Bring a touch of coastal glamour and luminous luxury to your space with this stunning vintage solid brass shell candlestick lamp by Sarreid, Ltd. This curated Turtle and Crane find features two beautifully cast, highly detailed brass scallop shells embracing a classic candlestick column, all resting on a sleek black plinth base.
Provenance & Dating: We can confidently date this heavy, masterfully crafted piece to the 1970s. During this era, Sarreid, Ltd. partnered with artisan foundries to produce solid, high-quality cast brass decor before lighter-weight brass plating became the industry standard in the late 1980s. This lamp retains its original, era-specific foil paper labels (including the handwritten 'Made in India' reference sticker and separate copyright label), serving as definitive proof of its 1970s production and guaranteeing its enduring quality.
Whether anchoring a colorful, Maximalist entryway, sitting atop a vintage Faux Bamboo credenza, or adding a touch of Dorothy Draper-inspired elegance to a grand living space, the brilliant contrast of the radiant brass against the dark base creates a striking silhouette. It perfectly captures the essence of Hollywood Regency glamour and vibrant Palm Beach Regency flair. A heavy, substantial piece that serves as both functional lighting and a sculptural work of art.
