Tony Paul for Westwood Brass & Ebonized Walnut Table Lamps, A Pair, 1950s
Located in Culver City, CA
Prepare to be mesmerized by this jaw-dropping pair of Tony Paul table lamps—truly, the finest example of his design brilliance I’ve ever seen. These lamps are seriously something special, and they come with a history as glamorous as their aesthetic, having once belonged to a member of the Getty family. Yes, those Gettys.
Standing an impressive 25" tall (and even taller with their shades), these conical beauties are crafted from solid ebonized walnut paired with Swedish brass. The base of the lamp starts wide at the bottom, with several inches of the trunk wrapped in gleaming brass. Then—surprise!—the rich, black walnut peeks through as it tapers upward, leading to an astronomical moment: a brass ellipsis that balloons out like a planetary orbit. Honestly, it's a sight to behold, like some celestial dance of design. As the brass curves inward, the cone tapers out again, returning to that striking ebonized walnut neck. The contrast between the bold black wood and the glowing brass is absolutely chef’s kiss—it’s the kind of design that screams "luxury" even if you’re not well-versed in the world of high-end lighting.
Topping these celestial wonders are 11" tall x 15.75" in diameter ivory lampshades, perfectly completing the look with their understated elegance. Oh, and don’t miss the brass finials at the top—they’re the cherry on top of this mid-century modern masterpiece. The lamps come with their original harps too, making them ready to steal the scene in any room they’re placed in.
As for condition? Both lamps show a beautiful patina on their brass—one of the ellipses has a bit more than the other (as seen in the photos), but honestly, that just means it's been loved a little more. They still make a fabulous pair, and their vintage character only adds to their charm.
Now, let’s talk about Tony Paul—the genius behind these lamps. A true icon of mid-century design, Paul was known for his clean, minimalist approach that perfectly balanced form and function. Whether working with wood, metal, or glass, his designs always had a certain warmth and elegance that made them stand out. His work ranged from furniture to lighting, but it’s his lighting designs that really defined the mid-century aesthetic. He had a knack for combining organic materials with sleek, modern lines, which made his pieces both timeless and versatile.
Paul collaborated with several companies throughout his career, but one of his most notable partnerships was with Westwood Industries, a leading lighting manufacturer of the time. Known for producing high-quality lighting that exemplified the mid-century modern aesthetic, Westwood became the perfect platform for Paul to showcase his talent. Westwood lamps, like these, were crafted with an eye for both detail and durability, often using premium materials like Swedish brass and fine hardwoods, making them highly sought-after by collectors today.
These lamps are not just lighting—they’re art, they’re history, they’re conversation pieces waiting to transform your space. Whether you’re a mid-century modern purist or just someone who appreciates incredible design, these Tony Paul lamps...

French Vintage Ceramic Table Lamp by Roger Capron, 'circa 1950s'
By Roger Capron
Located in London, GB
French decorative ceramic lamp with hand-painted horse by Roger Capron (circa 1950s). This is Capron's 'Coupe n°2 lamp' which is signed in the interior of the vertical base. A rare piece indeed, hand-painted with a stylised horse in his inimitable style. The ceramic is in fair overall condition showing some fading and marks commensurate with age and usage. This is an exceptional piece for admirers of the works of master ceramicist, Roger Capron. Signed: 'Capron Vallauris'. Lampshade shown in photos is 30 cm (11.8") in diameter and will be included when requested. Currently wired for usage in the UK but you can have it adapted to your location. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video can be provided.
About the Artist: The mid-century ceramic art of Roger Capron (1922-2006) embodied the vibrant spirit and verve of Vallauris and the French Côte d'Azur. He took over an abandoned pottery studio at the age of 24 in Vallauris, where he worked with Robert Picault and then Jean Derval. Capron’s ceramic workshop, known as "l'Atelier Callis", contributed to the renaissance of ceramics in Vallauris and at its peak employed over 120 ceramicists. He eventually expanded his production of vases, pitchers and other functional wares to include coffee tables with hand glazed tiles, lamp bases, wall plaques and other interior decor objects along with sculptural statues...

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.
