Canister Lamp For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal canister lamp for your home. Each canister lamp for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using metal, tôle and wood. There are 95 variations of the antique or vintage canister lamp you’re looking for, while we also have 3 modern editions of this piece to choose from as well. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer canister lamp, there are earlier versions available from the 19th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. When you’re browsing for the right canister lamp, those designed in Hollywood Regency, Regency and Victorian styles are of considerable interest. A well-made canister lamp has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by Frederick Cooper, Gerald Thurston and Venini are consistently popular.

How Much is a Canister Lamp?

A canister lamp can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $1,417, while the lowest priced sells for $265 and the highest can go for as much as $10,500.

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.
