Stissing Floor Lamp

In the early 20th century, American makers reimagined floor candlestands for the age of electricity, forging slender iron posts into balanced silhouettes that reflected an ethos of utility, durability, and a quiet reverence for material. Our version carries that lineage forward. Hand-forged by Wick’s Forge, a third-generation family blacksmith in Salem, New York, each lamp is shaped through hundreds of strikes and finished with a blend of linseed oil, beeswax, and olive oil that draws out subtle variations in tone and texture across its wrought planes. The cord falls freely from the harp, recalling early electrification before concealment was common, while an adjustable joint beneath the socket allows the shade to be leveled or shifted as needed. Simple yet assured, this lamp feels like a drawing in space, a piece that belongs as much to the past as to the present.  The lamp is sold with or without a shade, giving you the freedom to choose your own. We offer traditional paper shades made in Bedford Park, IL.
