At 1stDibs, there are several options of amber glass lamps available for sale. The range of distinct amber glass lamps — often made from
glass,
metal and
brass — can elevate any home. We have 485 antique and vintage amber glass lamps in-stock, while there are 77 modern editions to choose from as well. Amber glass lamps have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century. Amber glass lamps bearing
mid-century modern or
modern hallmarks are very popular at 1stDibs. Not every interior allows for large amber glass lamps, so small amber glass lamps measuring 2 inches across are available at 1stDibs.
Seguso Vetri d'Arte,
Poul Henningsen and
Louis Poulsen each produced beautiful amber glass lamps that are worth considering.
Antique table lamps became a category of their own once electricity moved light off the wall and onto furniture. The form split quickly: task-driven designs like the Anglepoise on one side, decorative ceramic and glass on the other.
Styles to Know
Base material shapes the light as much as the shade does: ceramic and glass diffuse a softer glow, while brass and metal read more directional. Layer the look with a mid-century modern floor lamp for ambient light, or set a pair on a mid-century modern nightstand for a bedroom.
How to Choose the Right Vintage Table Lamp
Buying individually rather than as a pair allows more flexibility when mixing eras across a room. For those shopping by name rather than by shape, the history of the Anglepoise lamp is worth a read. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed, and the 1stDibs Promise stands behind every purchase.
