At 1stDibs, there are several options of stacked ball table lamps available for sale. Frequently made of
metal,
chrome and
glass, all stacked ball table lamps available were constructed with great care. Stacked ball table lamps have been made for many years, and versions that date back to the 20th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 21st Century. There are many kinds of stacked ball table lamps to choose from, but at 1stDibs,
mid-century modern,
modern and
Art Deco stacked ball table lamps are of considerable interest. Large stacked ball table lamps can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller stacked ball table lamps available at 1stDibs — each spanning 5 inches in width — may make for a better choice.
George Kovacs,
Chapman Manufacturing Company and
Frederick Cooper each produced beautiful stacked ball table lamps that are 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.
