With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the large travertine lamp you’re looking for. A large travertine lamp — often made from
limestone,
stone and
travertine — can elevate any home. There are many kinds of the large travertine lamp you’re looking for, from those produced as long ago as the 20th Century to those made as recently as the 20th Century. When you’re browsing for the right large travertine lamp, those designed in
Mid-Century Modern,
Hollywood Regency and
Modern styles are of considerable interest.
Philippe Barbier,
Fratelli Mannelli and
Gaetano Sciolari each produced at least one beautiful large travertine lamp that is worth considering.
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.
