floorlamps
Pair of 1970s Patinated Brass Chapman Floor Lamps
These floor lamps were designed by Chapman in the 1970s, combining Industrial and Modern Design. Composed entirely of brass, these lamps also feature the signature bronze finish and dimmer ‘ball’ knob with uniquely thick / wide shades. The shade is fully adjustable, offering full 360 degree mobility. Additionally, the height is adjustable at any setting from 38.75″ to 52.5″ (or to 53.5″ with the shade adjusted upward).
Beautiful patina / age and heavier wear to one of the two lamps. Polishing would eradicate much of the wear but remove the signature bronze finish, revealing a satin, polished brass. These are being presented in original condition to preserve the bronze finish.
Base measures L 11″ x D 11.25″
Shade measures L 8.5″ x D 6.25″ x H 2.75″
Overall: H 53.5″ x W 11″ x D 15.25″

Overall, in nice, vintage condition with minimal wear commensurate with age and use. Measures: Height (lowest) 39″ Height (highest) 59.75″ (with full adjustability in between).

Pair of Vintage Brass and Chrome Adjustable Floor Lamps by Cedric Hartman
Pair of “Low Profile Luminaire” floor lamps with brass bases/shades and chrome stems by Cedric Hartman (ca. 1969, Omaha, Nebraska, USA).
Iconic design often referred to as the “Museum Model” since it is included in the MOMA’s permanent collection.
Hartman’s lamps have also been featured in many celebrity homes, and actress, Faye Dunaway, once remarked, “all the great homes have a Cedric Hartman lamp”.
The owners acquired these lamps in 1969 directly from Hartman, a close family friend who additionally gifted them several prototypes of his designs (they have been with the same Omaha, Nebraska family since their original production).
Thoughtful, accommodating design with swiveling shades and pivoting arms. Additionally, the height easily and seamlessly adjusts by raising / lowering the stem, and Hartman’s signature lucite dimmers / on and off switches are original and fully intact. Signature present to both bases.
Newly cleaned / buffed condition; light wear remains (namely light spots of pitting / light scuffing to the bases, as shown, and a couple of light scuffs/tarnish spots to the shades). Note that the brass is un-lacquered, and the bases presently have a silver tone post-polishing. As natural patina reforms, the bases will regain their previous gold hues.

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)
