FAQs

Art Deco table lamps, originating in the 1920s and 1930s, are characterised by geometric forms, streamlined silhouettes, and figurative motifs such as dancers or athletes. They often feature contrasting materials, combining polished metals with frosted or enamelled glass shades.

Craftspeople during the Art Deco era frequently utilised chrome-plated metals, nickel, brass, and bronze for structural bases. Shades were typically fashioned from moulded opal glass, etched glass, or spherical globes.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-accurate wiring or conversion marks, cast metal weight, hand-finished joints, and specific manufacturer stamps or foundry marks. The quality of chrome plating and heavy glass shades also distinguishes period items from modern reproductions.

Position the lamp on a minimalist sideboard, executive desk, or bedside table to serve as a focal point. Combining chrome elements with dark wood veneers or monochromatic decor accents enhances the geometric lines of the era.

Dust chrome surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and clean glass globes using a mild glass cleaner applied directly to the cloth rather than the fixture. Avoid abrasive polishes or aggressive chemicals that can strip electroplated finishes.
