At the end of a busy day, we need down time to relax and put our feet up. To acheive that state, we need a soft, low level of light and a table lamp is the way to find it.
Bright overhead halogen light is fine, in an office, car park or airport but definitely not in that favourite room!
You may have noticed that everything looks better by lamp light, including people! It was Oscar Wild, that intrepid observer of life (and flatterer) who said, "Every woman is beautiful by candle light".
The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co offer a range of quality antique and vintage lamps to provide that soft, discreet room lighting with each lamp, a decorative and functional element. From an interior design perspective, lamps will and can instantly remodel a room by adding atmosphere, depth and texture to an interior.
Our homes are expressions of ourselves and we need atmosphere in which we feel most comfortable and at-home. Table lamp lighting is all about atmosphere and mood, where lighting is subtle, with lamps positioned for reading, watching T.V, soft light for that pleasant dinner party, or, just to relax and recharge.
The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co is a boutique company which has a very specific focus on presenting one of-a kind table lamps, each one is unique and can never be found at a friend’s home and, of course, makes our home unique.
Interior lighting, being such an important element of our lives, can be seen as the foundation of an interior with a multiple of benefits on offer. High end lamps fulfill not only the need for lighting, but serve as an artistic expression and lamps, with their ability to "come to life" with light, perfectly fulfill this need and remember, antique lamps ad value over time.
When we have achieved that "look" we have striven for, you may notice, that each time we illuminate the room; there is just that moment of wonder, that emotional response to "seeing the light".
The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co specialise in antique table lamp lighting with an on-line range of over 100 unique, antique and vintage lamps on view.
Lamps are shipped ready wired for the U.S, the U.K and Australia.

The Timeless Elegance of Blanc de Chine Porcelain Lamps
Blanc de Chine porcelain, with its serene white to cream hues and minimalist design, not only illuminates our homes but also brings a sense of tranquility and timeless elegance. This type of porcelain, which originated in China's Fujian province, has been a symbol of sophistication and adaptability, seamlessly fitting into both classic and contemporary interiors. An 18th-century Blanc de Chine lamp, with its simple "sleeve vase" shape and creamy glaze, exemplifies the understated style that has made these antiques highly sought after by collectors and decorators alike.
Chinese Imari - From the 18th to The 21st century
When speaking of oriental porcelain we normally associate the name "Imari" with Japan, but there is also a Chinese Imari! Production began in 1700 and continues to this day.
Antique Lamps - In Peking Glass
Glass had been made in China since 700 BC , but in 1696 everything changed, thanks to snuff!
