensure flawless everyday operation.
