All About the Crystal Table Lamp   

You can use a crystal table lamp as the focal point of your table and the entire room also. There are several designs to choose from such as modern, retro and antique. There are also table lamps that are powered by battery in order to conserve energy, but these aren’t very popular yet. If we’re going to discuss the best of the crystal table lamps ,Waterford Crystal is the place to start. They have style, quality and beauty.  

Let’s take at look at the 26” crystal table lamp made by Waterford.  The base of this lamp is brass and uses the step up design with the largest step at the bottom. This beautiful brass lamp has carved feet and a glass stem which gives it an appearance of being both stylish and open. It has a 16” fabric shade that is white, with a light switch that rotates three ways so that it can be set to the level that you desire.   

A 100-watt bulb is the maximum that should be used with this unit. The assembly that is required for the Waterford Crystal table lamps only takes approximately five minutes. The lamp has a classic design and its glass stem will work well in any modern or contemporary styled room. You may think that this lamp is extremely expensive, but you can actually buy this lamp for around $425 with a discount.   

If that lamp is a bit steep for your budget, you should consider the Crystal Body lamp. This lamp has a beautiful design. There are four globes made from glass that ascend in size as you go from top to bottom. The white shade gives perfect lighting but doesn’t take away from the contemporary stem. You can use a 100-watt bulb maximum for light, and the lamp can be adjusted via a three way switch. This lamp isn’t inexpensive, but you can purchase it for a discount for about $164 ($85 off its list price). This is a good price considering how gorgeous the lamp is.  

If you’d like a vintage crystal lamp that has an antique look, look at the Vintage Table Lamp. It has a red crackled stem, a slate, and a gold finish. The incredible hand painting gives the lamp a vintage look. It reminds you of what life might have been like in your grandma’s house many years ago. The fabric shade distributes light evenly which gives perfect lighting. Each of the 4 crystals needs a Candelabra bulb and has an inline switch.

You can also find a crystal table lamp that has a modern crystal-like shade which is unique and contemporary. This is the opposite of the lamps discussed above. The lighting is chandelier style and hails from 3 glass shades. The design is slim, and the base is round which gives the lamp sufficient support for an elegant stance. The construction centers on steel and acrylic, and the maker says assembly is simple. This lamp requires 40-watt chandelier bulbs that can be found at hardware stores.

There are very few, battery operated, table lamps out there. One of those we can check out is the BettyLou Cordless LED. It is made completely of glass and blends in nicely in contemporary settings. Because it is battery operated, you have to consider how long it will remain lit. The BettyLou gives great lighting for 7 hours or more. The LED light is quite efficient and provides light for long periods of time, making it good to use on special occasions and for everyday use as well. It is hard to find a cordless lamp at a discounted price, but because this one is so unique, it is worth its price of $199.  

There are many styles and types of table lamps from which you can choose. For instance, Tiffany Lamps are easily recognized as being different because of their shades. They can even be broken down into styles like Mission and Victorian. Mica table lamps have a growing popularity due to the interesting way they provide light. You should also check out wrought iron lamps which have many designs and distinctive looks.   

Always remember the shades. They are no longer merely accent pieces. At times, they are the focal points of the lamps. They can be found in many materials like glass, paper, silk, and metal.
