A pool table light made by Victorian designers — as well as those associated with Arts and Crafts — is very popular.

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 Pool Table Light
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The best lighting for a pool table won’t be too bright and will reduce glare and shadows on the felt during the game. If the light fixture is immobile, its height should be at least 65 inches, and if it is portable, its height should be at least 40 inches from the bed of the table. Any light directed on the players should not be blinding. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage and contemporary lighting solutions for your pool table.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    The oldest known pool table was in the collection of King Louis XI of France. It dates back to at least 1470 and appears on an inventory of his possessions. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage pool tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between a snooker table and a pool table comes down to dimensions. Generally, a snooker table is larger than a pool table, also called a billiards table. The increased size is due to the fact that a snooker game typically uses a total of 21 balls, compared to the 9 to 15 used during a pool game. Both types of gaming tables have six pockets, but those on a snooker table are usually smaller than those on a pool table because snooker balls tend to be smaller than billiard balls. On 1stDibs, find a range of billiard and snooker tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    The difference between a billiard table and a pool table is primarily the size. The basic dimensions of a billiard table are usually 10’ by 5’, whereas a pool table is a relatively smaller structure, as they’re usually 3.5’ by 7’. An additional way that these tables differ from each other is the absence of pockets on the billiard table. Shop a range of billiard and pool tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    Professional pool players play on tournament billiards tables. This type of billiard table usually has a 50-inch by 100-inch playing surface and is the type of pool table invented when the modern-day version of the game first debuted in the early 20th century. For home use, most people purchase standard pool tables that measure 44 inches by 88 inches. Find a wide range of pool tables on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To identify an antique Brunswick pool table, look for the Brunswick name printed in large letters directly on the wood or on a metal plate attached to the side of the pool table or outer rail. Brunswick tables were only made with wood, so check to see if the rails are solid wood. Another aspect to inspect is how the table is put together. The brand’s website includes a long list of unique construction elements specific to their tables. Find a selection of Brunswick game tables and accessories on 1stDibs.
