Pair of Vintage Brass Floor Lamps with Cylindrical Shades
This is a pair of vintage floor lamps, likely dating from the mid-20th century, characterized by their slender brass-toned standards and cylindrical lampshades. The lamps appear to stand approximately 5 to 6 feet tall, designed to provide ambient or task lighting. Each lamp features a vertical, slender column, possibly constructed from brass or a brass-plated metal, which exhibits some visible tarnish and patina consistent with age. The bases are square or rectangular, dark-colored, and appear to be made of a heavy material like cast iron or weighted wood to ensure stability. The electrical cords, which are visible, are wrapped around the lower sections of the lamps, indicating their serviceable condition but also suggesting potential wear or brittle insulation, and appear to be standard two-prong plugs. The cylindrical lampshades are off-white or cream-colored fabric, stretched over a wire frame. One of the lampshades clearly displays a faded floral or botanical motif in a muted color, possibly blue or gray, adding a decorative element. The other lampshade appears plain. Both shades show signs of age, including discoloration, possible staining, and some visible creasing or imperfections in the fabric. The stitching along the top and bottom edges of the shades is visible, typical of constructed fabric shades. The harp and finial assembly at the top of each lamp standard is also brass-toned, with a decorative finial. The overall condition suggests that these are used vintage items, exhibiting wear consistent with their estimated age, such as tarnishing on the metal, dust accumulation, and potential minor deterioration of the electrical components and lampshade fabric. The craftsmanship appears to be functional and standard for lamps of this era, without overly elaborate detailing, focusing on utility with a touch of decorative appeal.
