Vintage French Provincial Style 3-Arm Candelabra Table Lamp with Red Accents
Unbranded (Likely Rembrant, Stiffel, or Leviton Manufacturing Parts) · Art & Decor > Lighting
Era / Decade
1960s-1970s; identified by the brown electrical cord, stylized scrollwork, and French Provincial revival aesthetic popular in mid-century American homes.
Material
Cast metal base and neck with an antiqued brass finish, turned wood-effect central column (likely fruitwood or stained maple) with painted red rings. Plastic candle sleeves.
Condition
Good; the structural integrity is intact but there is visible tarnishing on the brass base, dust buildup, and some minor scuffs on the wood. The shades show aging and may require replacement due to discoloration.
Demand Level
Moderate; the 'Grandmillennial' and 'Maximalist' decor trends have revived interest in traditional brass and wood lighting, but traditional furniture can be slow to move.

Key Features
Matching pair (highly desirable), unique triple-light candelabra design, heavy quality weight, and distinctive red painted accents that appeal to specific decor niches.

Flaws to Note
Aged wiring should be inspected for safety; significant patina on the brass base; the shades have red velvet trim that may be fraying or faded; one candle sleeve appears slightly crooked.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Etsy (for vintage appeal). Local pickup is preferred due to the size and fragility of shades, which makes shipping expensive and risky.
Selling Tips
Sell as a pair to double the value. Use keywords like 'French Provincial', 'Candelabra Lamp', 'Hollywood Regency', and 'Mid Century Traditional'. Clean the metal with a gentle brass cleaner and photograph them lit to show functionality.
