Finding the Right Table Lamps for You
Well-crafted antique and vintage table lamps do more than provide light; the right fixture-and-table combination can add a focal point or creative element to any interior.
Proper table lamps have long been used for lighting our most intimate spaces. Perfect for lighting your nightstand or reading nook, table lamps play an integral role in styling an inviting room. In the years before electricity, lamps used oil. Today, a rewired 19th-century vintage lamp can still provide a touch of elegance for a study.
After industrial milestones such as mass production took hold in the Victorian era, various design movements sought to bring craftsmanship and innovation back to this indispensable household item. Lighting designers affiliated with Art Deco, which originated in the glamorous roaring ’20s, sought to celebrate modern life by fusing modern metals with dark woods and dazzling colors in the fixtures of the era. The geometric shapes and gilded details of vintage Art Deco table lamps provide an air of luxury and sophistication that never goes out of style.
After launching in 1934, Anglepoise lamps soon became a favorite among modernist architects and designers, who interpreted the fixture as “a machine for lighting,” just as Le Corbusier had reimagined the house as “a machine for living in.” The popular task light owed to a collaboration between a vehicle-suspension engineer by the name of George Carwardine and a West Midlands springs manufacturer, Herbert Terry Sons.
Some mid-century modern table lamps, particularly those created by the likes of Joe Colombo and the legendary lighting artisans at Fontana Arte, bear all the provocative hallmarks associated with Space Age design. Sculptural and versatile, the Louis Poulsen table lamps of that period were revolutionary for their time and still seem innovative today.
If you are looking for something more contemporary, industrial table lamps are demonstrative of a newly chic style that isn’t afraid to pay homage to the past. They look particularly at home in any rustic loft space amid exposed brick and steel beams.
Before you buy a desk lamp or table lamp for your living room, consider your lighting needs. The Snoopy lamp, designed in 1967, or any other “banker’s lamp” (shorthand for the Emeralite desk lamps patented by H.G. McFaddin and Company), provides light at a downward angle that is perfect for writing, while the Fontana table lamp and the beloved Grasshopper lamp by Greta Magnusson-Grossman each yield a soft and even glow. Some table lamps require lampshades to be bought separately.
Whether it’s a classic antique Tiffany table lamp, a Murano glass table lamp or even a bold avant-garde fixture custom-made by a contemporary design firm, the right table lamp can completely transform a room. Find the right one for you on 1stDibs.
Questions About Glass Painted Lamps
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021Yes, you can paint a glass lamp shade. You can use glass paints or acrylic paint to give old glass fixtures an inexpensive makeover. You can also use stencils for added visual appeal. Find a variety of lamp shades on 1stDibs.
- 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.
- Can a glass window be painted?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, you can paint a glass window. Certain types of paint are optimal for glass and include enamel acrylics, specially formulated solvent-based paints and acrylics specifically suited for glass. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of painted glass windows from top sellers around the world.
- How do I reverse paint on glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The first step in reverse glass painting is to select your design and to transfer it to a pane of glass. From there you can paint in your design. Once the paint is dry and set, you can proudly display your artwork from the unpainted side that will have no exposed paint and will be less prone to chipping.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between stained glass and painted glass is how it is made. To create stained glass, an artisan adds pigments to the glass and then fires it at high temperatures to permanently change the appearance of the material. With painted glass, color is added after firing and may rub off or fade with age. You'll find a large selection of glass decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023What colored glass lamps are called depends on their design. People usually refer to lamps with stained glass shades as Tiffany lamps or Tiffany-style lamps, after Louis Comfort Tiffany, the best known designer of this style of lamp (even if the fixture is not a product of the iconic Tiffany Studios). Colored glass lamps made by artisans on Murano in Venice are commonly referred to as Murano lamps. Shop a collection of lamps from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify a slag glass lamp, study its characteristics. Slag glass is often easy to spot because of its unique swirling pattern and variations in opacity that give it the appearance of marble stone. However, the material is lighter than stone. Certain makers are also known for producing slag glass lamps, such as Bradley Hubbard, the Miller Lamp Company, the Handel Lamp Company and Tiffany Studios. Researching any maker's marks found on your lamp can help you determine if it was produced by one of these companies or by another maker known for its slag glass lamps. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer help you make an identification. Explore a diverse assortment of slag glass lamps on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023To tell how old a glass lamp is, first look for markings that can help identify the name of the manufacturer. Many makers placed markings or labels on the bulb’s housing or the bases of the lamps they produced. By using trusted online resources, you can determine when the maker was active and estimate the age of the fixture. Certified appraisers can also be of assistance when trying to date lamps. Shop a range of glass lamps on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Reverse painting on glass is called verre églomisé. The term gets its name from the 18th-century decorator Jean-Baptiste Glomy who became famous for his reverse-painted glass prints. On 1stDibs, you can shop a collection of verre églomisé furniture and jewelry.
- 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 ExpertApril 5, 2022The craft of painting enamel on glass is called enameling. Because regular paint would simply wash off glass, the artisan uses enamel and fires it into the glass once they have painted the design. Browse a range of enameled glass pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Windows that appear to be made of painted glass are called stained glass windows. Stained glass windows are made of glass that has been colored by mixing molten glass with metallic oxides. Shop a range of stained glass pieces from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, ceramic table lamps can be painted. In fact, many lamps come with hand-painted finishes. If you choose to paint a lamp yourself, you may need two or more coats of paint to get the results you desire. You'll find a collection of ceramic table lamps on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024Technically, you can put a canvas painting in a glass frame. However, many experts advise against it. Paintings executed on canvas typically do not need the protection of glass, and a glass front on a frame can actually make it more difficult to admire the brushwork and fine details of a piece. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of paintings.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To paint a ceramic lamp, most experts recommend using an acrylic paint that’s specially formulated for ceramics. However, other paints can work. Consult the paint brand’s website for more information about suitable surfaces. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of vintage and modern ceramic lamps from some of the world’s top sellers.
