Finding the Right Table-lamps for You

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.

Questions About Anglepoise Original Lamp

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    The 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, 2024
    George 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021
    An 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 ExpertApril 5, 2022
    British 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    To 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.
