Monumental 1960s Floor Lamp - Clover Lamp. Co.

If you wish to make a statement in lighting your abode, this lamp is it.

Standing over five tall (65" to be exact), the lamp features a flat piece of thick steel that gracefully arcs upward from the base.  The intended design effect is that shade appears to almost float above the base


The base in steel over a large cast iron weighting plate.  The lamp is signed "Clover Lamp Company" in three different places on the underside of the base, with the (assumed) product number of H-11-13.

Clover Lamp Company designed high quality commerical and residential lamps in the 1960s and 70s and are known for their unusual and Italian-inspired design.  Many of their designs take after similar work in Italian lighting firms such Reggiani and Arteluce.

The lamp is in excellent condition and works well.  The lamp was acquired with the shade shown, which may or may not be original to the lamp.

SOLD.  Thanks, Bob @ Highland Park!
