About Vintage Art Deco Style Lamps

There are many types of lamps that people consider Art Deco, with a variety of different stylistic elements. Many boast the standard straight, industrial look, with lots of angles and squared glass or paper shades. Also common are figural lamps with stems made to look like people, and freestanding figures on the same base as a lamp. Egyptian aesthetics were also popular during the Art Deco period.

Most Art Deco era lamps are metal, though some had wood bases or were made from Bakelite or other resins. The highlight of many Deco vintage lamps is their glass shades, which can range from angular and white to rounded art glass. As with most anything labeled Art Deco, beware of reproductions.
