Vintage French Provincial Hollywood Regency Brass & Glass Candlestick Table Lamps, Pair
Unbranded (Likely Leviton or Stiffel style) · Art & Decor > Lighting
Era / Decade
1960s-1970s; identified by the ornate rococo casting, glass prism collars, and the Leviiton-style sockets common in mid-century lighting.
Material
Cast metal (likely spelter or pot metal with a brass/bronze wash) and pressed glass or crystal geometric accents. Plastic electrical cord.
Condition
Good (Vintage Condition). The finish shows significant tarnishing and patina. They are missing shades and the upper harp attachments. Electrical functionality is untested and one cord appears brittle.
Demand Level
Moderate. Maximalism and vintage lighting are currently popular on social media, but shipping large lamps can be a deterrent for some buyers.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$60.00 - $125.00 for the pair depending on platform and cleaning.
Estimated Retail Value
$150.00 - $250.00 (comparable high-end vintage style pairs today)
Comparable Sales
Similar pairs of unbranded Regency lamps typically sell for $75-$100 on eBay. Higher-end brands like Stiffel can fetch $200+, but these lack the weight and markings of that tier.
Description
A stunning pair of vintage Hollywood Regency style table lamps featuring ornate, scrolling cast metal bases and central faceted glass prism accents. These tall, candlestick-style lamps embody the French Provincial aesthetic with a weathered brass finish. Perfect for bedside tables or a mantle display. Sold as a matching pair.
Key Features
Matching pair of lamps; highly desirable Hollywood Regency aesthetic; ornate casting details; classic glass prism accent that catches light well.
Authenticity Indicators
Construction matches post-war lighting trends; lack of maker's mark is common for this era of mass-produced decorative lighting. High confidence in vintage status.
Flaws to Note
Heavy tarnishing/oxidation on metal; missing harps and shades; original wiring may need replacement for safety; dust in crevices.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local sale (no shipping risk), or Etsy/eBay for a national audience looking for MCM/Regency decor.
Selling Tips
Clean with a soft brush to remove dust but do not polish off the patina, as many vintage buyers prefer the 'aged' look. Use keywords like 'Hollywood Regency', 'French Provincial', 'Ornate', and 'Shabby Chic'. State clearly that harps/shades are not included.
