Classic Baldwin Brass Lamp

A vintage piece from the 1990s, this Baldwin lamp has a warm brass base and a deep black shade. It measures 23 inches tall and 13 inches wide and is in good condition, aside from a few spots on the shade's interior.

Designer Advice:

The classic look of this lamp would look gorgeous on a mahogany console table. Mahogany always complements gold and brass shades. For a decadent look, place your lamp on a table next to a black leather sofa. Make sure to add small details like ochre or mustard cushions, as they accentuate and complement the brass hardware.

Made in America in the 1980s, this brass lamp is in good vintage condition aside from a small tear to the shade. The shade has a black finish with a subtle sheen and can be conveniently adjusted in height.

Designer Advice:

As you can adjust the height of the shade, you can use it for different things depending on the levels of light you want. We love that the base raises up slightly to create a lip effect. Match this lamp with a cream sofa for a modern luxe look. It would look even more luxurious if you added braided cushions.

Rectangular Brass Lamp

Originating from the 1990s, this lamp has a solid brass finish with no major marks aside from pitting on the base. It has a black rectangular lampshade that is embellished by scroll detailing at the base. It features the original wiring. 

Designer Advice:

Though the rectangular shape of this lamp's shade may give it a modern geometric look, the scroll detail means it still looks vintage. The brass is warm-toned with a golden undertone, so we recommend decorating your room with warm colors like cream and beige. Accentuate the scrollwork detail with embroidered cushions or bedding, depending on where your lamp is.

Vintage from before the 2000s, this Baldwin lamp features a traditional design. Measuring 25 inches tall and approx. 9.75 inches wide, it does have some wear and tear. It does not include a shade, though you can use the original ring to guide you.

Designer Advice:

This lamp is full of charm. It would look beautiful in a study due to its rounded base, which gives the illusion of traditional candlelight. You can choose your own shade, which adds an element of customization. However, as it does not come with a shade, you'll need to consider dimensions and shapes when searching.

Buying Guide

Baldwin brass lamps come with a lot of history as they are one of the first companies in the United States to master metal. Aside from that, most Baldwin brass lamps are a work of art. These are just a few of the many reasons why Baldwin brass lamps are sought after by homeowners.

Keep in mind that Baldwin brass lamps come in many different shapes, styles, and sizes. Each of the lamps has a specialty, and it's best that you buy the one that is a perfect fit for your situation. This article is going to help you with that.

Lamps are often categorized into either for ambient lighting or task lighting.

  • If you are looking for a lamp with the primary purpose of illuminating the room, then what you are looking for is ambient lighting.
  • If the reason that you're buying a lamp is because you need a light for reading purposes or doing some other task, then what you are looking for is task lighting.

Although some lamps can do both, they're generally inefficient choices as they are either more expensive, they only do an "okay" job at being a task or ambient lighting or both. When purchasing a Baldwin brass lamp, you must first determine which one of the two you want or need.

Because the primary purpose of ambient lighting is to provide general lighting, the lampshade is designed to allow the light to escape sideward and upwards. Hence, the lampshade should be translucent and should not block the light.

Another factor to consider is the shape of the lampshade. Generally, you'd want a shape that allows light to be redirected upwards. Thus, your best choices would fall into an upside-down cone or drum shape.

As mentioned above, task lighting lamp is designed to provide you with light when you are reading, drafting or doing some other task. The light should be blocked from going out the sides and should be redirected towards the bottom.

Thus, you'd want a lampshade that comes with a black color on the outside and a shiny and reflective material on the inside.

When choosing the right shape, your best options are empire, coolie and bell-shaped.

The height of the lamp is another essential factor that you need to get right. There are a couple of methods to determine the right height, but one of the simplest is the eye-level rule.

The idea behind the eye-level rule is straightforward. You just need to make sure that the bottom part of the lampshade is lower when compared to your eye level. The eye-level rule ensures that you don't have a direct line of sight with the bulb. Otherwise, the glare or the brightness may be uncomfortable or painful to the eyes.

Knowing if you should get an ambient or task lighting lamp and determining the right height are among the first things you need to take care of to ensure you get the right Baldwin brass lamp for your home.
