Each lamp is designed as a bust depicting a figure in classic striped swim attire, with the words "Coney Island Men's Swim Club" prominently featured. Crafted from wood with fiberglass components, the busts capture the muscular contours and textured details of the vintage swimsuits, while a lacquer finish with a warm patina enriches the earthy tones and highlights the carved detailing. Original brass fittings rise above each bust, adding a subtle golden sheen and a refined finishing touch. The playful subject matter pays homage to the classic boardwalk and beach-club culture of Coney Island, making these lamps instant conversation starters. Displayed as a matching pair, they create a balanced, symmetrical look while still delivering plenty of humor and personality. Standing 32.5 inches tall, they have a commanding presence on a pair of nightstands, flanking a sofa, or at either end of a sideboard or console. They are a natural fit for coastal, Palm Beach, eclectic and Americana-inspired interiors, and add personality to a beach house, bar, game room or den.

Each lamp measures 16.75 inches wide, 11.25 inches deep and 32.5 inches high. The pair is in very good vintage condition. The original lacquer finish has a warm patina consistent with age, with minor scuffs and light surface scratches, particularly on the lower sections. The brass lamp fittings appear intact and functional, and both lamps present beautifully as a set. A memorable and characterful pair for collectors of Americana and figural lighting. See less
