Founded by S. Theodore Stiffel in Chicago in 1932, the Stiffel Company revolutionized lighting design by introducing innovative, high-end lamps that combined artistic merit with functional excellence. During the mid-20th century, Stiffel became renowned for its Hollywood Regency and Moorish Revival styles, which often utilized rich ceramic glazes paired with polished brass components. These lamps were crafted to make a bold statement in sophisticated American interiors of the post-war era. Today, vintage Stiffel lamps are highly sought after by collectors of mid-century and Hollywood Regency decor for their enduring quality and distinctive aesthetic. See less
