About the Item

With a magic wand, we couldn't create a more perfect drum shade to compliment this lamp. Similar in style to the works of Warren Platner, architectural spires of metal wire reach upward to shape an obelisk cone. From its neck, more spires kaleidoscope outward to form a small cage that hugs the drum shade in place. The white shade diffuses nicely with an ambient amber glow. Excellent overall vintage condition. Light socket and chain-pull function properly. Drum shade has no damage. Fresh application of matte black paint and clear-coat on wire frame.

1970s Lightolier Brass Waterfall Cage Lamp with New White Glass Diffusers
By Tommi Parzinger, Lightolier
Located in Chattanooga, TN
This ethereal floor lamp, attributed to Lightolier and rooted in the extravagant design ethos of the 1970s, stands as a mesmerizing blend of sculptural art and functional lighting. Towering at an impressive 60.75 inches tall with a 21-inch diameter base, its form resembles a gilded birdcage grotto from which slender brass spires cascade downward like an abstract waterfall. Suspended along these arcs are alabaster-white, ovoid glass diffusers that glow like suspended raindrops, each one part of a harmonious column of illumination. When lit, the lamp transforms—warm amber light reflects off its golden surfaces, casting a dreamy, immersive radiance that balances theatrical presence with serene luminosity. As a functional object, it’s as impressive in daylight as it is at night, acting as a focal point in any elevated interior. Meticulously restored, the lamp features newly fabricated glass shades—faithfully molded from the original—offering enhanced durability while preserving its vintage aesthetics. The brass spines show delicate patina and occasional oxidation, which contributes to the lamp’s authenticity without compromising its visual impact. ALL OF THESE GLASS SHADES ARE NEW! FMV collaborated with a phenomenal glass fabrication studio to reproduce from a mold, cast from an original shade. The final product looks exactly like the original, except the glass on our is a bit thicker (and stronger). Ethereal, majestic, brass waterfall floor lamp...
