Pair of Model 163 Floor Lamps by Eskilstuna Elektrofabriks Aktiebolag – Sweden, late 1950s

A rare and beautiful matching pair of Swedish Mid-Century floor lamps — Model 163 by Eskilstuna Elektrofabriks Aktiebolag, from the late 1950s. Three elongated ebonised wooden spindles connected by polished brass collars, rising from a gloss black base with brass trim ring. The uppermost section transitions into a slender brass rod terminating in an E27 fitting. Without shades, the pair has a striking sculptural quality — like a pair of tall, elegant figures standing side by side. With shades the look is complete. Pure Scandinavian elegance.

Eskilstuna Elektrofabriks Aktiebolag (EAE) was founded in Eskilstuna, a city in central Sweden long associated with fine metalworking and manufacturing. The company produced a wide range of electrical equipment and lighting fixtures from the mid-20th century, and their lamps are characterised by the high quality of materials and craftsmanship typical of Swedish industrial production of the era.

Both lamps are in good vintage condition with minor scuff marks to the paintwork and light pitting and scratching on the bases, consistent with their age. Both have been rewired and take an E27 bulb. Lamp shades are not included.
