How do you date a lamp?
1 Answer
To date a table lamp or floor lamp, first look for any type of maker's mark. If you find one, conduct an online search to determine who the manufacturer was and when they were active. Cord and plug styles can also give you an indication of age. However, some antique and vintage lamps may have replacement cords. Materials and stylistic features can also help you determine the age of a fixture. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique and vintage lamps.
