Crystal Glass Ceiling For Sale on 1stDibs

With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the crystal glass ceiling you’re looking for. A crystal glass ceiling — often made from glass, metal and stone — can elevate any home. There are 275 variations of the antique or vintage crystal glass ceiling you’re looking for, while we also have 17 modern editions of this piece to choose from as well. There are many kinds of the crystal glass ceiling you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. When you’re browsing for the right crystal glass ceiling, those designed in Mid-Century Modern, Art Nouveau and Baroque styles are of considerable interest. Many designers have produced at least one well-made crystal glass ceiling over the years, but those crafted by Glashütte Limburg, Palwa and Venini are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much is a Crystal Glass Ceiling?

A crystal glass ceiling can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $4,146, while the lowest priced sells for $238 and the highest can go for as much as $43,000.

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 Crystal Glass Ceiling
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    Yes, crystal glass is real crystal. However, it's important to understand what the term means. In the world of glassware, crystal is a type of glass that features an additive like lead oxide, potassium carbonate or barium oxide to increase its durability. Crystal glass is crystal because it contains these additives, but it does not actually have a crystalline structure from a scientific perspective. The term crystal as used by glassworks comes from the word "Cristallo," which was pioneered by Italian glassblowers to describe high-end glassware. It doesn't have the same meaning as the word crystal when employed in scientific contexts. Shop a large collection of crystal glass on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Crystal is a subcategory of glass with a high mineral (usually lead) content.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    It depends. Since 1903, Steuben has been famous for both its glassware and crystal. Crystal is a kind of glass with additives that make it strong and able to be used in elegantly thin designs. Crystal also refracts light, creating a striking look. Steuben is known for its exceptionally beautiful crystal formula. Shop a range of Steuben glass and crystal pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Walther Glass (formerly known as Walther-Glas) is renowned for its examples of antique crystal glass.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Baccarat is a French manufacturer of fine crystal. Baccarat did originally start as a glasswork company with production primarily consisting of window panes, mirrors and stemware up until 1816. The brand then switched to crystal production, creating expertly crafted stemware, chandeliers and other pieces in a variety of design styles.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
    The difference between glass and crystal wine glasses is their composition. Mineral deposits like lead, magnesium or zinc strengthen crystal glass, rendering it thin but durable. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of wine glasses and other glassware from different periods.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are several ways to tell if an item is crystal or glass. The main difference between crystal and glass is that crystal is made with lead, making it easier to add decorative elements. Crystal refracts and disperses light, creating a rainbow effect, and is heavier than regular glass. When gently tapped, crystal items create a ringing, musical sound. If you are still unsure, consult a certified appraiser. Browse a range of authenticated fine crystal and glass pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Hold the piece up to a light source. If you see a prism effect, it’s crystal.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

    Acidic drinks like wine and citrus juices can leach lead from a crystal glass. However, unless the liquid is stored in the glass for more than a few hours, drinking it is generally safe.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Crystal is considered highly desirable in glassware due to its clarity, however, not all glassware is made of crystal. Crystal is more durable than standard glass and is often thinner because of its strength, yet it's more porous and requires handwashing. Shop a range of wine glasses, including crystal, from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
