How do you identify an old lamp?
To identify an old lamp, first look for the maker's markings. You may find an etched or stamped marking or a paper or foil label on the base, socket, winding knob or neck of your lamp. By researching this marking using information published on trusted online resources, you may be able to determine who produced it. Another approach is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist with the identification process. Explore a selection of antique and vintage floor lamps on 1stDibs.
