This Authentic Mid-Century Modern Stiffel Tension Pole Lamp is a masterclass in 1960s engineering and brass elegance. Renowned for their "overbuilt" quality, Stiffel lamps are the gold standard for collectors, and this three-light model is a quintessential example of the era's sophisticated design.
The Details
Designer Pedigree: Features the original Stiffel maker’s mark and patent numbers on the brass casing, ensuring this is a genuine vintage piece, not a reproduction.
Premium Materials: Constructed from solid brass with a warm, aged patina that brings an immediate "Mad Men" aesthetic to any room.
Customizable Lighting: The 3-way switch allows you to toggle between soft ambient light and full-room illumination. Each of the three shades can be rotated to act as task lighting for reading or to highlight art on your walls.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The wiring is original and fully functional. While the brass shows a lovely historical patina, there are minor scrapes on the pole above the switch—characteristic of its authentic vintage journey.
Fit & Function
The spring-loaded tension mount makes this an ideal "no-drill" lighting solution. It stretches from floor to ceiling, providing a dramatic vertical element without taking up the floor space of a traditional tripod lamp.
Measurements & Specs
Height: Adjustable to fit standard ceiling heights.
Finish: Solid Brass.
Origin: Proudly made in the USA by the Stiffel Lamp Company.
