Several Gorgeous Collectible Accent Lamps That Are Small and Low Cost
For those who collect small accent lamps, there are four antique manufacturers and styles that really stand out. These four names are Murano glass from Italy, Waterford Crystal from Ireland, Capo di Monte porcelain from Italy and Tiffany Studio glass from the United States.
Of course, there are other popular glass and lamp manufacturers, but these names represent a solid cross-section of the antique market. To learn more about each of them, take a look below.
Table Lamps by Tiffany
The first Tiffany lamp sold by Tiffany Studios was in 1899. It was designed by the firm’s founder, Louis Comfort Tiffany. And though Tiffany Studios only remained in business and producing lamps until 1938, their original lamps will sometimes sell for a small fortune. For example, an early Tiffany lamp built by Tiffany himself recently auctioned for just over $8 million. Today, the lamps are copied en masse.
Most original Tiffany lamps can be grouped into one of seven categories. These categories are called Geometric, Irregular Upper, Lower Border, Transition to Flowers, Favrile and Geometric. The Transition to Flowers category can be further broken down into Flowered Cone shaped lamps and Flowered Globe shape lamps.
Murano Accent Lamps
The island Murano, just off the coast of Venice, has been home to highly skilled glass makers and craftsmen for centuries. The isle is known all over the world for its beautiful glass pieces, decorative jewelry, glass art, unique style and impeccable designs. Murano glass has also been used to make some of the world’s most beautiful lamps.
Pricing for accent lamps made from Murano glass can have a huge range with much of it depending on who was the final producer of the lamp, where it was put together, the grade of glass and whether it can be verified that it was made in Murano. That said, an authentic Murano table lamp that was fully manufactured in Murano can go for higher than $9500 for a pair.
Small Lamps by Capo di Monte
Capo di Monte was a porcelain factory that operated in Naples, Italy from 1743 until 1759. The factory then closed down for 12 years, after which it reopened near Madrid Spain and ran until 1834. Since then, the brand, porcelain molds and trademark are owned and used by the Doccia factory.
Though the Capo di Monte factory developed mostly kitchenware and pottery, the company also sold a number of decorative, small accent lamps. To buy an original Capo di Monte lamp will cost you between one hundred and one thousand dollars, though the price can vary wildly depending on the condition of the lamp and how easily its authenticity can be verified.
Accent Lamps by Waterford Crystal
Waterford Crystal, one of the world’s most famous crystal manufacturers, is based in Ireland and continues to make lamps today. Their trademark crystal lamps typically cost between two hundred and six hundred dollars for new, small accent lamps. That said, antique Waterford lamps have sold at auction for well over $500,000, making them a spectacular buy when available at lower prices.
