$1,200.001960s Robert Sonneman floor lamp featuring an arching arm, which connects the chrome ball fixture to the stem – all supported by a painted-steel, circular base. The arm height is adjustable, lowering the overall height from 75″ to 68″, and swivels in a full 360 degree rotation.
Stylish, practical design, which offers an easy transference of the light source (arm glides effortlessly along its axis).

Vintage Slate and Teakwood Studio Craft Floor Lamp by Harspwell House
$1,600.00Vintage floor lamp (shade is not included) composed of a rectangular teak column supported by a footed rectangular base constructed using Harpswell House’s patented process of laminating inlaid wood (teak in this case) with ‘300 million year old’ black slate (Maine, USA).
Though unlabeled, the base is undoubtedly Harpswell House who, in addition to small household items, sold table lamps in inlaid wood and slate. This floor version is believed to be a custom order circa 1964-65. No other floor lamp examples have been documented.
Handsome, studio craft piece in the New Hope Style of woodworkers including Phillip Lloyd Powell and Emil Milan, who crafted minimalistic designs from indigenous woods to showcase the materials. The modest form of the lamp pairs nicely with the vibrant grain of the wood and the sleek color and material contrast of the slate.
Very good, conservatively refinished condition; spots/scuffs to the wood and slate remain, and one small chip is present to the wood directly above the base on one side.
Shade is for demonstration only and is not included, though the lamp with the shade measures H: 63″ x Diameter: 14″ (for perspective only)
Lamp height (teak stem and slate base alone): 48.63″
Lamp height (socket): 50.75″
Lamp height (finial): 61″
Base: L: 7″ x D: 7″
