Description
Art Deco Tiered Torchière Floor Lamp – Machine Age Style of Walter Von Nessen
This striking Art Deco tiered torchière floor lamp exemplifies Machine Age design with a distinctive uplighter form reminiscent of Walter Von Nessen's streamlined modernism. Featuring three spun aluminum stepped shades, the lamp’s bold silhouette and industrial aesthetic reflect the technological optimism of the 1930s. The shades are expertly graduated in size and float atop a ribbed chrome-plated shaft that extends to a weighted circular base, ensuring stability while enhancing the vertical elegance of the piece.

An iconic example of American Modernist lighting, this lamp seamlessly blends decorative Art Deco flair with functional industrial design. The original inline switch, knurled detailing, and polished metal surfaces are all intact and in good vintage condition. This uplight floor lamp casts an ambient glow perfect for accentuating interiors with a touch of classic Deco drama—ideal for collectors, designers, or anyone building a Machine Age-inspired room.
