Old Antique Table Lamps For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of old antique table lamps for sale on 1stDibs. Each of these unique old antique table lamps was constructed with extraordinary care, often using ceramic, porcelain and metal. Old antique table lamps have been produced for many years, with earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. Old antique table lamps made by Neoclassical designers — as well as those associated with Arts and Crafts — are very popular at 1stDibs. There have been many well-made old antique table lamps over the years, but those made by Old Paris, Edward F. Caldwell & Co. and Gien are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much are Old Antique Table Lamps?

Old antique table lamps can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $1,670, while the lowest priced sells for $395 and the highest can go for as much as $5,800.

Finding the Right Table-lamps for You

Antique table lamps became a category of their own once electricity moved light off the wall and onto furniture. The form split quickly: task-driven designs like the Anglepoise on one side, decorative ceramic and glass on the other.

Styles to Know

Base material shapes the light as much as the shade does: ceramic and glass diffuse a softer glow, while brass and metal read more directional. Layer the look with a mid-century modern floor lamp for ambient light, or set a pair on a mid-century modern nightstand for a bedroom.

How to Choose the Right Vintage Table Lamp

Buying individually rather than as a pair allows more flexibility when mixing eras across a room. For those shopping by name rather than by shape, the history of the Anglepoise lamp is worth a read. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed, and the 1stDibs Promise stands behind every purchase.

Questions About Old Antique Table Lamps

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To fix an old table lamp, take it to an appliance or lighting repair shop that has experience working with the type of fixture that you have. Many problems can cause an old table lamp to stop working. A professional can determine the cause and use the correct tools to address it. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage table lamps.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Yes. Most table lamps accept standard harp and finial sizes, so a replacement shade can update the look without altering the base.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Stick to the wattage noted in the listing, typically 40 to 60 watts for standard incandescent-equivalent bulbs, to avoid overheating older wiring.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2026
    Many vintage lamps are rewired before sale, but always check the listing description; a licensed electrician can inspect and rewire older cords as a precaution.
