How do I know if my lamp is worth anything?
1 Answer
To know if your lamp is worth anything, you can perform research using trusted online resources. Searching the base, socket and shade for a maker's marking is a good first step. You can use any markings to identify the maker of your lamp and then learn more about the pieces it produced to then estimate how old your lamp is. From there, review sales histories on trusted online platforms to see how much lamps of a similar age, type and condition sold for in the past. You may also wish to consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer for further guidance. Shop a diverse assortment of lamps on 1stDibs.
