Late 19th Century Russian Brass Samovar Lamp
Located in Atlanta, GA
A remarkable fusion of history and function, this late 19th-century Russian brass samovar has been masterfully repurposed into a striking table lamp. Originally crafted as a traditional Russian tea urn, this piece bears intricate engravings, imperial hallmarks, and a beautifully aged patina, highlighting its authenticity and historical significance. The body of the samovar is adorned with elaborate Russian inscriptions and award medallions, indicating its prestigious origin. The markings reference Vasily Stepanovich Batashov, a renowned samovar manufacturer from Tula, Russia, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The engravings include the Russian Imperial Double-Headed Eagle, a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship, along with various medallions commemorating international exhibitions, dating as early as 1870 and 1883. This brass samovar features ornate scrolled handles, a pierced base for ventilation, and a decorative spigot with a foliate key, all indicative of Tsarist-era Russian metalwork. The square-footed base adds to its stability, while the polished brass surface showcases a warm patina, preserving its aged character. This historically significant and beautifully repurposed piece makes an exquisite addition to eclectic, classical, or antique-inspired interiors. Whether used as a statement lighting piece or admired for its rich cultural heritage, this samovar lamp...

Signed Gaspar Mascagni Alabaster Figural Lamp, Italian, c. 1900
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Rare antique Italian alabaster figural lamp signed by sculptor Gaspar Mascagni, circa early 20th century. This hand-carved neoclassical sculpture lamp features a seated maiden in flowing robes with intricate detail, softly illuminated by a domed alabaster globe. The translucent alabaster shade creates a warm, ambient glow when lit. A stunning example of Italian Art Nouveau/Art Deco crossover lighting, this piece exemplifies traditional Florentine craftsmanship and early electric-era sculpture lighting. Crafted in soft ivory-toned alabaster, the lamp stands approximately 34 inches tall. The figure is seated on a rock-form base with a visible artisan’s chisel work, bearing the signature “G Mascagni” incised on the rear. The lamp base shows natural wear consistent with age, including a small chip and a fine hairline on the shade. Original wiring should be updated for modern safety. This lamp is ideal for collectors of antique lighting, sculpture lamps, Italian decorative arts, and early 20th-century neoclassical décor.

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.
