Mid-Century Hollywood Regency Brass and Milk Glass Floor Lamp

This is a vintage floor lamp, likely dating from the 1960s to early 1970s, showcasing a Hollywood Regency aesthetic. The lamp features an antiqued brass-tone metal body with a tall, slender central shaft and a decorative, bulbous base. The base is embellished with cast acanthus leaf patterns and vertical ribbing, finished with a dark patina to accentuate the recessed areas. A distinctive milk glass diffuser shade sits at the top, featuring a dual-texture design with a quilted or hobnail-patterned lower section transitioned into a fluted or pleated upper rim. This shade is designed to house a Mogul or large-format incandescent bulb, often intended for use with a secondary outer silk or pleated fabric shade (currently missing). The lamp is equipped with a thin, brown electrical cord that exits through the central shaft, indicating a middle-20th-century wiring style. The metal shows signs of surface wear, minor pitting, and oxidation consistent with age, particularly on the brass plating. There are no immediately visible maker's marks in the photo, but the heavy casting suggests a mass-market quality typical of companies like Stiffel or Laurel. The overall condition appears fair, requiring a thorough cleaning of the glass and metal components to restore its original luster.
