Shell Table Lamps For Sale on 1stDibs

An assortment of shell table lamps is available at 1stDibs. Each of these unique shell table lamps was constructed with extraordinary care, often using metal, shell and brass. There are 415 antique and vintage shell table lamps for sale at 1stDibs, while we also have 20 modern editions to choose from as well. Shell table lamps have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency and Art Deco shell table lamps are consistently popular styles. Not every interior allows for large shell table lamps, so small shell table lamps measuring 3 inches across are available at 1stDibs. There have been many well-made shell table lamps over the years, but those made by Roger Rougier, Tiffany Studios and Willy Daro are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much are Shell Table Lamps?

Prices for shell table lamps can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, shell table lamps begin at $244 and can go as high as $27,500, while the average can fetch as much as $1,954.

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.

The filament in a bulb is a conductor of electricity. It’s attached to contacts made of metal that are connected to a power supply. This allows for electricity to flow through it. When the electrical current cycles through the filament, this component gets quite hot and emits light. Find a large collection of vintage table lamps on 1stDibs.

    To identify a Tiffany table lamp, first take a close look at the base. Some pieces will bear a stamp or label that says, "Tiffany Studios," and newer lamps may also feature a serial number. By comparing the number and markings to information and images shared by trusted online resources, you can begin the identification process. If your lamp isn't marked, the base construction can provide more clues about the maker. Tiffany lamps usually feature bronze bases that feel weighty. Older models typically have a gray metal ring on their bottoms as well. In addition to examining the base, try turning the lamp on for a while and then touching the stained glass shade. Tiffany lamps tend to stay cool due to the thickness of the glass, so if yours feels hot, it may be the work of a different manufacturer. When in doubt, use the identification services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a collection of Tiffany lamps on 1stDibs.
