You’ve searched high and low for the perfect plaster lamp figural — we have versions that date back to the 20th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. A plaster lamp figural is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in
Mid-Century Modern,
Art Deco and
Hollywood Regency styles are sought with frequency. A well-made plaster lamp figural has long been a part of the offerings for many furniture designers and manufacturers, but those produced by

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.
