There are many kinds of used tiffany lamps to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts and Art Deco used tiffany lamps are of considerable interest.

How Much are Used Tiffany Lamps?

The average selling price for at 1stDibs is $13,654, while they’re typically $79 on the low end and $575,000 highest priced.

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.

    Yes, Tiffany lamps and Tiffany jewelry are related. Tiffany & Co. was established in Connecticut in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young. Charles had launched the company’s famed catalogue, the Blue Book, and, with it, the firm’s signature robin’s-egg blue in 1845. In 1853, Tiffany and Young shifted their focus to fine jewelry. At the start of the Gilded Age, in 1870, Tiffany & Co. opened its flagship store at 15 Union Square West in Manhattan. While Tiffany & Co. gained renown all over the world for its designs for silver tableware, ceremonial silver and other objects, its jewelry was also a highly sought-after indicator of status and taste. Upon Charles’s death in 1902, his son Louis Comfort Tiffany took over artistic direction for the brand. Earlier, in 1885, Louis had founded the Tiffany Glass Company, a glassmaking firm, that began producing the lamps commercially in 1895. It evolved into Tiffany Studios in 1902. Louis brought his decorative eye inspired by nature to the Tiffany stained-glass lamps as well as organic jewelry designs. Explore a large collection of Tiffany lamps and Tiffany & Co. jewelry on 1stDibs.

    A genuine Tiffany lamp is quite expensive. It can cost anywhere between $4,000 to well over $1 million depending on how big it is and what year it was made.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    To identify a Tiffany table lamp, first take a close look at the base. Some pieces will bear a stamp or label that says, "Tiffany Studios," and newer lamps may also feature a serial number. By comparing the number and markings to information and images shared by trusted online resources, you can begin the identification process. If your lamp isn't marked, the base construction can provide more clues about the maker. Tiffany lamps usually feature bronze bases that feel weighty. Older models typically have a gray metal ring on their bottoms as well. In addition to examining the base, try turning the lamp on for a while and then touching the stained glass shade. Tiffany lamps tend to stay cool due to the thickness of the glass, so if yours feels hot, it may be the work of a different manufacturer. When in doubt, use the identification services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a collection of Tiffany lamps on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if a Tiffany lamp is valuable, first examine its features carefully. Its age, base, glass pattern, glass quality and overall condition will all play a role in determining its value. After you have a feel for the characteristics of your piece, you can investigate what similar lamps have sold for in the past at auctions and on online platforms. Another way to learn the value of your lamp is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer evaluate it. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Tiffany lamps.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The safest way to burn a kerosene lamp is outdoors, but if you do want to use one inside, opt for K-1 kerosene in an indoor-specific lamp. Do not burn red kerosene in an indoor lamp because the fumes from the red dye can be toxic to inhale.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell if a Tiffany lamp is real, flip it over to reveal the base and pull up the cap. If you see a dull gray ring, you likely have an authentic lamp. Real Tiffany pieces feature a lead ring. Replicas usually use brass, zinc, painted metal, wood or plastic instead of lead. Find a variety of expertly vetted Tiffany lamps on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    A Tiffany lamp costs between $4,000 to $1 million, on average. The most expensive Tiffany lamp sold at auction for $2.8 million. These lamps are so expensive because they are handmade and not mass produced.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
