Other versions: This Stilux bulb table lamp was probably made in several sizes and colours. Several variations were designed with this type of glass base.

This table lamp has 3 light bulbs. Two E14 bulbs in the base, one E27 in the globe. They can switched on separately, as you can see.

These and other similar lamps from Stilux are often wrongly attributed to AV Mazzega. But sometimes you find this lamp with a Stilux label.

Stilux lamps all had names, which were on a cardboard card that was attached to the lamp. Most of them have disappeared, of course. Sometimes you see one, for example with a NOS lamp: a lamp from an old stock of a store.

For example, a lamp with the same base as this one has the name “Africa“. Unfortunately, I do not know the name of this lamp (yet). Do you know? Please let us know.

Little info can be found about the Stilux lighting company, unfortunately. The Stilux company no longer exists. It was active from the 50s until at least the 70s.

A Stilux company in Milan exists, but it’s got nothing to do with lighting: “Stilux is a company that deals with professional printing and paper converting solutions for communication”.

There was also a Sti-lux company that made lamps in the 1990s, but that firm also no longer exists.
