Finding the Right Lighting for You
The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.
Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.
Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat.
Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.
As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.
There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation.
With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.
The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
Questions About Blue And White Porcelain Sconces
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Blue and white porcelain is often called Delftware, though there are many other types as well. This type of porcelain is so popular and has remained so over time because the blue pigment can withstand the high temperature needed to fire the pieces.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Chinese blue and white porcelain is the most common type of decorated porcelain. Its name in Chinese is qinghua. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique and modern Chinese blue and white porcelain from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Chinese blue and white porcelain is called qinghua, pronounced “CHING-hwa.” Artisans first began producing the porcelain during the Tang and Song dynasties ranging from 609 to 1279. However, the techniques the pottery is most well known for weren't developed until the subsequent Ming era, which lasted until 1644. You'll find a collection of Chinese porcelain on 1stDibs.
