There are many kinds of the all brass lamp you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 20th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. An all brass lamp made by Mid-Century Modern designers — as well as those associated with Hollywood Regency — is very popular. You’ll likely find more than one all brass lamp that is appealing in its simplicity, but Arteluce, Bradley & Hubbard and Chapman Manufacturing Company produced versions that are worth a look.

Finding the Right Lighting for You
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About All Brass Lamp
- How do you use a brass oil lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023How you use a brass oil lamp may vary based on the design of the piece. However, generally, you fill the lamp with vegetable, sesame or similar plant-based oil. Use tweezers to raise and lower the wick and trim away burned ends with scissors. Then, use a match to light the lamp. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of oil lamps.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021White color lamp shades go well with polished brass, whereas off-white or cream-colored lamp shades look better with antique brass. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of vintage and antique lampshades to meet any style or décor scheme.
- What is a brass scale?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A brass scale is the one used in ancient times when bartering or trading various precious metal currencies.

This antique piece of furniture was commonly made of brass, but some were crafted from other metals, such as steel. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic vintage brass footman pieces.
- What is a brass jardinière?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A brass jardinière is a planter crafted from brass. It is typically cylindrical in shape, and may feature side handles to make it easier to move, or feet to give it elevated style. It may also feature intricate designs.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023The difference between a table lamp and a buffet lamp is the size. Although the two types of lamps come in similar heights, buffet lamps are usually narrower, so they take up less space on a buffet server filled with food. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of lamps from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023The main difference between a table lamp and an accent lamp is its size. Generally, table lamps are larger pieces that people use for task lighting or to increase ambiance lighting in a room. Accent lamps tend to be smaller and provide supplemental light in spaces. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of lamps from some of the world's top sellers.
- What are floor lamps?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2024A floor lamp is a tall standing lamp used to illuminate a space. A floor lamp should typically be between 58 and 64 inches tall. The bottom of the fixture's shade should be slightly below or approximately at the eye level of a person sitting nearby. This will help your guests avoid the lamp's glare.
In addition to illuminating large spaces, floor lamps can light specific seating areas and serve as task lighting (use a taller floor lamp if you wish to keep a fair amount of distance between the fixture and your seating). Visual artists and industrial designers have a penchant for floor lamps, possibly because they’re so often a clever marriage of design and the functions of lighting. A good floor lamp can change the mood of any room while adding a touch of elegance to your entire space.
Find antique and vintage floor lamps, table lamps and other lighting on 1stDibs. - What is a piano lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A piano lamp is a lighting fixture designed to illuminate sheet music and piano keys so that a pianist can see to play. Normally, the lights feature narrow rectangular or compact round or square bases that can easily fit on a piano top. Some have arms that allow their shades to hang down over the front of the instrument. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of piano lamps.
- What is a pairpoint lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021Pairpoint lamps are lamps with blown glass shades that are collected to this day. Pairpoint is celebrated for three kinds of glass shades: reverse painted landscape shades, blown out or "puffy" reverse painted shades, and ribbed reverse painted shades, many with scenes. Check 1stDibs for a wide range of Pairpoint lamps.
- What is a portable lamp?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021As the name suggests, a portable lamp is a lamp that can be moved and plugged in wherever there is an electrical outlet. Floor and table lamps mainly fall under the portable lamp category. Shop a range of antique and vintage portable lamps on 1stDibs.
