Striking mid-century Hollywood Regency lamp with cut crystal and ornate brass, casting a warm, moody glow perfect for gothic glam, romantic, and richly layered interiors. A substantial, statement-scale piece rarely found in this size, this condition, with original shade and working condition. Elevate your space with this stunning vintage Hollywood Regency table lamp, a beautifully constructed mid-century piece blending neoclassical design with glamorous crystal and brass detailing.

Substantial in both size and presence, this lamp stands approximately 38" tall with shade (34" to top of socket), making it an ideal statement piece for consoles, entryways, bedrooms, or layered interior lighting. Designed with a figure-balanced, architectural silhouette, the lamp features a heavy cut crystal body with classic starburst and vertical faceting, paired with an ornate, tiered brass base inspired by neoclassical forms. The result is a sculptural, refined piece that captures the drama and elegance of Hollywood Regency style. Topped with its original torchiere-style glass diffuser shade, the lamp casts a beautifully soft, upward glow-creating warm, ambient lighting that enhances mood and atmosphere. The shade is stamped National Home Lamp Council No. 955 with patent number 2,794,115, dating its design to the mid-century era (circa late 1950s-early 1960s). It features a fluted frosted upper with a prismatic textured lower, designed to diffuse and reflect light while adding visual depth. A distinctive feature is the base-mounted rotary turn switch, offering both convenience and authentic vintage character. The lamp retains its original gold-tone cord and "Academy Automatic Made in USA" plug, consistent with mid-century construction, along with a ceramic socket, indicative of quality materials of the period. Substantial in weight at approximately 15 lbs, this piece reflects solid construction and lends both stability and presence. The overall effect is richly atmospheric, casting a warm, diffused glow that works beautifully in gothic glam, dark academia, romantic, and softly styled interiors.
