Obscenely RARE Stiffel Pole lamp with planter. Arguably the rarest and most fantastic pole lamp ever made.
Without any question, there were two makers of the finer mid century \'floor to ceiling\' pole lamps. Lightolier and Stiffel.That said, Stiffel actually invented the concept and theirs were the absolute best. Best designs. Best materials, and incredibly well made.They were also wildly expensive at the time. They didn\'t make the common \'bullet cone\' variety. Much more high style design.
This lamp eclipses the far more common \'Futura\'. I don\'t know if many were produced, because you just don\'t see these. A space age modernist masterpiece. If ever there was a lamp that could be described as \'functional art\', this is it.
A brass lamp with a removable metal cup, where one can put a small plant (or what was common at the time, a small fake one!). The pierced shade houses a normal Edison sized bulb. (when you have a clear bulb installed,the radiated light is incredible.)
The photos shown are in a room with a 101 inch ceiling. And with all proper surviving Stiffel pole lamps, there is a rod section that can be removed to fit a lower ceiling.Speaking of which, you have to be careful when you buy a Stiffel pole lamp to make sure the extra spacer is not missing!
Condition:Minor scuffs and shows age appropriate usage. The push-button switch works perfectly. No dents.As a mid century lamp lover, collector and seller, my philosophy is simple and two pronged;1) RARITY AND BEAUTY
One can easily buy a great $1000 contemporary lamp from Holly Hunt or Circa lighting, or Flos (to name a few) but the lamps I sell
will never be produced again and I appreciate their rarity.
2) HONESTY
I never sell \"Frankenstein\" lamps (odd pieces slapped together, slathered in new paint (oddly enough often with 3 \'gum ball\'colors) and passed off as having an exotic (usually Italian, or Gino Sarfatti ) origin.
Buyer beware, I say!
This will ship either FedX home or UPS for safety.If any shipping cost is less it will be refunded without question.
