    I've had these sitting in my garage/storage unit for the couple of years & am thinking about selling them - except I don't know anything about them!
    One cool thing I haven't seen before - the harps are adjustable! So I guess no matter what size shade you put on them you can adjust the harps so they fit perfectly?
    With the harp extended they measure 45.5" - pretty big for table lamps, right?
    Also the crystals on the bottom are not glued in place; they move like on a chandelier!
    Sp, if anyone can help me:
    What year/years are these from?
    What style are they?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I would think 1960-70s wait for others to respond

    Agree. That height a bit of a giveaway.

    I'd consider them (loosely) Hollywood Regency but others may disagree.

    Hollywood Bordello would work too.

    Or gold velvet, or royal blue.

    They can be tarted up - or down. I think they are pretty cool.

    Journeymagazine, I don't mean to "rain" on your lamp but . . . personally I would not want to put my arm up the middle of that lamp to turn it on/off with all of those sharp edges going up the middle of the lamp. I foresee the possibility that clothing as well as skin on an arm/hand could be nicked/cut.

    I do think a practical solution could be to plug it into a wall socket with a timer to turn it on and turn it off automatically at pre-set times and that may be the best way to work around sticking a hand/arm up the middle of that lamp. ;)

    Maybe that's why the adjustable harps?

    Agree - 1950's -70's vintage that have fairly limited value. Interestingly, there are folks who seek out these type of lamps. A list of what they have going for them - 1. functional lamp & a pair as well 2. the metal parts may be real brass not spelter. 3. Not just one/two piece bases.... each has 15-20 assembled pieces. 4. adjustable harps. If set up correctly in a vintage oriented room, they'd be neat. An example of America's final era of lamp production before the imported onslaught that devastated the industry in the 80's & 90's.

    Not just the lamp industry, but all of America's industries.
