Tiffany Studios New York "Nautilus" Table Lamp With "Mermaid" Base
Located in New York, NY
In Tiffany Studios' exquisite "Nautilus" table lamp, a cast bronze mermaid emerges from a churning sea, holding a lighted nautilus shell aloft. This lamp, one of the few patented by Tiffany Studios, received its patent on May 2, 1899, and was featured in Siegfried Bing’s landmark Louis Comfort Tiffany exhibition at the Grafton Galleries. The mermaid base was sculpted by Louis Gudebrod, the only lamp base artist credited by Tiffany Studios. The nautilus shell motif, prominent in European decorative arts of the 17th century, originated from Dutch ships that transported the shells from the South China Sea, some 15,000 miles away. These shells showcased the Dutch Republic's global mercantile strength, and Dutch painters often featured them in still-life works—many of which are now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection. Inspired by this artistic tradition, Tiffany transformed the iridescent shell into a table lamp. The shell softened and modulated the light, similar to the effect of Tiffany's Favrile glass shades, creating a warm glow reminiscent of the gas lighting familiar to the era. Item #: L-21744 Artist: Tiffany Studios New York Country: United States Circa: 1899 Dimensions: 17.5" height, 4.75" width, 8" deep. Materials: Nautilus shell, Bronze Base Signed: GUDEBROD and Tiffany Studios New York Literature: Alastair Duncan, "Tiffany Lamps and Metalware", Woodbridge, Suffolk, 2007, pg. 86, fig. 336. Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: The shape of the exotic nautilus, found in the western Pacific, has long been the muse of architects, artists, and designers. One only has to look to Grecian columns, to spiral staircases, or to the nautilus cups of the sixteenth century for examples. Louis Comfort Tiffany's glass interpretation of the "Nautilus" shell design was first displayed at the Paris Exposition Universelle 1900, where he was displaying the best lamps that he had to offer. By bringing this intricate and difficult-to-make model to the World's Fair, Tiffany was showing the international design world just how well-made and beautiful a Tiffany Studios New York lamp...

Spanish Mid-Century Teruel Green Ceramic Table Lamp — Mudéjar Revival
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
Lovingly hand-crafted by Amitābha Studio from a vintage Punter Teruel vase in a baluster form, this lamp exemplifies the richness of Spanish Revival design paired with mid-century artistry. The rounded body rises gracefully to a tall neck, its surface coated in a creamy tin glaze and painted freehand in the distinctive loza verdimorada palette of green and manganese black. This striking chromatic language, unique to Teruel ceramics, traces directly back to the medieval Mudéjar traditions of Aragón, where similar motifs once adorned both domestic tablewares and the city’s iconic glazed towers. The decoration is arranged in framed compartments across the body: a heraldic lion, a stylized bird, and geometric devices executed in bold black linework. Along the lower register runs a rhythmic frieze of pinecone medallions, a traditional symbol of abundance and vitality. The motifs, painted with expressive brushwork, exemplify the revival style pioneered by Domingo Punter and his contemporaries, who reinterpreted medieval patterns with modern fluidity. At the foot, the reddish terracotta clay is revealed, inscribed with the bold mark “PUNTER,” confirming the piece’s authenticity. To balance the ceramic base, Amitābha Studio has paired the lamp with a custom lampshade in a green, black, and white tweed weave. The textured fabric recalls couture textiles, while the double-cord passementerie trim by Houlès adds refinement. When lit, the lamp casts a warm, inviting glow that emphasizes its sculptural silhouette and intricate surface design. This Spanish Revival lamp...

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.
