Pair of Mid-Century Modern golden brass and glass table lamps by Stiffel, United States By: Stiffel Material: brass, copper, zinc, metal, glass, crystal, cord Technique: cast, molded, polished, metalwork Dimensions: 6.5 in x 6.5 in x 42 in Date: mid-20th century, circa 1960 Style: Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency Place of origin: United States A pair of table lamps crafted by Stiffel in the United States around 1960, featuring a refined interplay between golden brass and hand-cut glass. The bases are cast in a tiered architectural form, supporting tulip-shaped bodies of clear crystal, intricately cut with crosshatch and elongated oval patterns, and framed by a gilded, openwork, foliate collar. The upper structure rises with classical detailing in brass, crowned by finials and designed to accommodate standard shades. Both lamps retain the original Underwriters Laboratories label—a mark certifying compliance with electrical safety standards in the U.S., ensuring both functionality and reliability. Founded in Chicago in 1932 by Ted Stiffel, the Stiffel Lamp Company is known for its integration of sculptural form and craftsmanship rooted in fine arts traditions.
