About the Item

Handsome pair of Hollywood Regency Asian female and male figural lamps in the style of James Mont wearing black hard backed fabric tapered shades. They have a marking of Bodhisattva, Hilgos. They are in wonderful vintage condition. There have been restorations made to the plaster, but they are not noticeable unless closely examined. Please see photos. We will ship with or without the shades, circa mid-20th century. This pair of lamps will be the absolute pièce de résistance to any room where they are placed! Made in the marvelous mid-20th century Hollywood Regency style of James Mont they demand attention. The serene male and female Asian figures and their mounting bases are all of one piece and are comprised of molded and carved plaster with a faux wood finish. They are outfitted with a fitter style socket and white glass torchier globe. The black linen look, tapered lamp shades add just the right touch. They are the perfect pair for your bedside cabinets or to be featured on a lovely console. Note: These lamps are signed or marked on the back Bodhisattva, Hilgos. We have not determined exactly whether that is a name of the pieces and a signature or not. Bodhisattva is a term used in Himalayan style art to describe a peaceful god-like appearance based on the deities of classical Indian literature. It is also a Buddhist religious term meaning heroic aspirant to enlightenment. And, there is an artist, Hilda Goldblatt Gorenstein, who signed her work with an androgynous professional working name of Hilgos. But…we can find no mention of her working in this type of medium. So, whether these are pieces of sculpture by her or not remains a mystery.   We adore their tall stature and presence. You will too. Make them yours! Measures: Lamp • O/A height to top of shade 40 inches • Height to bottom of socket fitter 29 inches • Height to top of torchier globe 38 inches • O/A width with shade 18 inches • Width of base 9 inches • Depth of base 6.75 inches • Shade size 11.5 height x 18 diameter inches • Weight with shade 18.4 pounds each Boxed size with shades: • Height 57 inches • Width 32 inches • Depth 24 inches • Weight 58 pounds Boxed size without shades: • Height 45 inches • Width 15 inches • Depth 32 inches • Weight 55 pounds.

Pair Hollywood Regency Gilded Plaster Large Figural Lamps Boy w Jug Style Marbro
By The Marbro Lamp Company
Located in Topeka, KS
Fabulous pair of midcentury Hollywood Regency hand gilded gold plaster large scale figural lamps boy with drinking jug and original slightly tapered gold leafed or gilded drum shades in the style of Marbro Lamp Company. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. Both have been rewired with new cords and sockets. The base of one lamp has been patched, repaired, and re-gold leafed. The shades are a bit age worn with some creases, dents, & tears, but still look so fabulous on these lamps we had to leave them. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, midcentury. Just two young boys, probably best friends, or brothers, hanging out in the hot summer sun sipping on a jug of… (well, we can’t be EXACTLY sure what they’re sipping on, but we’re going with water!) Although, they are both missing one shoe so who knows? Ha-ha… Just kidding, these boys are well-behaved!! This is a fantastic pair of hand gilded plaster figural lamps of a boy drinking from a water jug in the style of Marbro. One lamp actually has “O. Art Co” carved into the base but throughout extensive research we were unable to find any information about them; however, we have seen identical lamps marked Marbro, though ours are not marked as such. Either way, they are FABULOUS!!! And as similar as they are, we have found a few slight differences and since we know they were made from a mold we think maybe they each had a different individual artist that gave them their finishing touches. If you look closely one boy has something coming from the spout of his jug and the other does not, the rocks or gravel on the ground of one base is a bit raised and the other is flatter, the drinking jug details differ, and the pant legs are slightly different. And those are just a few what we have found. And as fabulous as the lamps are, we also ADORE the original aged gold leaf slightly tapered drum shades!! They are slightly different in color as one has a bit darker hue and silver inner shade, and the other inner shade is gold. They definitely have an aged all over patina, both on the bodies of the lamps and the shades, which we think is what makes them even more wonderful! These lamps are hand gilded, and the boy alone stands at 24 inches, so they are definitely large scale! Almost like having a couple of actual toddlers around! But not really… these guys are much quieter and won’t be making a mess in whatever room you leave them! LOL! These incredible lamps certainly bear a whimsical aura, and they are ready to fill your home with joy, character, and an Ambience full of vintage Hollywood Regency awesome-ness! The Marbro Lamp Company was established in 1934, shortly after World War II by Morris Markoff and his brother Elliot in Los Angeles, California. They were one of the finest lamp producers during the mid-1900s and mainly sold in a handful of shops. Marbro lamps were one of a kind and some took up to ninety days to complete. They were occasionally made from sculptures customers would bring to the shop and others from vases and objects d’art from all over the world. They employed highly skilled wood turners and lamp shade makers. They would make occasional sculptures and decorative objects, but they were best known for their creative and high-quality table lamps. The Masco Corporation acquired Marbro Lamp Company in 1987 and their Los Angeles plant closed its doors in 1990. This perfectly imperfect pair of hand gilded figural boy lamps...
