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 Lamps with Birds
- How are birds taxidermied?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Birds are taxidermied through a multi-step process. First, the taxidermist removes the skin and flesh. Then, they wire the bird and mount it. Finally, they groom the bird, arranging the feathers to make the finished piece visually appealing. Shop a collection of taxidermied birds on 1stDibs.
- What is Rothschild Bird?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Rothschild Bird refers to a china pattern created by Herend Porcelain Manufactory in 1850 for the Rothschld family of Europe. The birds are meant to represent birds from the Rothschild’s Vienna residence where they were once seen playing with a pearl necklace. Find a collection of expertly vetted Herent Porcelain from some of the world’s top reputable boutiques on 1stDibs.
- Who designed the Bird chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Italian-American designer and artist Harry Bertoia designed the Bird chair in 1952. It features a tubular base and a wire basket seat. Today, Knoll Furniture continues to manufacture the mid-century modern furnishing. Find a selection of Bird chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022What birds are illegal to taxidermy depends on where you live. In the U.S., federal law bans the practice for certain species, and most states have additional restrictions. Consult your local regulations for specific information. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of taxidermy.
- Where are metal birds made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Metal bird sculptures have been made by many different artisans and companies over the years. They remain popular, timeless pieces sought after by enthusiasts across the world. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a wide collection of antique and contemporary metal bird sculptures and figurines from some of the world’s top sellers.
- Can I buy stuffed birds?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, you can buy stuffed birds. However, laws prohibit the sale of certain species of taxidermied birds. To purchase one, you can work with a local taxidermist or shop various reputable online platforms. Find a variety of taxidermy on 1stDibs.
- What type of bird bath is best?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The best bird bath for you depends on your personal preferences and needs. There is a collection of bird baths on 1stDibs to help you beautify your outdoor space.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Whether the Bertoia Bird chair is comfortable is largely a matter of personal preference. However, many online reviewers report that the combination of the angle of the backrest, the thin layer of padding and the flexibility of the wire frame provide optimal support and make it possible to sit for long periods in comfort. In addition, owners laud the chair's overall compact proportions, which make it ideal for small spaces. Explore a collection of Harry Bertoia Bird chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023To tell if a bird sculpture is made of Murano glass, professionals recommend having an antiques dealer or Murano glass expert examine it. Otherwise, look for the signature of the artist or factory on the piece. Authentic Murano glass will often, but not always, include labels with the name of the workshop, the signature of the glass master and a certificate of authenticity. Use trusted online resources to determine if the maker's location is or was in Murano, in northeastern Italy. Seeing the word "Murano" on a glass decorative object doesn't mean that it is authentic. In fact, most genuine pieces won't show the word "Murano." Murano glass is identifiable by its richly layered colors and characteristic gold or silver flecks inside the glass. Authentic Murano glass often has small imperfections and an irregular shape due to the freeform creation process. Find a collection of Murano glass decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 27, 2025There is actually more than one famous artist who draws birds. Perhaps the best-known is John James Audubon, an American ornithologist, naturalist and painter. He was notable for his expansive studies documenting American birds and his detailed illustrations depicting them in their natural habitats. Some have called artist and ornithologist David Allen Sibley "the most important bird illustrator since Audubon" due to his work. His illustrated Sibley Guides to Birds have sold more than six million copies. Other well-known bird illustrators include the 18th-century naturalist George Edwards and Rex Brasher, who produced watercolors of birds during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Explore a variety of bird illustrations on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How a singing bird box works relies on a clockwork mechanism. Twisting the winder provides power to the motor which then moves the bird and turns the gears that produce music. Both the bird's motion and the tune continue until the motor stops spinning. Find a wide variety of music boxes on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023The main difference between a table lamp and an accent lamp is its size. Generally, table lamps are larger pieces that people use for task lighting or to increase ambiance lighting in a room. Accent lamps tend to be smaller and provide supplemental light in spaces. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of lamps from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023The difference between a table lamp and a buffet lamp is the size. Although the two types of lamps come in similar heights, buffet lamps are usually narrower, so they take up less space on a buffet server filled with food. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of lamps from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify a Laurel Lamp table lamp, first check the bottom of the base and the bulb socket for a label, tag or other marking. Some pieces display the Laurel brand name or a serial number, which you can cross-reference with information published on trusted online resources to make an identification. Since not all Laurel table lamps bear markings, you may need to search image galleries to see if you can find a model that matches your lamp. You can also consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer for an expert opinion. Find a variety of Laurel Lamp Company lamps on 1stDibs.
