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 Lamps
- 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.
- 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.
- What is a piano lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A piano lamp is a lighting fixture designed to illuminate sheet music and piano keys so that a pianist can see to play. Normally, the lights feature narrow rectangular or compact round or square bases that can easily fit on a piano top.

- What is a pairpoint lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021Pairpoint lamps are lamps with blown glass shades that are collected to this day.

- What is a rocket lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The term rocket lamp can refer to any lamp that has a rocket shape or that references a rocket in its design. Many of them feature a tripod base structure and are more abstract in their style, while others are obviously shaped like a rocket. Shop a collection of rocket lamps from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a portable lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021As the name suggests, a portable lamp is a lamp that can be moved and plugged in wherever there is an electrical outlet. Floor and table lamps mainly fall under the portable lamp category. Shop a range of antique and vintage portable lamps on 1stDibs.
- What is a Shoji lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Made out of bamboo wooden slats and white rice paper, Shoji lamps can be used as a table, floor or hanging lamp. The rice paper diffuses the light to create a soft glow, and can have gorgeous designs on them. On 1stDibs, you can find a collection of Shoji lamps from some of the world’s top sellers.
- What is a Martz lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024A Martz lamp is a freestanding or tabletop light fixture produced by Gordon and Jane Martz.

Their pieces are daring but relaxed and make for versatile additions to any space. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Martz lamps.
- What is a mica lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A mica lamp — or specifically, a mica lampshade — is made from mica, a naturally occurring mineral. For the purposes of producing the lampshade, mica is separated into flakes and recombined into sheets with binding agents. Mica lamps offer a soft romantic glow in any room. They are the perfect addition to a living room or lounge if you're seeking to add warm mood lighting. Shop a range of antique and vintage lamps on 1stDibs.
- What does an agate lamp do?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The shade of an agate lamp is made from agate geode crystals. The crystals are known to have a cleansing aura, eliminating negativity and can even help improve concentration. Find an assortment of agate lamps from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a lamp base?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A lamp base is the lighting element of the lamp which attaches to the lamp body. They are traditionally made up of nickel-plated brass.
- What is a steampunk lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A steampunk lamp is likely going to be elegant and simple — a factory-style fixture with a brass base, perhaps topped with a white or clear glass shade. The fashion movement of the same name influences the look of steampunk lamps. This movement brought together technology and design inspired by the steam machines of the 19th century. As a design concept, steampunk can feel elusive. Unlike movements such as Arts and Crafts or American Craftsman, which are rooted in specific historical periods, steampunk combines an imagined past with the present and sometimes even the future. In the late 1980s, writer K. W. Jeter coined the term steampunk to describe his science-fiction stories, which were set in an idealized version of Victorian London. Since that time, steampunk has evolved, emerging as a design style and a subculture. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary steampunk lamps from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.

It is a lamp that has a central post supporting an easy-to-fill detachable fuel tank and an adjustable-height arm holding a kerosene burner with a wick topped by a decorative glass shade and chimney. A collection of vintage and modern student lamps is available on 1stDibs.
- What is a Murano lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022First made popular in the 1970s, Murano lamps are hand-blown lamps made by glassmakers on Murano island in Italy. The lamps are characterized by their mushroom shape. Shop a collection of authentic Murano lamps from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

Shop a collection of Zen lamps from sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is a Lightolier lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Lightolier was founded in 1904 by Bernhard Blitzer and the name is a combination of the words “light” and “chandelier.” Lightolier specializes in elaborate and decorative chandeliers, but they also produce a style of lamps that combine functionality with a lively aesthetic.
