Choose from an assortment of styles, material and more with respect to the antique Chinese lamp base you’re looking for at 1stDibs.

You’ve searched high and low for the perfect antique Chinese lamp base — we have versions that date back to the 18th Century alongside those produced as recently as the 20th Century are available. An antique Chinese lamp base, designed in the Hollywood Regency, Louis XV or Louis XVI style, is generally a popular piece of furniture.

How Much is a Antique Chinese Lamp Base?

An antique Chinese lamp base can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $1,850, while the lowest priced sells for $450 and the highest can go for as much as $6,450.

Finding the Right Table-lamps for You

Antique table lamps became a category of their own once electricity moved light off the wall and onto furniture. The form split quickly: task-driven designs like the Anglepoise on one side, decorative ceramic and glass on the other.

Styles to Know

Base material shapes the light as much as the shade does: ceramic and glass diffuse a softer glow, while brass and metal read more directional. Layer the look with a mid-century modern floor lamp for ambient light, or set a pair on a mid-century modern nightstand for a bedroom.

How to Choose the Right Vintage Table Lamp

Buying individually rather than as a pair allows more flexibility when mixing eras across a room. For those shopping by name rather than by shape, the history of the Anglepoise lamp is worth a read. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed, and the 1stDibs Promise stands behind every purchase.
