Condition
Good. The base shows visible dust, fingerprints, and minor oxidation/surface scuffs consistent with age. No deep dents are visible in the photo.
Demand Level
Moderate. While brass lamps are currently trending in 'Grandmillennial' decor, Alsy is a mid-market brand rather than a high-end designer like Stiffel.

Description
This vintage Alsy table lamp features a classic Hollywood Regency style with a weighted polished brass flared base and a fluted, architectural column. The original Alsy brand sticker is intact on the base. It utilizes a standard gold-tone cord and would pair beautifully with a pleated or empire-style shade (not included).
Key Features
Identifiable 'Alsy' branding sticker, popular fluted/ribbed column design, Hollywood Regency or Postmodern aesthetic, heavy weighted base for stability.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence due to the original black and gold 'alsy' oval branding sticker and period-correct electrical wiring component housing.
Flaws to Note
Surface scuffing and oxidation spots on the brass finish. Missing lamp shade and potentially the harp/finial. Needs deep cleaning.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid high shipping costs; Etsy or eBay for vintage decor enthusiasts if shipping is manageable.
Selling Tips
Use a brass cleaner or mild soap to remove the tarnish and fingerprints before photography. Listing should include 'Hollywood Regency,' 'Vintage Brass,' and 'Postmodern' as keywords. Since it lacks a shade, suggest a specific shade type in the description to help the buyer visualize it.
