Brass And Lampshade For Sale on 1stDibs
Find many varieties of an authentic brass and lampshade available at 1stDibs. A brass and lampshade — often made from metal, brass and fabric — can elevate any home. If you’re shopping for a brass and lampshade, we have 196 options in-stock, while there are 27 modern editions to choose from as well. There are many kinds of the brass and lampshade you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. A brass and lampshade made by Mid-Century Modern designers — as well as those associated with Modern — is very popular. Bernard Rooke, Sigma L2 and J.T. Kalmar each produced at least one beautiful brass and lampshade that is worth considering.
How Much is a Brass And Lampshade?
Prices for a brass and lampshade can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $300 and can go as high as $11,345, while the average can fetch as much as $2,825.
Finding the Right Lighting for You
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About Brass And Lampshade
- What is the rule for lampshades?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024There are actually two main rules for lampshades. First, the diameter of the shade's top should be as wide as the base of your lamp but no larger than twice its width. For example, if your lamp base measures 8 inches in diameter, its shade should measure 8 to 16 inches across the top. The second rule is that the height of the shade should be two-thirds of the overall height of the base or smaller. If your lamp is 18 inches tall, you would want a shade that is no more than 12 inches high. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of lamps.
- Can glass lampshades be painted?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, a glass lampshade can be painted. It’s best to use a paint that’s designed to be applied to glass and to use the instructions that are provided with that paint to get the best results. Shop a range of antique and modern glass lampshades on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024The main parts of a lampshade are the frame, the lining, the outer, the finial and the fitter. Usually made out of metal, the frame is the inner structure of the lampshade that defines its shape. The lining is an inner layer of fabric that helps to diffuse and filter light, while the outer is the fabric or other material on the outside that you can see. Located at the top, the finial is the decorative piece that extends above the shade and remains visible once the accessory is in position. The fitter is the metal piece that attaches to the bulb or lamp to hold the shade in place. Shop a wide variety of lampshades on 1stDibs.
- Do all lampshades fit all lamps?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, not all lampshades fit all lamps. There are many different varieties of both lampshades and lamps, and it is important to make sure you pair them properly. For a selection of vintage and contemporary lampshades, lamps and other lighting fixtures, browse 1stDIbs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Yes, it is safe to paint a glass lampshade as long as you are using glass-specific paint. One thing to note: If your lampshade is translucent (versus opaque), the paint color will look slightly different when you turn the lamp on.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024The part that holds the lampshade is called a fitter. Easy to identify by its three legs, the spider fitter is the most common type and works by fitting over a U-shaped wire on the top of a lamp called a harp. Shades for lamps that lack harps will have other types of fitters. Circular UNO fitters hug the lamp socket with a pressure fitting, while euro fitters screw onto the lamp socket. Clip-on fittings consist of two U-shaped wires that hug a lamp's light bulb. Shop a diverse assortment of lamps and lampshades on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The lampshade that gives the most light is said to be bell shades. However, the luminance from a lampshade also depends on the room size, shape and purpose of the shade. Traditionally, white shades light up the entire room, whereas dark ones are used for making a vivid picture and are also preferred. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique and vintage lampshades.
- What is a brass scale?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A brass scale is the one used in ancient times when bartering or trading various precious metal currencies. They are now frequently used as decorative objects for display in any home. This regal-looking collectible adds a touch of royalty to any mantel or console table. Find a variety of antique and vintage brass scales on 1stDibs.
- What is brass sextant?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A sextant is a nautical tool made from brass, used by sailors to measure the angle of the stars above the horizon to help calculate their ship’s global position. A sextant includes an index mirror, sun filters, a horizon mirror, an adjustable arc and a 2x magnifying scope. You’ll find a variety of sextants from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a brass sextant?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A brass sextant is a generally popular collectible for display on bookcases or mantels at home, and those created in Victorian, Industrial, and mid-century modern styles are sought with frequency. It is a traditional nautical instrument that was first used by sailors over 200 years ago to calculate global position by measuring the position of stars above the horizon. They are often made from brass, metal and wood. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary brass sextants from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- What is a brass footman?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A brass footman is a stand that would be used to hold dishes in front of a fire, allowing them to stay warm before a meal was served on them. This antique piece of furniture was commonly made of brass, but some were crafted from other metals, such as steel. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic vintage brass footman pieces.
- What is a brass jardinière?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A brass jardinière is a planter crafted from brass. It is typically cylindrical in shape, and may feature side handles to make it easier to move, or feet to give it elevated style. It may also feature intricate designs. On 1stDibs, find an array of brass jardinières.
- Is antique brass strong?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, antique brass is strong because it is made with zinc and copper. Brass is considered a strong and durable metal crafted to be long-lasting and withstand rust and corrosion. Shop a selection of antique and vintage brass items on 1stDibs.
- Do brass beds tarnish?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, a brass bed will tarnish unless it is properly cared for and lacquered. To prevent tarnishing, you can use linseed oil with a soft terry towel. On 1stDibs, you can find antique brass beds from top sellers around the world.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To shine brass candlesticks, first determine whether they’re lacquered or brass-plated. If so, shine them with a soft cloth. If not, use a high quality brass polish according to directions — wash the brass in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. You'll find a variety of solid brass candlesticks from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021Brass andirons are not only beautiful to look at, but they keep logs from rolling out of the fireplace. They serve as a gate to keep the logs in place.
- What is solid brass worth?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The value of brass varies in price depending on the type. Red brass is usually more valuable than yellow brass, with red brass usually selling for approximately $1.75 / pound and yellow brass selling for around $1.55 / pound.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022You can tell if brass is treated to appear antique by looking at the patina. Because real aged brass is often made of copper, the older it gets the more likely it is to have a greenish or bluish patina that you’d expect from copper. Modern brass that’s designed to look antique will have a brownish hue, not a blue-green one. Shop a collection of antique brass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To refurbish brass candlesticks, start by removing any wax. Then, combine one tablespoon of salt with a half cup of white vinegar and mix in white flour to create a paste. Use a soft cloth to cover the entire candlestick with the substance. Let it rest for 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water and drying with a soft cloth. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique and vintage brass candlesticks.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Most antique brass items are solid brass. A great way of identifying solid brass antiques is by using a magnet. If you feel a pull, then the item is brass plated and not solid brass. Additionally, few brass antiques display stamps or maker's marks to depict the place and year of manufacturing. Find antique and vintage brass furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
