Description: Liberace Owned Pair of Italian Rococo Candelabra Lampsfrom 1988 Butterfield & Christie's Auction These impressive Liberace owned candelabra lamps have a combined total of 14 bulbs, and look amazing when lit. They are documented in the 1988 Butterfield & Christie's auction catalog, under the section titled "The Hollywood Penthouse Terrace," lot 559C, page 67. The candelabra lamps were part of Liberace's possessions that were sold at a four day auction, held by Butterfield & Christie's from April 9-12, 1988 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Later, on June 27, 1995 (when the original buyer moved), they were re-sold by the same Butterfield auction house for a higher price. The lot number was 1078. They are documented in their catalog on page 124. Liberace had these lamps at his penthouse - at his roof top pool area. He had a penthouse at a five-story building he owned at 7461 Beverly Boulevard in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles. (See photo of his building, which was designed in 1958.) His penthouse was shown in the movie starring Michael Douglas called "Behind the Candelabra." The distinctive looking ivory colored candelabra lamps were made in Italy, and have a small metal band on each lamp that says Italy. They are 32 inches tall, and 14 inches wide. They are in the form of a central and six scrolling foliate candle arms, raised on three scrolled feet. They are electrified and have the original wiring. There are one or two bulbs that sometimes blink on and off, but still the lamps are in good overall condition for being about 40 years old. As I noted, both lamps have the original wiring and the new buyer could have them rewired if desired. One of the candle sleeves is missing but can easily be replaced. Have seen them on Ebay. The two lamps will be very carefully packed, each in a separate box. The exact shipping cost will be determined by the location of the buyer.The shipping for each box will be about $100.00, but I will have to check with the post office and UPS for the exact amount. The lamps can be picked up in person or shipped. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions. See my other Ebay listings.
