About the Item
A striking hand-blown Murano glass table lamp made by Seguso for The Marbro Lamp Company, dating to the 1960s. The richly colored body exhibits a distinctive baluster form with vertical ribbing in brilliant emerald green glass that fades into a bronze mount at the center, producing a luminous optical effect. The blown glass body is elegantly capped by a mushroom-form glass collar and supported on a squared bronze base with a squared plinth and applied laurel-motif ring. A gilt ring above the shoulder visually links the design. The lamp retains its original twin-socket cluster and pull chains, indicative of Marbro production.
This model reflects Marbro’s tradition of marrying Italian artisanal glassmaking—likely from the Seguso Vetri d’Arte workshop on the island of Murano—with American Hollywood Regency and Mid-Century Modern aesthetics. The ribbed glass technique, known as costolato, and the precision in the blown form are hallmarks of Venetian craftsmanship. Cluster with Marbro lamp company label, as typical for Seguso-Marbro collaborations, but consistent with documented examples.

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.
