Mid-Century Modern Stacked Brass Candlestick-Style Table Lamp

This is a vintage table lamp base featuring a distinctive 'stacked' or 'beaded' columnar design. The body is constructed from multiple turned brass or brass-plated metal components that graduate in size, creating a rhythmic, bulbous silhouette characteristic of Mid-Century Modern or Hollywood Regency styles, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s. The piece stands on a circular tiered base and transitions into a slender neck topped with a socket assembly. The metal surface exhibits a significant aged patina with dark oxidation, surface spotting, and some thinning of the finish, particularly on the upper smooth neck portion. The socket appears to be a standard brass-finish turn-knob style, though the harp is missing, and remnants of what may be old tape or adhesive are visible on the socket housing. A thin, black electrical cord extends from the bottom of the base. No visible manufacturer's mark or signature is seen in the image, but the heavy turned construction indicates a solid build quality common for that era. The overall condition is fair to good, requiring professional cleaning and potentially rewiring to restore its original luster and ensure safety.
