Finding the Right Table-lamps for You
Well-crafted antique and vintage table lamps do more than provide light; the right fixture-and-table combination can add a focal point or creative element to any interior.
Proper table lamps have long been used for lighting our most intimate spaces. Perfect for lighting your nightstand or reading nook, table lamps play an integral role in styling an inviting room. In the years before electricity, lamps used oil. Today, a rewired 19th-century vintage lamp can still provide a touch of elegance for a study.
After industrial milestones such as mass production took hold in the Victorian era, various design movements sought to bring craftsmanship and innovation back to this indispensable household item. Lighting designers affiliated with Art Deco, which originated in the glamorous roaring ’20s, sought to celebrate modern life by fusing modern metals with dark woods and dazzling colors in the fixtures of the era. The geometric shapes and gilded details of vintage Art Deco table lamps provide an air of luxury and sophistication that never goes out of style.
After launching in 1934, Anglepoise lamps soon became a favorite among modernist architects and designers, who interpreted the fixture as “a machine for lighting,” just as Le Corbusier had reimagined the house as “a machine for living in.” The popular task light owed to a collaboration between a vehicle-suspension engineer by the name of George Carwardine and a West Midlands springs manufacturer, Herbert Terry & Sons.
Some mid-century modern table lamps, particularly those created by the likes of Joe Colombo and the legendary lighting artisans at Fontana Arte, bear all the provocative hallmarks associated with Space Age design. Sculptural and versatile, the Louis Poulsen table lamps of that period were revolutionary for their time and still seem innovative today.
If you are looking for something more contemporary, industrial table lamps are demonstrative of a newly chic style that isn’t afraid to pay homage to the past. They look particularly at home in any rustic loft space amid exposed brick and steel beams.
Before you buy a desk lamp or table lamp for your living room, consider your lighting needs. The Snoopy lamp, designed in 1967, or any other “banker’s lamp” (shorthand for the Emeralite desk lamps patented by H.G. McFaddin and Company), provides light at a downward angle that is perfect for writing, while the Fontana table lamp and the beloved Grasshopper lamp by Greta Magnusson-Grossman each yield a soft and even glow. Some table lamps require lampshades to be bought separately.
Whether it’s a classic antique Tiffany table lamp, a Murano glass table lamp or even a bold avant-garde fixture custom-made by a contemporary design firm, the right table lamp can completely transform a room. Find the right one for you on 1stDibs.
Questions About Anglepoise Original Lamp
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024The Anglepoise lamp is iconic for a few reasons. For one thing, the lamp has a long, rich history that dates back to 1931, and modern versions display very few differences from the original fixture designed by George Carwardine. As a result, many people envision the Anglepoise first when someone mentions the term "desk lamp." In addition, the Anglepoise lamp is highly functional due to its hinged neck, which allows the adjustment of its position without having to use clamps or a tool. This innovative design was a major breakthrough and went on to influence the work of other lighting designers, thereby contributing to the Anglepoise's iconic status. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Anglepoise lamps.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024George Carwardine invented the Anglepoise lamp. He introduced the desk lamp in 1931, and it quickly became popular. Prior to working in lighting design, Carwadine developed suspension systems for automobiles, and it was the springs used in these systems that inspired his now-iconic lamp. Shop a variety of Anglepoise lamps on 1stDibs.
- How does Anglepoise lamp work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021An Anglepoise lamp works on springs that are integrated in the joints, helping it to balance and hold its shape. These balanced-arm lamps are known to be energy-saving and among the first to use 25-watt bulbs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024To tell if an Anglepoise is real, look on the fork of the lamp for a recessed area. On an authentic Anglepoise, you will see the company's maker's mark in this area. Compare the stamp on your lamp to images of the markings found on trusted online resources to confirm the authenticity of your piece. If you need help with the authentication process, consider using the services of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of Anglepoise lamps.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022British designer George Carwardine designed the Anglepoise desk lamp. Before creating the light fixture, he worked as an engineer designing automobile suspension systems. The first Anglepoise lamps debuted in 1931. You can find a variety of Anglepoise desk lamps on 1stDibs.
