Early Marbro Urn Lamps with Green Painted Roman Ruins - a Pair

About the Item

This early pair of Marbro urn table lamps feature beautiful Roman ruins, trees, plants and grasses. The urns are most likely Italian. They retain their original mogul base sockets (E39 lamp base) and electrical cord. Both have been inspected and are in good working order. The glazing has natural imperfections which happens during the firing process. These imperfections are not defects and are considered to be a part of the overall beauty of the lamps. Please see photos showing variances and imperfections. Measurements: 10-3/4"diameter at bulb, 6-3/4" width at porcelain base, 8" width lion paw foot to foot x 36" overall height. The Marbro Lamp Company began by Morris Markoff and his brother soon after the end of World War II. They were most well-known for their lamps, however, and it is their lamp products that continue to make an impact today. The Markoff brothers scoured the globe for gorgeous lamp parts to create their products---they found alabaster and glass bases in Italy, porcelain bases in Japan and China, brass parts in India and crystal bases in France and Germany. Lamps were also made from sculptures and other items that customers brought to the workshop.
