About the Item
A large box shade announces the drama of this original factory lamp by Marbro. It is a monumental Marbro enamel glazed ceramic lamp from the Los Angeles factory circa the 1960s. The mix of austere color in charcoal and rust imparts an industrial chic to the lamp. The lamp shade is not original.
Of cylindrical section, the Asian style swelled baluster body with tall banded neck and pierced foliate medallions, on a circular lobed foot. With a mottled red/green glaze overall. Marked with factory foil tag. Surmounted by a fabric box shade.
The History:
Marbro manufactured some of the finest lamps during the mid century modern -- Hollywood Regency period. The designs are enduring. Lamps produced by Marbro included Murano glass, hand painted pieces, crystal, hand-carved wood, lamps with marble bases and other finer elements like porcelains from Europe and Japan. The factory closed in 1990.
Dimensions:
The lamp is 40 inches overall height.
It rests on a gilt base that measures 7 inches wide and deep.

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.
