How Much is a Bohemian Crystal Lamp?
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.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Bohemian crystal is also referred to as Bohemian glass and is considered to be very high-quality, made with skilled craftsmanship and very attractive.

- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, Bohemian crystal is good quality, according to many collectors. Bohemian crystal is a potash-lime glass with a distinctively heavy feel and high luster. Bohemia is now part of the Czech Republic and has a history of glass that dates to the 13th century, although it was only in the early 1700s that it became well-known across Europe for its glassmaking. It was in the 18th century that Bohemian crystal was invented; it quickly drew international interest for its elaborate ornamentation. Glassmaking in Bohemia continued to develop over the decades, from Lithyalin glass that mimicked semiprecious stones in the 19th century to the innovative abstraction of Bohemian glass artists following World War II. Shop a variety of Bohemian crystal on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if a piece is Bohemian crystal, first look for markings. Although the labels used by Bohemian glassworks have evolved over the years, most pieces have markings that read "Bohemia" and some variation on the words "Made in Czechoslovakia" or "Czechoslovakia." Often, markings appear on paper and foil labels, which may not survive on older pieces. If you can't find a marking, examine your piece closely for visible seams, which indicate that the item is pressed, not blown, and therefore unlikely to be genuine Bohemian crystal. You can also try striking the side of the object with the handle of a butter knife. Genuine Bohemia crystal produces a sustained ringing sound when struck, while other types of glassware may not. Should you have difficulty identifying your piece, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer who can help you determine if your crystal is Bohemian. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Bohemian crystal.
