With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the lamps table slag you’re looking for. Frequently made of
glass,
metal and
slag glass, every lamps table slag was constructed with great care. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer lamps table slag, there are earlier versions available from the 19th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. A lamps table slag made by
Arts and Crafts designers — as well as those associated with
mid-century modern — is very popular. A well-made lamps table slag has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by
Bradley & Hubbard,
Higgins Glass and
Louis Comfort Tiffany are consistently popular.
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.
