Feldman Lighting Co.
The light that emanates from Feldman Lighting Company’s decorative chandeliers, pendants and sconces — encased in sculpted bronze and copper and frequently featuring motifs drawn from the natural world — embodies the brutalist movement of the mid-20th century.
The Los Angeles firm’s best known fixtures were produced in various styles from the late 1940s until the 1980s, and its most notable designer, Tom Greene was a graduate of UCLA’s dental school and originally worked as a dental prosthetist.
Beginning in the 1950s, when he wasn't at work in his dental lab, Greene would craft small jewelry pieces utilizing techniques that were typically reserved for making dental crowns and other prosthetics. Unsatisfied with jewelry as a medium, Greene stepped it up and began crafting free-form sculptures from brass and bronze, using an oxyacetylene torch to cut and heat the metal, and hammering it into shape with artisan tools (a torch-cut lamp of Greene’s appeared on Star Trek during the 1960s). He also worked with the ancient technique of lost-wax casting, which sees metal objects and furnishings cast from wax models.
Greene began producing fixtures for Lightolier and Feldman Lighting in the 1970s after seeing much success selling his pieces through Los Angeles furniture retailer and manufacturer Monteverdi-Young. Greene made numerous custom pieces for Feldman to adorn the Hollywood Regency-themed interiors of its Beverly Hills clientele.
The Feldman Lighting company folded by the mid-1980s and its vintage fixtures are highly valued by interior designers and collectors today.

Pair of Hollywood Regency Tall Brass Lotus Lamps by Feldman Lighting circa 1960s
By Feldman Lighting Co.
Located in Saint Louis, MO
Just ask Jennifer Lopez how much she loves her pair of majestic, organic and inspiring tall lotus flower brass lamps famously made by the Feldman Lighting Company beginning in the 1950s. These lamps are show stopper attention seekers. A delicate organic lotus flower silhouette made of glowing brass. As if born from light - each layer representing a season of life - rings of lotus flower petals bloom in size. A symbol of strength and beauty, Lotus flowers can grow in even the harshest conditions and still bloom. Brass petals are embossed with small lines softening the brass and adding more organic detail. They are also malleable and can be gently bent to your pleasure. Black lacquered wood base highlights and anchors the brass elements. Professionally polished bringing back its original glamorous glow and clear coat lacquered to retain it. Works beautifully in any setting from chinoiserie to Hollywood Regency to Contemporary and Eclectic. This tall lotus lamp is rare and sought after by collectors and fans of the Feldman Lighting Lotus Flower Line. Featured in Architectural Digest (last photo). Single lamp also available.
