  • French Vintage Pewter Table Lamp Base with Custom Linen Shade

    $985.00

    28.50"H x 12"W x 8"D

    Dimensions: 28 ½” H x 12” W x 8” D

    Polished in taste and patina, this vintage French pewter candlestick was converted to a small table lamp to illuminate a side table, or as a single bedside lamp. The dark gray metal is turned in rings and swells–very much in the Dutch or French tradition of an exciting silhouette–to play on shadow & light before tapering sharply into the gadrooned base. The deep well of the base might double as a kind of catchall or vide poche to save precious surface area. A custom linen shade in rectangular form (spotted on the interior with a few stains) diffuses the light from a standard base lightbulb with on/off switch below the socket. Professionally rewired for US electrical using UL listed parts this unique lamp is ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition as they are an essential part of the description.

    A luxurious vintage French table lamp from circa 1930, carved from figured green onyx as a Neoclassical column adorned with the requisite brass fittings at the capital and base.

Gold galloon (or galon) trim defines the top and bottom edges, with thin gold cord draped between the corners from which a small gold tassel hangs. A statement piece for any collector to illuminate a desk or side table, symbolising the worldly taste of the period, merging Empire grandeur with Bohemian decadence. Professionally cleaned and rewired for US electrical using UL-listed components, adding a gold braided cord with in-line switch to control a medium-base bulb.

Shop Vintage & Antique Table Lamps

Antique table lamps are the perfect additions to a home office table, reading nook, or bedside table. Lighting plays a significant role in a room’s design and illumination. Why settle for standard mass-produced lamps when you could select a well-crafted antique table lamp with intricate details and top-tier materials?

Table lamps create intimate lighting for small areas within a room. However, the right antique table lamp can complement a table in a way that makes a cohesive and exciting focal point in any room.

Though we purchase European antique lighting fixtures, our professional team thoroughly cleans them. We also ensure they are correctly wired according to U.S. electrical codes. Despite our restoration process, we maintain the authenticity of our 19th-century antique table lamps from England, France, Italy, and beyond.

Types of Antique Lamps

Antique table lamps don’t have to look dull or dowdy. Instead, table lamps have many styles and designs that make them engaging conversation starters.

For instance, France’s Art Nouveau-style antique lamps feature delicate floral embellishments and bronze hardware. Meanwhile, Art Deco lamps have tubular bodies made of brass with round shades that would look stunning on a desk. Colorful glass tulip-shaped lamp shades and German emeralite lamps can add a touch of sophistication and class to any room.

History of Antique Table Lamps

The use of table lamps extends far beyond the discovery of electricity. Before electrical wiring was commonplace, people used oil-fueled table lamps. However, our rewired 19th-century antique lamps contain modern wiring without reducing their traditional appeal, beauty, and durability.

Mass lighting fixture production during the Victorian era took away some of the classic charms of handcrafted table lamps. However, the Art Deco design from the 1920s revitalized table lamps by blending modern metals with wood in brilliant colors, gilded details, and geometric shapes.

Today, antique Art Deco table lamps and other styles like mid-century, decorative, and Art Nouveau floral lamps work well with any interior design. Whether you prefer a traditional aesthetic or like blending tradition with modern ideas, antique table lamps from Fireside Antiques can easily match your preferences.
