Handcrafted Mid Century Inspired Porcelain and Walnut Table Lamp

Located in Sharon, CT
Classic mid-century styling, Esther has a hand poured porcelain base with hand turned walnut neck and finial. The shade is made from a nubbly boucle. Nickel hardware, black cloth cord. Designed by Daniel Oates and Dana Brandwein in 2008. Handmade to order.
All electrical components are UL listed. Maximum 60 watt light bulb.
* Shown in vanilla bean glaze.
Dimensions
Lamp: 22" high with shade x approx 4.5" diameter base
Shade: 10" x 9" x 10"
About the glaze
We developed our own glaze recipes and mix them in small batches regularly. There will be variation. Our vanilla bean glaze is a semi-matte, almost satin finished white glaze with specs that remind us of vanilla bean ice-cream. Because this is a drippy glaze we dip the bottom of the lamp a few inches up with our snowflake to catch the drip. Our oyster glaze is a beautifully neutral cream colored gloss glaze that is quite drippy. You may see some layering drips and the bottom is dipped a few inches up with our glossy white glaze to keep the cream glaze from hitting the kiln shelf. Our indigo glaze is more technique than glaze. The first...

Odyssey Table Lamp, 3D-Printed Sand, Sculptural Organic, Unique Ambient Lighting
Located in ROTTERDAM, NL
This unique table lamp is part of the new and steadily evolving 'Orbital Collection'. Each item in the collection is made from sand, produced using a rare kind of particle bed 3D printing technology in Germany. The manufacturing process uses minimal resources - 3D printing with sand does not require high melting temperatures and therefore uses less energy than traditional means. The excess sand can also be recycled, minimizing waste and the overall footprint.
The inspiration for these pieces comes from a form language seen in the natural world as a result of particle collision and erosion by tidal forces or other weathering systems at play. On earth, these forces are mostly linear but in space, the irrational behavior of all kinds of cosmic forces sculpt orbital matter, prompting imagination for all kinds of intricate forms and structures that could exist in the process.
The structure of the piece allows light to penetrate through hidden openings and diffuse softly across the textured surfaces. As a composition of rolling curves, the outer form is carved out of the contours and accentuated. We like to think of light as a medium that can be shaped like its fluid; using surfaces as a source of emission and shadows to define depth.

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.
