Cone Shade Table Lamp For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal cone shade table lamp for your home. Each cone shade table lamp for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using metal, brass and aluminum. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect cone shade table lamp — we have versions that date back to the 20th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. When you’re browsing for the right cone shade table lamp, those designed in Mid-Century Modern styles are of considerable interest. Yasha Heifetz each produced at least one beautiful cone shade table lamp that is worth considering.

How Much is a Cone Shade Table Lamp?

A cone shade table lamp can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $1,572, while the lowest priced sells for $380 and the highest can go for as much as $3,850.

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.
