Pair of Lightolier Floor Lamps in Polished Brass and Painted Metal
Pair of extraordinary and rare circa early 1950s Lightolier floor lamps in brass with red painted metal (paint is original) and rubber insulated brass details. There is a brass coil finished with a brass ball finial adorning the top of the stem supported by a circular weighted and painted brass base. Finished with a dense glass diffuser, intended to support a shade. Can function without a shade, as the clear glass diffuses the light without one.
Restored condition: brass has been polished, and metal has been cleaned. Minor wear / smattering of paint loss to the base remains.
Includes the original Lightolier tag, as shown.
Shade not included.
Measures: Height 52.75″ x base diameter 10.25″ x glass shade diameter 6.5″.
