A vintage Mads Caprani "Timberline" lamp, Designed in 1971, possibly made in the late 1970s
We have an original Mads Caprani (the 1970s Danish designer) floor lamp with the original pleated canvas lampshade. Being an original Caprani, it also has a unique detail on this lamp, which is the switch placement on the bulb socket rather than the foot pedal switch found in later models, suggesting it's from an early production run, likely late 1970s. The wiring appears original and in good working order, and the lamp has been well cared for and in wonderful condition.
Height: ~58 to 60 inches Base width (crescent cast iron): ~12 inches

While it can retail on such platforms as Chairish and 1stDibs for between $3,000-5,000, at auction it brings a little less, usually $1,000-1,500, though its important to note that those prices are obtained with much lower estimates: $500-700 or $600-900.
