We started with a standard ceramic retro table lamp design that would sit at either end of the sideboard. The process of searching threw up a large variety of lamp stands with endless detail work or lovely paintwork, or both, to choose from. We then adjusted our preference for matching table lamps to unmatching pieces preferring the imbalance it created as well as the chance to buy two pieces.

We also discovered Tiffany table lamps and that gave us the whole stained glass retro table lamps to choose from. The stained glass table lamps definitely made a statement in the room but we felt that they were somewhat overwhelming for a small dining room.

Atomic table lamps, gourd table lamps and even space age innovative chrome table lamps are all options that can be considered for this type of room.

It’s not surprising that the entire mood of the room changes depending on the sort of retro lamp that is on display. The type of lamp shade and the strength of light it allows helps create the atmosphere. Choosing a suitable retro table lamp is not a decision to take lightly.

Table lamps might be seen as the more decorative type of lamp, perhaps used for some armchair reading but typically just to add more light to a room. In the case of tiffany style table lamps, it is easy to see how these types of lamps can also be used as a decorative piece by day.

Desk lamps on the other hand have a more definite function as they are used to provide light for tasks (and therefore are used for task lighting). Ideally used for work such as computer work, studying, typing etc. Desk lamps and study lamps are synonymous as these can either be placed on a desk, or can be fitted or connected to a shelf or other piece of the furniture nearby.
Usually these are fixed using a clasp or clamp.

Clamp-on task lights occupy very little of the precious desk space but tend to only really fit properly/adjust properly in a limited number of places. Many desk lamps come with an adjustable or bendable neck which allows the light source to be twisted around and aimed at an angle that most suits the person who is working.

Also, desk lamps tend to be more functional looking and are just one color, made from plastic/metal and quite plain. But they tend to be quite cleverly engineered to allow them to be bent into many different positions and angles easily and usually with one hand and a light touch and they also need to have quite a heavy base and be sturdy so that they do not tip over easily.

Table lamps and lighting are available in a huge range of styles, designs and sizes. It is not uncommon for the purely decorative table lamps to have intricately adorned lamp bases carved out of expensive materials such as marble. By virtue of being decorative, table lamps lend themselves to much personal design taste because they serve as ornamental objects as well.

Table lamps also provide a nice source of light with which to highlight objects that are placed near the lampshade and effectively bask in the light of the lamp.

One thing to look out for when purchasing a table lamp is that there should be no glare emanating from the lamp and this is best checked when you are seated, given that most table lamps are placed on a table beside an armchair. Pay particular attention to the lamp height and also to the accompanying lampshade – as a fairly deep shade is needed to avoid glare.

It is possible to coordinate the lampshade of your table lamps with the fabric and furnishings of your room and there are companies that make shades professionally if you want the lamp shade fabric to closely match the rest of the decor in the room.

Task or desk lighting on the other hand will tend to be more functional looking and plain. Nothing fancy or decorative about that.

Commonly, most types of modern task lights tend to be tungsten-halogen lights that come with a dimmer.

There are two very nice things about table lamps these days. The first is that when walking into a room, one of the first things people tend to notice is the source of light. When you turn on a table lamp the eye immediately goes towards it because that’ s where the brightness is coming from. The second nice thing about table lamps is that their cost to consumers is always lowering, not going up

Some of these names will be familiar such as “Famille Jaune”, or, the yellow family of glazes in which yellow is the predominant colour, “Famille Noir”, or the black family of coloured glazes, “Famille Rose”, or the pink family of colours and “Famille Verte”, the green range of glazes.

One of the most popular of these monochromes, or, single coloured glazes is   Sang de Boeuf as named by the French, or, literally, ox – blood.  Most names for colours, as used in China, were derived from nature, in this case resembling the coagulation of ox–blood.

This colour range of red glazes was developed throughout long period of the Ch’ing dynasty (1644 – 1912), the basis of the colour derived from copper.

Sang de Boeuf is found in a broad range of reds, from pale, known as Peach Bloom and on to a palette of rich dark reds.

The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co currently has a collection of several large examples of Chinese Sang de Boeuf lamps ranging from the mid 19th to the mid 20th century.  

This strong dark red colour works beautifully with interiors across classic and modern classic to traditional and being a single colour, is at home in any colour scheme.

Some of these lamps are mounted on elegant, French ormolu, in 18th century style, some on gold plated bronze stands and on custom turned, water gilded, maple wood stands.
