Vintage Table Lamps

Vintage table lamps

I am of the opinion that every room should include something from the past, from another time period entirely, otherwise your room starts to look like a furniture store or something lacking soul. As we embark on refreshing the office, I would be remiss to not consider vintage table lamps. Lighting can be the jewelry of a room, and a vintage piece really highlights some of the more modern furniture selections in the way they interact with each other, making for a much more interesting room.

Vintage Furnishings

In the photos below, vintage finds used for modern life: the sofa in the first photo, lamps in the second, and chest and prints in the third.

The very existence of a vintage table lamp is proof of it’s good design. Lamps are too fragile to survive history unless treasured. The ones above (*Pinterest) vary in style, material and size, but all would play so nicely with the art in the room. 1stDibs is a fantastic place to hunt for vintage lamps, or anything you are looking for, really. I have found their search functions and filters to be very intuitive, the rating system of sellers valuable, and it truly is a one stop shop, with payment and shipping through their website.
