Minerva Touch Lamp, Black
Located in Mantova, MN
This elegant table lamp brings together innovation and Classical myth for a unique lighting experience. The lamp’s body is crafted from high-quality ceramic in the Venetian tradition, entirely hand-finished. Its bold personality and distinctive flair make this lamp the perfect match for any decorative style in the most prestigious mansions. A bust of the Roman goddess Minerva sits atop the classic column-shaped pedestal. The innovative touch technology allows to switch and adjust the light with a delicate brush of the hand on the ceramic pedestal. The light source is a 7W LED strip with 3000K lumen and 100-240V voltage.
Les First’s very first desktop light sculpture, first in the Light of the Gods collection, Minerva matches traditional ceramic with modern LED light technology, and the art of Giulio Romano, author of the Hall of the Giants in the Palazzo Te of Mantova.
A celebration of the ancient goddess of knowledge, arts and light, it aims to amaze, to embody a new style, to fuse history and innovation into a new concept of energy as a flow. Classic elegance, color and high-tech combine into a sophisticated lamp that switches on and off with a touch, thanks to a dedicated software.
Les First: Light of the Gods
A luminous pantheon reinventing myth in a flow of energy and imagination: light sculptures with a strong and versatile personality, a perfect fit for both classical or minimalist settings, born to satisfy the senses and pay tribute to a timeless beauty.

Okeanos Touch Lamp, Matt Black
Located in Mantova, MN
The finest ceramic, crafted in the Venetian tradition, takes the shape of shells, corals and sea creatures straddling myth and reality, to decorate a timeless amphora. The sea, ancient art, and Classical Antiquity, reimagined with a modern eye, join forces with hi-tech LED lighting to create an elegant table lamp of unique allure, named after the primeval sea god. Thanks to its innovative touch system, the lamp’s Plexiglas pane can be switched and adjusted by touching the ceramic pedestal. The light source is a 7W LED strip with 3000K, 411 lumen and 100-240V voltage.
To the Ancient Greeks Okeanos was the primeval god of waters, the immense sea/river that springs from itself and in itself flows again, encompassing the whole world in water. Homer’s poetry makes him into the beginning of all things, the eternal origin of all the seas, rivers and springs – in an endless cycle of flowing life energy.

The seed pod quality of the design adds an organic influence of mother nature to the collection’s geometric form. Dimmable illumination is created by LED lights, which nestle within the metal cage. The light is further enhanced by the additional reflections and refractions that ricochet off the central clear glass orb, illuminating the brass sphere like a ball of fire...

Antique and Vintage Table Lamps for Sale: Find Art Deco Table Lamps, Murano Glass Table Lamps and Other Lighting on 1stDibs
Well-crafted antique and vintage table lamps do more than provide light; the right fixture-and-table combination can add a focal point or creative element to any interior.
Proper table lamps have long been used for lighting our most intimate spaces. Perfect for lighting your nightstand or reading nook, table lamps play an integral role in styling an inviting room. In the years before electricity, lamps used oil. Today, a rewired 19th-century vintage lamp can still provide a touch of elegance for a study.
After industrial milestones such as mass production took hold in the Victorian era, various design movements sought to bring craftsmanship and innovation back to this indispensable household item. Lighting designers affiliated with Art Deco, which originated in the glamorous roaring ’20s, sought to celebrate modern life by fusing modern metals with dark woods and dazzling colors in the fixtures of the era. The geometric shapes and gilded details of vintage Art Deco table lamps provide an air of luxury and sophistication that never goes out of style.
After launching in 1934, Anglepoise lamps soon became a favorite among modernist architects and designers, who interpreted the fixture as “a machine for lighting,” just as Le Corbusier had reimagined the house as “a machine for living in.” The popular task light owed to a collaboration between a vehicle-suspension engineer by the name of George Carwardine and a West Midlands springs manufacturer, Herbert Terry & Sons.
Some mid-century modern table lamps, particularly those created by the likes of Joe Colombo and the legendary lighting artisans at Fontana Arte, bear all the provocative hallmarks associated with Space Age design. Sculptural and versatile, the Louis Poulsen table lamps of that period were revolutionary for their time and still seem innovative today.
If you are looking for something more contemporary, industrial table lamps are demonstrative of a newly chic style that isn’t afraid to pay homage to the past. They look particularly at home in any rustic loft space amid exposed brick and steel beams.
Before you buy a desk lamp or table lamp for your living room, consider your lighting needs. The Snoopy lamp, designed in 1967, or any other “banker’s lamp” (shorthand for the Emeralite desk lamps patented by H.G. McFaddin and Company), provides light at a downward angle that is perfect for writing, while the Fontana table lamp and the beloved Grasshopper lamp by Greta Magnusson-Grossman each yield a soft and even glow. Some table lamps require lampshades to be bought separately.
Whether it’s a classic antique Tiffany table lamp, a Murano glass table lamp or even a bold avant-garde fixture custom-made by a contemporary design firm, the right table lamp can completely transform a room. Find the right one for you on 1stDibs.
