Vintage Mounted Sculptural Male Torso Lamp by Yasha Heifetz , Circa 1950s. Swooping lines carved into oak illustrating the form of the male torso.

Mounted on rectangular wood base. Signed Heifetz on the lower rear of the base.

“The Heifetz Manufacturing Company of New York started in 1938. Their primary product was table lamps, but they also made ashtrays, wood and metal sculptural items and some furniture. Over the twenty-five years that Heifetz was in business, he estimated that the company produced approximately 4,000 pieces and that he designed about half of them, the most popular of which had abstract bases made of ceramic, wood or metal. Some depicted the stylized human form, while others depicted animals or were kidney and melon-shaped.” - modernmag.com

Condition: Great vintage condition. One area of loss towards the top of the sculpture, as photographed, does not detract from the overall look of the piece. We restored this lamp in-house, pairing the piece with a new brass rod and optional shade.
