Another option to introduce a sophisticated feel is to go for a Stiffel table lamp whose base is designed to look like a Greek or Roman column.

One of the most popular questions we hear about this company’s products is: ‘are stiffel lamps solid brass?’ And, while it’s not a given, they certainly can be.

In fact, we recommend looking for a Stiffel brass lamp if you’re hoping to introduce some color or mirror other elements in the same finish to ensure a cohesive feel.

While you’ve probably seen a few empire or drum shades, we bet you haven’t seen many antique Stiffel lamps relying on an hourglass shape!

If you were looking for a feature that could help you make a statement, this rarer design is certainly a great candidate.

This design is guaranteed to become the most eye-catching element in your room. While not the most common, you can find a few antique Stiffel lamps relying on double or triple cylinder bases.

This majestic design almost resembles traditional candle holders, adding an elegant touch to a nostalgic element.

Will your Stiffel lamp join an eclectic collection of items across different styles but that all look as if they were one of a kind, much like in Hollywood regency rooms?

Then don’t settle for anything less than the Stiffel table lamp with the most decorative base.

Another example of triple cylindric bases: some antique Stiffel lamps take this one step further by delighting us with designs that look just like actual candles.

We especially recommend them to anyone who loves combining different styles or is drawn to balanced mixtures like transitional interiors.

Striving for a cozy feel and worried that those metallic finishes will work against it? Not a problem: there are a few antique Stiffel lamps that can help you reinforce a warm palette or cozy ambiance.

For example, look beyond the most common white shades, and consider a metal base made to look like wood.

Perfect For: Enhancing the ambiance in any room

What We Like: Sleek design and 3-way switch functionality

This exquisite table lamp features a silk shade and a polished brass finish on its metal base, resulting in a timeless elegance that complements any interior style.

Perfect For: Contemporary living rooms or office spaces

What We Like: Chic design and versatile storage

Its slim, metal frame ensures stability without adding bulk, making it suitable for compact spaces.

If you’ve fallen in love with this company but keep seeing ornate vintage Stiffel lamps that would look out of place with the rest of your contemporary interiors, brighten up! There are also some simpler models with cleaner lines that would fit your more streamlined style divinely.

The trick is to look for drum shades and/or monochrome bases with more symmetrical shapes.

A smart way of blending tradition and creativity is to pick an antique Stiffel lamp that includes some recognizable elements (such as an empire shade) but also a different feature that feels unique to you, like a one-of-a-kind base. 

If you want to shout to the world that you have an antique Stiffel lamp but aren’t a fan of extremely ornate models, relax: these bad boys are immediately recognizable by sophisticated collectors like you and your usual guests even when they rely on simpler designs.

After all, the lack of switches is already a big giveaway! 

If you’re so committed to antique Stiffel lamps that price is not a concern, then you’re even more spoiled with choices.

The vintage Stiffel lamp catalog includes a few rarer or more sought-after pieces that can be the right investment for your decor.

What We Like: The weathered finish with walnut accents

Daphne is an elegant oversized buffet lamp that features a weathered white wash finish, beautifully revealing warm walnut accents. This versatile lamp can seamlessly blend with any décor style, whether standing alone or paired with other accessories. The softback shade complements the 100-watt lamp, creating a cozy atmosphere in your living room, dining room, or bedroom. Please note that the bulb is not included.

When you think of Stiffel lamps, the chances are that you’re picturing a design with an empire shade. After all, they’re some of the most popular models, and definitely one you can’t go wrong with.

Far from being boring, sticking to a classic empire shade will still allow you to add your own decorative touch by focusing on a more or less ornate base, as well as considering different finishes.

Even though the shade will end up being the brightest part, the base of your antique Stiffel lamp can become the most attention-grabbing element.

This doesn’t mean that it must be over-the-top or extremely elaborate (although that would work really well in period-inspired interiors): it can still make a conscious statement through a recognizable feature, just like this twisted design.

While other finishes can certainly make it easier for your lamp to become a strong accent or stand out, gray Stiffel lamps are actually one of the most versatile choices, especially if this color is already part of your room’s palette. 

The most contemporary Stiffel lamps can easily be placed in minimalist interiors, too.

However, to further reinforce your chosen style, there’s another trick that you can use: try scouting for monochrome designs where the finish of the base mirrors that of the Stiffel lamp shade.
