Red Cut Glass Lamp For Sale on 1stDibs

With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the red cut glass lamp you’re looking for. Each red cut glass lamp for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using glass, cut glass and metal. You’ve searched high and low for the perfect red cut glass lamp — we have versions that date back to the 19th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. When you’re browsing for the right red cut glass lamp, those designed in Art Deco, Modern and Victorian styles are of considerable interest. Cenedese each produced at least one beautiful red cut glass lamp that is worth considering.

How Much is a Red Cut Glass Lamp?

The average selling price for a red cut glass lamp at 1stDibs is $2,127, while they’re typically $675 on the low end and $3,190 for the highest priced.

Finding the Right Table-lamps for You

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.
