Pair of Antique 1920s Arts & Crafts Hanging Lanterns in Metal and Handmade Glass
Located in COLMAR, FR
A rare set of two matching antique lanterns (pendant lamps). The lanterns have no maker's markings but most likely dates from the early 1900s. Their design is strongly inspired by the Arts and Crafts mouvement (1880-1920). The lanterns have been sourced in Northeastern France. These antique lanterns are made to be suspended. The structure of the lanterns is made of metal, most likely a copper alloy. The inside is made of slightly amber colored/smokey glass that has been mouth blown into the wrought metal frame in one single piece. When lightened, the light does not only shine through the body of the lantern but also through the small, circular glass sections on the top and on the bottom of the lantern. The lanterns are sold unwired. There is a hole on the top of each lantern for easy wiring, i.e. fit for a wire with a light socket. They can thus easily be adapted to any voltage (see photo). The lanterns are sold without lighting chains...

Rare Antique Arts & Crafts Alabaster with Embossed Copper 6-Light Pendant
Located in Lisse, NL
Copper and alabaster Arts & Crafts chandelier with original twirled copper 'chain' & original canopy. With early 20th century lighting being one of our specialities, finding this rare and extraordinary pendant more than made our day. The combination of the striking alabaster shade and the uniquely designed patinated copper gallery with embossed organic patterns, make it an absolute joy to own and look at. The good condition alabaster shade comes with a large number of natural veins and patches and they are among the most colorful you ever saw. But what makes this Arts and Crafts pendant truly stand out from anything you ever saw are the four extra 'windows' in the copper frame that each has its own little alabaster bowl shade. And with each of those four shades having its own socket, the light and the form that this creates has an aesthetical beauty that you simply don't find anywhere. This too makes this six-light Arts and Crafts pendant extra special and an absolut joy to own and to look at. The unique and organic design of the pure Arts & Crafts body and its matching large canopy will never fail to impress, also, because of its good overal condition. The original and superb condition, twirled copper down-rods are like the icing on the cake of this unique pendant and this antique light fixture will bring the kind of pure class and beauty that you don't find anymore in this day and age. Thanks to the hook inside the copper canopy, mounting this stylish and rare ceiling lamp is child's play. Mind you, this all handcrafted fixture from the earliest years of the 1900s will arrive rewired to the highest standard (with black wire) for safe and immediate usage in the country where it will go to so it will definitely be ready for you to use and enjoy. Our fair price for this rare Arts and Crafts ceiling light...

Unique Arts & Crafts Alabaster Pendant w. Hand Carved Grape Bunches & Wine Leafs
Located in Lisse, NL
Top quality alabaster shade pendant with deeply hand carved grapevines all around. Thanks to its good size, its unique handcarved design and extremely good condition this alabaster chandelier is bound to light up both your days and evenings. What makes this particular alabaster pendant stand out from those that we have seen and sold over the years are both the great colors AND the stylish and all-handcarved grape bunches and wine leafs that are going all around the shade. If you look closely then you will realize that these grapevines are not only the most deeply carved you will have ever seen, they also have been hand-carved with a technique that is called "(we cannot find the name for it yet)". Most of us are unable to handcarve anything half-decent, but the artisan whom created this work-of-art-light-fixture took it to another level alltogether. Not only did he hand-carve beautifully detailed grapevines with grape bunches and wine leafs, he also managed to carve everything around it away whilst still keeping the stunning alabaster shade perfectly round. Using this particular technique of hand-carving on a flat surface would already be very difficult and time consuming, performing it on a round surface is something only the true master carvers would have been able accomplish. Red and pink & black and white are the main colors in this, one of a kind alabaster pendant and with the light off this work of art really is a joy to own and look at. However, with the light switched on this amazing shade comes even more to life and then this chandelier creates an atmosphere that is unlike anything we have ever seen. For this unique light to still be in this amazing condition after more than 100 years is not only an ode to the craftsmanship with which this light was handmade, it also shows how former owners have taken great care. We could shoot many more photos, but you still would not be able to see the true beauty of this alabaster stone shade and you could still not get a good idea of the unique beauty and class that this chandelier radiates. In real life our antiques always have that little bit extra and this stunning pendant truly epitomizes that. You can (again) take our word for it. Have you also noticed the perfect bronze and bross suspension points? They too are in perfect condition. To us, this is the perfect antique pendant for a restaurant or winery, but it will also look perfect in a cosey entry hall or in a bedroom. Both with the light on and off its artistic beauty will never go unnoticed. The replacement, anthracite colored, metal chains and the replacement, anthracite colored and height adjustable brass canopy are like the icing on the cake of this masterfully crafted and truly stylish chandelier. It is rewired to the highest standard for safe and immediate usage in the USA as well and thanks to the metal hook inside the height adjustable canopy, safely mounting this amazing chandelier tight to your ceiling can be done in just a few minutes. With perfect packing (in a custom made box) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days included in our fair price this unique antique...

Vintage and Antique Lighting for Sale: Unique Table Lamps, Floor Lamps, Sconces and Other Lighting for Your Home

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.
