Stiffel Lamp 50's Mid Century VTG  Modernist regency era lamp

Description: One of the most famous, and monumentally scaled and detailed mid century lamps.... It's understandable why high-end sites and auctions, erroneously describe this as a "Tommi Parzinger for Stiffel lamp."  It's got some of the best hallmark's of TP's work: bold yet thoughtfully executed high-style details. Chicago's own Stiffel Lighting company created the most substantial and wonderfully engineered and designed lamps, bar none. This 1958 lamp cost $120 in the day, or roughly $1000 in today's dollars. Very heavy and high-end: - a whopping total of 12 bulbs (9 small bulbs at the top of the enameled metal 'candles', and 3 regular sized bulbs in the socket cluster.- overall roughly 47 inches tall, from base to the large 'statement' finial. Base is about 10 1/4 inches across. - horizontal switch on base turns on candles, or top socket, or both.- the appropriately scaled off-white linen shade is NEW. (the buyer has the choice of either the WHITE or BLACK linen shade)- I will include the round lower candle bulbs. (the round bulbs are authentic, as opposed to the 'torpedo' shaped xmas type bulbs). A wildly dramatic statement lamp, with a fantastic output of light. Condition:Minor scuffs and shows age appropriate usage. Some discoloration / dark areas on the brass 'candle holders'The matte finish brass base in Excellent condition.Original wiring. Switch works as it should.Per previous note, choice of shades available. Shipping:I won't ship. The buyer is responsible for arranging 'white glove' type shipping. There are lots of great companies with affordable service.Just a few:TSC Moving,Plycon Van lines,uship.com (also great, for getting shipping quotes/bids) The lamp itself is not heavy, and shipping should be fairly affordable. I certainly can help with exact dimensions.All movers are independent of us, and therefore we don't pack or set up shipping, or are responsible for their actions. You will need toinsure it with them and claims are to be directed to the actual shipper. 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 usually fire engine red) 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. Posted with eBay Mobile
