Full Description:
A substantial and beautifully proportioned solid brass table lamp by Stiffel, featuring the brand's signature extra-heavy construction and architectural Neoclassical form. Crafted in solid brass with a stepped square plinth base and sculptural urn body, this lamp has the unmistakable weight and balance Stiffel is known for.
The collar is clearly marked "The Stiffel Company," confirming authenticity. The lamp retains its original patina "” rich, warm, and unpolished "” preserving its character and history rather than being overly polished or refinished. Its original three-way socket allows for adjustable lighting levels.
This piece has been paired with a new 17" off-white linen drum shade (17" diameter top and bottom) selected specifically to emphasize its clean architectural geometry. The drum silhouette complements the square base and gives the lamp a tailored, designer-forward presentation while maintaining classic proportions.
Sourced from the Estate of Linda W., Porterville, California, where it was part of a curated collection of vintage and antique lamps. The collection was well maintained, and pieces were kept in original condition, reflecting careful long-term ownership.
A timeless American lighting piece with excellent scale, presence, and craftsmanship.
