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 Mirror With Sconces
- What is a plug in sconce?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Plug-in sconce is a light fixture that is attached to a wall but has an external cord that must be plugged directly into a wall outlet. It has a switch at the fixture. It is much easier and less expensive to install than hard-wired sconces, but the trade-off is that the cord hangs down and is visible. On 1stDibs, find a variety of vintage and modern plug-in sconces.
- Why is it called a sconce?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024A light that hangs on a wall is called a sconce due to its linguistic history.

On 1stDibs, explore a selection of sconces.
- Where do you hang sconces?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 20191stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021For hanging wall sconces, you should measure between 60”-70” from the floor. If you plan on installing multiple sconces traditionally they are spaced 6’ apart.

- Are sconces still in style?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Although trends in lighting design do come and go over time, sconces generally remain in style.

- What is a plug in wall sconce?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A plug-in wall sconce is perfect for upgrading the lighting of the room without investing in hardwired fixtures.

Shop a range of antique and vintage plug-in wall sconces on 1stDibs.
- What is a Venetian mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 21, 2020
While polished metal mirrors have existed since ancient times, glass Venetian mirrors are thought to have first been produced on the Venetian island of Murano, in Italy, beginning in the 1500s (some research points to 1300 for Venetian mirrors). Set in ornate frames frequently bedecked with gold highlights or floral leaf designs, Venetian glass mirrors were handmade by artisans using refined, expert techniques for royalty and for members of the upper class. By the 17th century, Venetian mirrors were in high demand. Because antique Venetian glass mirrors are still very popular today, there are many knockoffs on the market. Today’s authentic Venetian mirrors are still produced only on the island of Murano.
- What is a trumeau mirror?1 Answer
- Can mirrors be shipped?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, mirrors can indeed be shipped.

- How old is the mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024The mirror is more than 6,000 years old. Early examples made of polished obsidian rather than glass date back to 4000 B.C. Handheld glass mirrors became popular in ancient Greece during the 5th century B.C. Find a diverse assortment of mirrors from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- When were mirrors invented?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024Mirrors were invented in ancient times. The earliest known human-made reflective surfaces date back to 4000 B.C., when artisans polished obsidian to a mirror-like finish. By the 5th century A.D., the Greeks had mastered the art of producing handheld mirrors for the purpose of grooming. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of mirrors.
- What is a pocket mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A pocket mirror is a small personal grooming accessory used to check your appearance or apply makeup while traveling. It is usually round and has a hinged lid. Some also hold pressed powder or foundation. This type of pocket mirror is sometimes called a compact. On 1stDibs, shop a range of pocket mirrors.
- What is a bevelled mirror?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A bevelled mirror is a type of mirror with edges that are cut to look as if the mirror has a framed-edge around it. This process makes the edges around the mirror thinner than the ¼” thickness of the mirror's middle portion.
