Sculptural Hand-Blown Glass Table Lamp, Murano Style, 1970s
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
Sculptural mid-century table lamp in thick hand-blown lead glass. The organically tooled form combines clear glass with a soft mauve layer, its irregular surface alive with bubbles and texture that catch and diffuse the light. In full working order. Likely produced in Mallorca during the 1960s–70s by a workshop such as Gordiola or Lafiore, this piece reflects the Mediterranean dialogue with Murano glassmaking—absorbing influences like textured rugiadoso finishes while asserting a bolder, more brutalist sensibility. A delicate mauve layer echos the Italian Murano glass sommerso technique while carrying the unmistakable weight and luminosity of Mallorcan lead glass. When illuminated, the lamp emits a warm, diffused light that feels both atmospheric and sculptural. Its open-backed form, retaining original continental wiring and inline switch, speaks to mid-century functionalism while serving as a luminous piece of glass art. About Gordiola and Lafiore, Mallorca Mallorca has been a center of glassmaking since at least the 18th century, when the Gordiola family established their workshop near Palma in 1719. Known for heavy, hand-blown vessels with vibrant Mediterranean color, Gordiola glass...

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.
