What is a mica lamp?
1 Answer
A 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.
