Each column rises from a gently flared base to a molded shoulder, offering a classical, architectural silhouette that provides substantial visual weight at the base of the lamp. Polished brass hardware tops each column, including a dual-socket fitting mounted on a crossbar arm, a design detail that allows for two bulbs per lamp and adds a sculptural, almost industrial element atop the smooth glass form. Clear acrylic finial rods extend above the sockets, their transparent, minimalist lines contrasting with the warmer, more substantial glass and brass below. Each lamp is mounted on a clear Lucite base, its transparent platform allowing the marbled glass column to appear to float, a hallmark of mid-century Italian design that favored combining traditional materials like glass and brass with then-modern acrylic elements for a sophisticated, layered aesthetic.

Place this pair on nightstands, a console table, or flanking a sofa for elegant, coordinated lighting with genuine sculptural presence. Their blend of glass, brass, and Lucite suits Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, Italian, Glam, and Eclectic interiors. Each lamp measures 6.5 in / 165 mm wide, 6.5 in / 165 mm deep, and 31 in / 787 mm high. Dust the glass, brass, and Lucite regularly with a soft, dry cloth, and have the wiring inspected by a qualified electrician before use if the lamps’ electrical history is unknown. The pair is in very good vintage condition, with brass components exhibiting a light, age-appropriate patina and minor surface wear, glass elements intact with no visible chips or cracks, and Lucite bases clear with minimal surface scuffs; the lamps are structurally sound and visually appealing.
