Hollywood Regency Floor lamp, Ted Stiffel

The stiffel lamp company manufactured quality lamps for over 68 years. Ted stiffel and his designers produced lamps with both innovative and classical designs. Ted stiffel, an artist and designer, opened the stiffel lamp company in chicago, illinois, in 1932. For decades the stiffel lamp company crafted lamps that included a unique foil signature from pewter, brass and bronze. Stiffel created the stiffel pole lamp that featured a vertical tube with rotating lamp fixtures outside of the tube. The stiffel pole lamp was one of the most popular lamps in the 1940s and 1950s, and it is the precursor of modern track lighting. This model has a hidden on/off switch located in the middle bar and switching on is controlled by moving the bar up and down. The decorative molding under the lampshade resembles a piece of jewelry, and so does the entire lamp. Hollywood regency 1950s style by stieffel.
