About the Item
1950's Hollywood Regency Gilt Metal Wheatsheaf Floor Lamp by Marbro Lamp Co., USA.
A sculptural and iconic gilt metal floor lamp in the form of a bundled sheaf of wheat, attributed to the Marbro Lamp Company, mid-20th century. This stylized bundle rises from a splayed base and is tied at the waist with a twisted metal "rope," sprouting upward in a radiant bouquet of hand-forged leaves and ears of wheat. The composition is richly textured and warmly patinated with a timeworn gold leaf finish that enhances its vintage appeal. Topped with a two-light cluster and a classic conical shade.
This piece is a striking example of Hollywood Regency style and brings warmth and organic drama to any room. Unmarked, as is common with many Marbro pieces. Such lamps are rare as the Marbro Lamp Co. ceased production in 1990.
Dimensions:
57 in. high x 20 in. diameter
Condition:
Good vintage condition; surface wear and distressing consistent with age and use. NOTE: If the buyer would like, this lamp will be professionally rewired by The Lamp Company, Summit, NJ at the sellers expense and prior to shipping.

Property from LuShan Farm, Chester, NJ, an historic estate with notable provenance. The estate was established in the early 1930s by Lila Hotz Luce Tyng following her marriage to Henry Robinson Luce, the founder of the Time magazine empire, in 1923. Although the couple divorced in 1935, Lila retained ownership of the property. The estate is renowned for its meticulously designed interiors and curated collection of furnishings and decorative arts.

The Marbro Lamp Company
The Marbro Lamp Company was one of the finest lamp producers during the mid-1900s. Its pieces were mainly sold in a handful of exclusive furniture shops. Marbro was the go-to supplier of Hollywood Regency and mid-century modern style lighting for interior designers. Its table lamps, chandeliers, floor lamps and wall sconces have graced the homes of many celebrities.
Brothers Morris and Elliott Markoff founded the Marbro Lamp Company in 1934. Its name is a combination of “Markoff” and “brothers.” The brothers relocated from Chicago to southern California after the end of World War II and set up an assembly plant in the garment district of Los Angeles.
Vases and objets d’art, sourced from all over the world, were used as lamp bases. The brass bases came from India, alabaster from Italy, porcelain from Japan and China and crystal from Germany and France. Murano glass and whimsical bronze figurines were two of the more popular base materials.
Marbro lamps were one-of-a-kind and took between 75 and 90 days to complete. Occasionally, they were made from sculptures that customers brought into the factory. Highly skilled woodturners and shade-makers crafted lampshades and wooden bases in Marbro’s shop. Some metal and glass pieces went through paint or staining treatments. The company’s best-known products were these table lamps, but it also produced a wide variety of decorative objects.
The Masco Corporation acquired the Marbro Lamp Company in 1987. Its Los Angeles assembly plant shuttered its doors in 1990. Its equipment and remaining inventory were moved to LaBarge Mirrors — a Masco subsidiary — in Michigan. Shortly after, the production of Marbro lamps ended.
