Vintage Stiffel Brass Table Lamp

A handsome vintage Stiffel brass table lamp with the substantial proportions, sculptural detailing, and timeless craftsmanship for which Stiffel lighting is known.

The richly aged brass finish gives the lamp warmth and depth, while its beautifully tiered silhouette creates an elegant architectural presence.

The design features a faceted central body surrounded by a series of turned, graduated forms that draw the eye upward. Subtle decorative detailing across the brass surface adds character without overwhelming the lamp’s classic profile. The aged finish and tonal variations give the piece the collected quality that makes vintage brass lighting so appealing.

Standing 26-1/2 inches high, this is a substantial table lamp that works beautifully on a console, side table, writing desk, bedside chest, or library table. It is fitted with a 3-way socket for adjustable illumination and retains a brown electrical cord that complements the warm brass finish.

Why We Love It

We love the weight and presence of this lamp. The combination of its sculptural Stiffel silhouette, aged brass finish, and generous scale gives it the sophistication of a classic American design piece while allowing it to mix effortlessly with French antiques, traditional interiors, and more contemporary furnishings.

Design Notes

Pair this lamp with a tailored ivory, cream, or natural linen shade to emphasize its traditional character. For a more updated look, a slightly oversized drum or tapered shade creates a beautiful contrast with the ornate brass base. We especially love it layered with antique wood furniture, collected artwork, books, and richly textured fabrics.
