Description
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.

"• The Brass: The solid cast brass is in beautiful, display-ready condition with a bright, radiant finish. It shows only minor, expected surface wear and micro-scratches consistent with 1970s vintage age, with no heavy tarnishing or verdigris.
"• The Base: The black plinth base provides a striking contrast and is in great shape, showing only very faint, superficial wear along the bottom edges.
"• The Labels: The original felt base pad is completely intact and securely retains both the original Sarreid, Ltd. copyright label and the "Made in India" reference sticker.
"• The Wiring: The lamp features its original vintage wiring and plug. It has been tested and is in working order; however, as with all vintage lighting, we always recommend having it inspected by a professional if you plan for heavy daily use.
