Stain Glass Lamp For Sale on 1stDibs
How Much is a Stain Glass Lamp?
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.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Stain glass originated in the 4th century with churches and monasteries from the Ancient Roman Empire. Churches and other significant religious buildings often still have stained glass features. In more recent years, stained glass elements can be found in art and design elements, including sculptures and home decor. Shop a range of stained glass pieces on 1stDibs.
- How do you make stained glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The process of making stained glass is easier than it looks. As long as you have the necessary tools: glass, a glass cutter, cutting oil, pliers, copper foil, soldering iron, solder, flux, grinder, and a lightbox, you will master the art of stained glass in no time. The first step to making stained glass is creating a pattern. Next you will cut the glass and grind down the rough edges. Lastly, comes foiling and soldering.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between stained glass and painted glass is how it is made. To create stained glass, an artisan adds pigments to the glass and then fires it at high temperatures to permanently change the appearance of the material. With painted glass, color is added after firing and may rub off or fade with age. You'll find a large selection of glass decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024The difference between Tiffany glass and stained glass is that one relates to a brand and the other is a type of glass. Stained glass is colorful glass made by adding metallic oxides to molten glass during the blowing process. Named after Louis Comfort Tiffany who established Tiffany Studios, Tiffany glass involves a technique where copper foil, rather than the traditional lead oxide, serves as the joining material for individual stained glass pieces. Another key characteristic of Tiffany glass is that it often has an opalescent effect that creates variations in color and texture across its surface. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Tiffany glass and other stained glass pieces.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024To tell if stained glass is Tiffany, first examine the piece and look for a maker's mark. Tiffany Studios changed its hallmarks many times over the years. By comparing the marking on your piece to images of hallmarks found on authentic items shared on trustworthy websites, you can begin to identify your glass. The base can provide an additional clue if your stained glass piece is a lamp. Many Tiffany lamps have a gray metal ring located under the cap. If you spot one, your piece may be made by Tiffany. Because there are many reproductions on the market, it is often wise to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist with the identification process. Find a range of Tiffany glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few different ways to determine the age of stained glass.
