Vintage lighting

Light is the fastest way to change how a room feels, and a vintage lamp does it while doubling as sculpture. Right now Whoppah carries 17,808 vintage lighting pieces: pendants, floor lamps, table lamps, wall lights and chandeliers. The 1960s and 1970s take the lead, which means plenty of space-age forms in chrome and opal glass, alongside mid-century brass and a burst of Memphis colour from the 1980s.

Louis Poulsen and Flos are the names collectors search for first, joined by Artemide, Mazzega, Peill & Putzler and Hans-Agne Jakobsson. Designer filters surface work by Ingo Maurer, Vico Magistretti and Jan des Bouvrie, while the Murano glass of Mazzega and the layered ice glass of Peill & Putzler show how much craftsmanship went into lighting in that period. Metal, glass, brass, aluminium and chrome are the materials you will see most.

Buy vintage lighting

Vintage lighting has a used look such as lacquer that contains scratches, metals such as copper or iron where rust should not be missing or wood with traces of use. The colors black, white or bright striking shades are no problem at all. Hanging lamps, ceiling lamps, table lamps, wall lamps, standing lamps and so on!

Some things to consider before purchasing vintage lighting include the following:

  • The first thing to consider when buying vintage lighting is size. Vintage lighting can be small and compact, or large and elaborate.

  • Buying vintage lighting is a process that requires careful consideration of your needs and preferences. It's best to find out as much as you can about what kind of fixtures are available before making a purchase, so you'll find something that fits well with your taste and decor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is vintage lighting?

Vintage lighting is a lighting style that has been around for a while. The term "vintage" is used to describe the idea of something old, from the past and not new. Vintage lighting reminds you of the sixties, seventies or eighties. A vintage lamp is guaranteed to add flair to your interior. Vintage lighting can officially call itself vintage if it is at least 25 years old. As far as lamps are concerned, it is best to look at items from the 1900s to 1970s. During this time, a lot of attention was paid to high quality.

What does vintage lighting cost?

The price of vintage lighting can vary enormously, it depends on what kind of vintage lighting you want. On Whoppah you can find a large collection of vintage lighting. In addition, the size, material, rarity, age and of course the popularity of the lamp determine the price of the vintage lighting.

Are vintage lamps safe to use with modern bulbs and wiring?

Most vintage lamps work perfectly with modern LED bulbs, which also run cooler and protect old shades. Check the listing for the fitting type, usually E27 or E14 in Europe. Wiring from the 1960s and 1970s can become brittle, so budget for a rewire by an electrician if the seller has not already done so. Many sellers mention recent rewiring in the description; ask if it is not stated.

How do I spot a genuine Louis Poulsen or Flos lamp?

Louis Poulsen stamps or labels the inside of the shade or the top of the canopy, and later pieces carry a sticker with the model name. Flos marks the base or the switch housing and often includes the designer's name. Compare proportions with the official model, since copies are frequently slightly off. Request photos of the markings before bidding, and remember that our curators have already reviewed the seller's attribution.

How are fragile glass lamps shipped?

Sellers pack glass shades separately from the frame, wrapped and boxed with plenty of padding, and shipping is insured so any transport damage is covered. Large chandeliers from Mazzega or Peill & Putzler may travel with a furniture courier instead of a parcel service. You can also filter for local pickup and collect the lamp yourself if you prefer to handle Murano glass personally.
