How do you identify an old floor lamp?
To identify an old floor lamp, first try to locate a maker's marking. Manufacturers typically mark floor lamps on the base, neck or socket. Once you've found a marking, you can use trusted online resources to learn more about the maker and your specific piece. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer examine your lamp. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of antique and vintage floor lamps.
