to it origins. Lamps produced by Marbro were
not just run of the mill lamps that you could
find in chain run furniture, or discount
stores. Almost all of their lamps were built
to order for renown designers, high end
retailers, movie stars and other rich and
famous celebrities. Even presidents were
customers of Marbro! Lamps would began with a
piece of art from world wide artisans.
Some pieces were antique others were more
period. In the case of this lamp, it
began with a finely detailed bronze vase form
from Europe. In the hands of the Marbro
craftsmen it took on its distinctive style,
with the finished arched base and brass post,
top cap, double light socket. Yes it is one of
a kind and the fact that original bronze vase
was hand made, ensures that no two vases were
identical. This lamp is all original and in
very nice vintage condition.. It retains most
of its "Old World Craftsmanship, New World
Style Marbro, foil label, although the label
is faded and tattered on the edges. It also
has the Marbro embossed mark on the bottom of
the base. It is majestic with its 35-1/2"
overall height. 23" tall from the base to the
top of the bronze body. Quite substantial
weighing in at 16 lbs. It is in good working
condition. No breaks or cracks or repairs.
Original patina. Shade shown is not included
and was only shown to give an idea of the
overall display beauty of the lamp. It
is missing a finial. A beautiful unique and
high quality lamp to add to your decor. Bronze
lamps by Marbro are a very illusive and sought
after by anyone who are familiar with the
company's history. |
