At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal marbro brass lamp for your home. Frequently made of
metal,
brass and
glass, every marbro brass lamp was constructed with great care. Your living room may not be complete without a marbro brass lamp — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. A marbro brass lamp made by
Mid-Century Modern designers — as well as those associated with
Hollywood Regency — is very popular.
The Marbro Lamp Company,
Seguso Vetri d'Arte and
Archimede Seguso each produced at least one beautiful marbro brass 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.
