Antique Desk Lamp

Do you currently have an antique desk lamp in your home? Look around any house or apartment today and you will find a number of desk or table lamps in a wide variety of different styles, colors and finishes.

Although we use the term 'desk lamp', small lamps which fall into this category have a wide range of uses these days. For example, in addition to providing lighting for your desk, lamps of this type can be used for general lighting in just about any room in the house including the lounge, bedroom, kitchen and even the bathroom.

Desk lamps have been around for many years now and although today there is a huge range of modern lights available across the price range from about $10 up to $1,000 or more, there is something about the old fashioned or antique desk lamp which appeals to a very wide audience.

The classic brass banker's lamp with its wonderful green glass shade for example is one of my favorites and as a desk lamp it functions just as well as any modern table lamp.

The Reproduction Antique Desk Lamp

When we talk about antique lamps these days we are of course talking not just about a genuine antique table lamp which you can pick up in specialist shops and at auction, but are also talking about a style of modern, generally metal, quality reproduction lamp with a base and shade which give you the look and feel of the real thing at a price which puts it within everybody's reach.

Reproduction antique lamps, such as the wonderful Tiffany lamps with their exquisite shades, can be found in almost all good lighting stores and often made to incorporate many of the features which you would expect to see in a modern lamp. For example, many will incorporate a modern safety switch, make use of an energy saving light bulb and are be adjustable so that you are able to alter such things as the height of the lamp and the angle of the shade.

So, if you are out shopping for furniture, don't restrict yourself to modern design lighting but look around for a wonderful antique desk lamp which will give your room that special look and feel.

Customer Review: The lamp works fine as a piano lamp, looks nice. I wish the lamp shade would rotate further so that the light does not shine in my eyes while I'm playing. Also, the base does not adjust very much. We have a tall upright and I'd like to angle it down ...
