Art Deco Lamps

Jump To Our Picks

Art Deco has been around for one hundred years, since the 1920s, but the style has transcended trends and become a popular classic. When it came into vogue, art deco styling was seen in everything from fashion to car design to interior design. It has bold and fluid lines and patterns, along with geometric and angular shapes. Art deco lamps often have clean aerodynamic lines with little detailing. Light fixtures with shades were made of etched glass or chrome with fanned-out shapes that hid the bulbs.

Set of Two Art Deco Lamps

Set of Two Art Deco Lamps

This set of two Art Deco lamps come with white linen lampshades that are 18" wide by 9.5" deep by 10.25" high. Once set on the lamp base, each lamp measures 29.5" tall and weighs 11 lbs. The lamps each come with dual USB ports in the base for charging smartphones and other devices.

Designer Advice:

The luxe gold finish on these Art Deco table lamps add glamor to any setting. Each lamp base has geometric lines that resemble a skyscraper. Continue the look with streamlined furnishings and more metallic details. No need to simply stick to gold — bring in black marble, chrome, glass and mirrored surfaces. By subtly repeating the angles from the lamp base throughout the room, you'll create a sophisticated and elegant setting.

Sculptural Art Deco Lamps

Sculptural Art Deco Lamps

Design Toscano

Peacock feathers cast in a sparkling crystalline resin make up the shade portion on these two Art Deco lamps. The torch holder is finished in antique gold with a stylized bird's body as part of the base. Each of the lamps is 28.5" tall and 12" in diameter.

Designer Advice:

These vintage Art Deco lamps are made with the era's sweeping curves and peacock feathers. Repeat the jewel-tone blues and greens in other parts of the room. Use the colors in drapery banding and on a few accent cushions. If you want to make a big and bold statement, find a large framed art print with a sweeping peacock tail or a stylized version of the feathers.

Designer Advice:

Another classic of the Art Deco era, this vintage bedside lamp is modern. The base provides a three-in-one wireless system and a sliding dimmable scale. The lamp also has a high-quality integrated Bluetooth speaker built into the shade portion of the lamp.

Buying Guide

Antique Art Deco is one of the most recognizable styles from the past. With an affinity for geometric shapes, cubism, and futurism, items that are antique art deco-styled are still very attractive for many homeowners, including lamps!

Keep in mind that choosing the right antique art deco lamp that's right for your situation can be a tricky task. Not only is the plethora of choices really confusing, but there are also critical factors that you need to be aware of. To help you make the shopping task enjoyable, this article is going to be a buying guide.

When shopping for an antique art deco lamp, you will usually run into lamps that are either a real antique or just antique-looking.

  • Antique-looking is a new piece that's been designed and crafted to have an appearance of being old. The advantage of antique-looking is that you are sure about the build quality. After all, it's a new item. It's also more affordable than a real antique. However, antique-looking does not carry the real antiques' authenticity, history and value appreciation.
  • A real antique comes with a lot of history, and it comes with authenticity. In essence, it's not a "fake" item. If you are shopping for a real antique art deco lamp, keep in mind that you have a lot of factors to consider in order to avoid buying something that is fake. For example, you need to assess the condition. You also need to know how to appraise an antique. Also, most of the times, knowing who to trust is more important than the item.

At the end of the day, you are still buying a lamp. Hence, you will need to know more about lamps so you'll know what to get. In interior design, lighting can be either ambient or task.

Ambient lighting is for providing general illumination, while task lighting is for providing you with light to help with a particular task (i.e. reading, drawing, drafting). The general characteristic of ambient lighting is it tends to project light upwards and sideways.

On the other hand, task lighting primarily projects lighting downwards. Hence, before you shop for an antique art deco lamp, you need to know what kind of lighting you are looking for. This is because lamps that are excellent at ambient lighting does a poor job at task lighting, and vice versa.

Of course, some lamps can do both. However, these kinds of lamp often fall into the "jack of all trades, master of none" situation.

You also have the option of buying either a floor lamp or table lamp.

  • A floor lamp often works well in communal areas of the house like the living room. Since floor lamps are also larger than table lamps, they are commonly used as ambient lighting.
  • Table lamps are often used for creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. Hence, it's the primary choice for the private areas of the house like bedrooms. Also, table lamps are often excellent for task lighting.
