Vintage Brass Candlestick Table Lamp c.1960s — Colonial Revival with Original Shade & Glass Diffuser
A beautifully proportioned brass candlestick table lamp in the Colonial Revival tradition, dating to approximately the 1950s–1970s. Substantial in hand and refined in detail, this is the kind of lamp that anchors a room — equally at home on a mahogany writing desk, a library side table, or a bedroom nightstand.
The turned brass column draws directly from 18th-century candlestick design, with crisp ring detailing along the shaft, a drip pan collar at the socket, and a stepped circular foot with concentric ring molding. The brass retains a warm, naturally aged patina consistent with its age — neither over-polished nor neglected.
Offered with its original drum shade in cognac/brown faux leather with subtle horizontal stripe detailing, and a frosted white glass cone diffuser that sits in the socket for a soft uplight effect — a period detail rarely found intact.
