Rare Arts & Crafts Pendant Light w Hand-Blown Art Glass and Bronze Mounts, c1900
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique Art Nouveau ceiling fixture with 10 hand-blown glass panels. An exquisite and rare Art Nouveau pendant light, fully embodying the organic elegance and craftsmanship of the Jugendstil movement. This exceptional fixture is not just lighting .. it’s a sculptural artwork that brings period authenticity and timeless beauty into any space. The chandelier features a bronze and brass frame with a rich, aged patina. It holds 10 gracefully curved, hand-blown art glass panels, each delicately opalescent with soft hints of pale green and white. These panels are encased in a flowing, nature-inspired framework typical of early 20th-century Art Nouveau design. Suspended from four robust chains, the bowl-shaped shade is topped with a highly detailed crown-like canopy that echoes the flowing, botanical forms seen in fine European lighting of the era. When lit, the glass panels emit a warm, diffused glow that enhances the fixture's sculptural lines and highlights its organic elegance (see photos with light on). The fixture will be professionally rewired and is fully functional, ready for installation. A unique conversation piece, ideal for entryways, bedrooms, or atmospheric corners in both traditional and modern interiors. This unique pendant / antique light fixture will bring the kind of pure and handcrafted class and beauty that you don't find anymore in this day and age. This fixture will come with a matching canopy, mounting this stylish and rare ceiling lamp. Mind you, our price for this rare Arts and Crafts ceiling lamp even includes perfect packing and also free delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 5 days.

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.
