Lighting Auction For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic lighting auction available at 1stDibs. A lighting auction — often made from metal, brass and glass — can elevate any home. If you’re shopping for a lighting auction, we have 125 options in-stock, while there are 32 modern editions to choose from as well. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer lighting auction, there are earlier versions available from the 18th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 21st Century. A lighting auction is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in mid-century modern, Art Nouveau and modern styles are sought with frequency. You’ll likely find more than one lighting auction that is appealing in its simplicity, but Louis Poulsen, Cesare Lacca and Jørn Utzon produced versions that are worth a look.

How Much is a Lighting Auction?

Prices for a lighting auction can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $45 and can go as high as $440,816, while the average can fetch as much as $1,904.

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.
