What are the most popular types of vintage lamps?
Vintage Table Lamps
Table lamps are typically used in rooms that need more light, in addition to the main source. An authentic, vintage table lamp can provide the task-oriented illumination you need to work or read.
However, you do not want the surface to be completely covered; be sure there is enough space on the table to accommodate your new lamp.
Floor Lamps
Floor lamps are typically between four and six feet tall, so in a room with average height ceilings, they can provide general illumination. Often found in home offices, libraries, and bedrooms, these lamps work well in uncrowded areas with plenty of floor space.
- Torchiere Lamps. While a normal floor lamp balances light both upwards and downwards, a torchiere lamp directs light up only. These glare-resistant lamps deliver a soft ambiance, which should be complemented by a source of general illumination in rooms that need to be well-lit.
- Bridge floor lamps. There are also bridge floor lamps, which have an ornamental base and adjustable hinged arm. Light is directed downwards, which works well in reading and entertainment rooms.
