Pair of Mid-Century Stiffel “Rocket” Table Lamps in Brass
$3,200.00Matched pair of glamorous Mid-Century Modern “Rocket Lamps” by Stiffel in patinated brass (ca. 1960s, USA).
Slightly different lighting capabilities between the lamps (and hence a visual difference that can be concealed by lamp shades) due to a difference in sockets – one lamp features a 3-way triple-socket/switch mechanism, capable of three different illumination settings. The second has a a dual socket/pull string function that only allows each bulb to be turned on individually or both simultaneously. Both retain the Stiffel patented pole switch, which allows one to manually turn on and off the light by pulling down on the stem’s shaft (see video for demonstration).
Unpolished condition with rich patina/tarnish spots. Wiring has been updated.
Shades are for demonstration purposes and are not included. The shades measure H: 12.13″ x Diameter: 14″ (for reference only).
