French Porcelain Lights For Sale on 1stDibs
How Much are French Porcelain Lights?
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.
- What is French porcelain called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024What French porcelain is called depends on its type. Prior to 1765, porcelain made in France was not true porcelain, as it lacked kaolin clay. These early pieces are soft-paste porcelain or pâte tendre. After the discovery of kaolin near Limoges, France, French artisans were able to produce true porcelain, which is called hard paste or pâte dure. You may also see French porcelain referred to by the region from which it originated. Examples include Sèvres porcelain, Limoges porcelain, Chantilly porcelain and Vincennes porcelain. Explore a diverse assortment of French porcelain wares on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024Yes, some French porcelain is worth something. Specifically, there is a demand for some Limoges and Sèvres porcelain pieces, especially those produced by well-known makers, such as Haviland & Co. and Deshoulières. In addition to maker and style, the type, age and condition of a French porcelain piece play a role in determining its value. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can give you an estimate of how much a particular piece is worth. Shop a large collection of French porcelain on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024One way to identify French porcelain marks is to take a photo with your smartphone or tablet and then perform a reverse image search. Often, doing so will allow you to quickly determine the maker. If this approach fails, explore trusted online resources with photographs of the markings associated with various French makers, such as the crowned N of Sèvres and the H & Co. insignia of Haviland. Another option is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer perform the identification for you. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of French porcelain.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024To identify French Limoges porcelain marks, refer to trusted online resources. There are dozens of markings associated with Limoges porcelain. By comparing the marks on your piece to images shared online, you can determine if your piece is a Limoges. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can also assist you with identification. Explore a range of Limoges porcelain on 1stDibs.
