Vintage Danish Table Lamp from Kastrup Glass for Holmegaard
By Kastrup
Located in Søborg, DK
Vintage Danish table lamp by Kastrup glass for Holmegaard in blue hand blown glass from the 1960s.
Rewired with twisted black cloth flex and can be delivered with an EU UK or US plug.
The work was laid on 12 October 1847 by master of the stable Christian Conrad Sophus Count Danneskiold-Samsøe. In 1873 it was transferred to a limited company and in the same year Godthaab Glasværk near Helsingør (founded approx. 1858 by Mathias Jørgensen) was leased. This was definitively taken over in 1883, and in 1881 Tuborg Fabrikers Glasværk was bought, which was named Hellerup Glasværk. In the meantime, the count had disposed of the works in 1873. From 1907, the glass works were run in close collaboration with A/S De forenede Glasværker, Odense, and A/S Frederiksberg Glasværk, whose shares it took over. Under A/S De forenenede Glasværker belonged Fyns Glasværk, Odense, (founded 11 June 1874) and until 1907 Aarhus Glasværk, Århus, (founded 1898), which was then taken over by A/S Kastrup Glasværk. In 1918, the share capital in the glassworks in Aalborg was also acquired (founded in 1853 by chamberlain August Theodor Schütte, transferred to a limited company in 1905). In addition to Kastrup Glasværk, the company operated the following works: Hellerup Glasværk, De forenenede Glasværker i Odense and Aarhus Glasværk.
In 1892, the company had a large headquarters built at Nørre Voldgade 12 in Copenhagen by architect Philip Smidth. The building still bears the company's name.
The factory first had a large production of mouth-blown bottles, which were mechanized in 1912. Since then, mouth-blown drinking glasses, glassware, pocket larks, cheese bells...

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.
