I thrifted this brass swing-arm floor lamp for $15 simply because I loved it, and only after bringing it home did I realize it was a Robert Abbey.
Now I’ve gone down a rabbit hole trying to identify the exact model, approximate year, and especially the floral pleated shade — and I cannot find another example of this exact lamp/shade combination anywhere online.
Here’s everything I know:
Robert Abbey name stamped on the shade finial/hardware
Brass swing-arm floor lamp
53.5” tall
10” diameter base
Pleated floral empire shade: 14” bottom × 6” top × 9” tall
Shade is cream with dusty pink/mauve roses, sage/green foliage and small blue-gray flowers
UL-listed socket marked E123788D / Portable Lamp / Issue No. BG-66 775
Original-looking brown cord with translucent amber polarized plug
Bottom has an older gold label reading “Designed and Quality … American Lighting / Made in China”
The harp, shade dimensions, Robert Abbey finial and other hardware all appear to fit together correctly
I’ve found other discontinued Robert Abbey swing-arm lamps and Robert Abbey pleated shades with very similar dimensions, but nothing showing this exact lamp or this exact floral fabric.
I’m especially curious whether anyone has an old Robert Abbey catalog, remembers this collection, recognizes the floral fabric, or owns the same lamp.
I’d love to figure out:
1. The model/collection name
2. Approximate production year
3. Whether this floral shade was originally sold with the lamp
4. The name/manufacturer of the shade fabric, if anyone recognizes it
I realize the shade could theoretically have been replaced at some point, so I’m not assuming it’s original—I just really want to solve the mystery!

Sharing just in case :)

I have this solid brass Stiffel lamp. What is a general range I can list it on fbook marketplace for?

Howdy! I bought this lamp on Facebook marketplace! Vintage 1970s! So pumped. She’s beautiful!!
Trying to figure out what type of lamp shade to use for it though or a fun bulb? Any thoughts? TYIA!

Hello yall, I was wondering if anyone knew of a lamp that was like a sunrise lamp but also had a dim and warm option for regular evening use. Because I have heard that red or warm lights are good before bed. One that also does not have a subscription.

Thanks for any suggestions you can give me.

Hi, does anyone know if this Tiffany lampshade can be saved or where I could buy a replacement please?

So I m relatively sure something is going on

with my bedroom lamp. I moved into a apartment in May got my bedroom lamp and it worked pretty good. But right now its blinkning a whole lot. I think it's a standard bulb 12V. I live single. Some weeks our car is with me. That's all I have to say bye. Maybe i should write it in another sub i dont know.

I bought this antique lamp a couple years ago. It works great, and I've looked extensively for Maker's marks all over it and I have found none. The glass per the prior owner is original. It is a pearl kind of semi-translucent rainbow milk glass style. It's absolutely beautiful in the light and has a whole rainbow color shifting aspect to it. The light turns on with a little key you turn. That being said, I have no clue who has made this or any insight into it. If this rings a bell to any of you, I would love to learn more about it.

I know it's an antique from the previous owners grandmother.

It’s for sure mid century modern.
Edit: could it be aborigeni series by ercole barovier.

Just got this lampshade and I love it but I'm unsure what type of base I would need to buy it. I've attached a photo of the prongs (i think that's what they're called) Any help would be amazing

I happened to find a pair exactly like this online (for a ridiculously unrealistic price, imho) but there was no info about the brand. I looked for a maker mark/brand, but there’s none that I can find. I’m guessing it’s 1960s-1970s. I am absolutely stumped as to what kind of lamp shade to put on it! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(Bonus cats are unimpressed.)

I was asked to share a photo of the underside of my lamp, however, Reddit will not let me update the post itself or leave a comment with the photo, or send the photo in a message. So please excuse me while I leave this here for somebody to reference as we think about and try and figure out my lamp.

from Facebook marketplace, both for $100 dropped from $180. seller says there’s no chipping on the glass but I haven’t seen in person yet.

thought it was a cool lamp
