Table Lamps

Table lamps are great!

Whether it's a large feature lamp producing a cosy 'hyggelig' glow in your living room, a cute little bedside table lamp or a functional but stylish desk lamp, they are a beautiful, useful item that provide a quick, easy way of adding a design feature to your home.

We specialise in the following table lamps:

  • Ceramic table lamps, particularly Danish Studio Pottery like Soholm.
  • Scandinavian glass lamps, particularly those made by Holmegaard in Denmark, often in collaboration with Royal Copenhagen.
  • Frandsen Ball - small, cute magnetic lamps that can be used as a table or wall lamp and are particularly good in children's rooms.

Safety  & Wiring

We check all our lamps, retro-fitting safety enhancements wherever possible to bring them more in line with modern UK electrical safety standards. We rewire the vast majority of our lighting, attempting to retain the original fittings where desirable and possible. You can read more about vintage lighting safety here.

Plugs

We can fit a UK/Ireland, Danish ('standard' European compatible), US/Canada or Australia/NZ plug to your lamp meaning that it is ready to plug straight in and use! Please let us know which plug you would like.

Lightbulbs

Our lamps are all European and made for 230v electrical systems (if used outside Europe you need to use bulbs made for the local market). We recommend using LED/low energy lightbulbs, especially with metal lighting as the housing can get very hot with old incandescent bulbs. You can read all about the various types of lightbulbs here.

Lampshades

We sell almost all our table lamps without shades, leaving you free to buy one that really suits your taste and home decor.

Our table lamps are made to be used with modern standard European/UK lampshades. You can read more about lamp fittings and lampshades here.

We recommend Witty Dawn for lampshades. Dawn handmakes lampshades in the English Cotswolds from a vast range of authentic, vintage fabrics, specialising in Scandinavian and Mid Century. If you tell her you're our customer, and send her a photo of your lamp, she will suggest suitable lampshades. You can see examples of Dawn's wonderful handmade lampshades on her instagram.
