LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE WITH VINTAGE ART DECO TABLE LAMPS

We’ll never dismiss the appeal of Tiffany table lamps, but when it comes to Art Deco era lamps, there’s a world of options that have nothing to do with the hoard-wothy, patchworked stained glass table lamps that so often come to characterize the era. In fact, the majority of vintage Art Deco table lamps have little in common with Tiffany lamps at all, as Tiffany lamps actually take their influence from the proceeding Art Nouveau era.

In contrast to Art Nouveau era lamps, which generally feature curvaceous, whiplash forms, Art Deco table lamps are defined by symmetrical motifs and geometric patterns. Many designs closely resemble buildings from the same era. Do a side-by-side comparison and you’ll find both frequently integrated motifs like cascading or tiered silhouettes, as well as fan-like details and stepped forms.

Because electric light bulbs came of age around the same time as Art Deco style, Art Deco table lamps were among some of the first lamps to feature exposed bulbs—and as a result, lamp shades. Fabric shades were not exceedingly common in the day. Rather, frosted glass shades—many of them elaborately shaped and adorned with detailed etchings—were employed.

Art Deco table lamps can generally be grouped into three categories: early Art Deco table lamps, which span from about 1925 to the mid-1930s, late Art Deco lamps dating from about the late 1930s to mid-1940s, Art Deco revival lamps dating to the 1980s. Each category possesses its own unique set of traits and details, which delve further into below.
