Soft Illumination & Decorative Refinement

Antique table lamps are essential to creating an inviting interior. Not only do they bring sculptural beauty and decorative impact, but they also provide the soft, layered lighting needed for a harmonious and comfortable atmosphere. At Nicholas Wells Antiques, we curate a wide and varied collection of antique table lamps, each selected for its quality, individuality, and decorative appeal.

Our collection ranges from hard-edged Neoclassical marble column lamps and fine Paris porcelain examples, to 18th-century Delft chinoiserie blue-and-white vases and Chinese celadon jars adapted for lighting. Many feature unique textures, rich glazes, and distinctive scales, ensuring that every lamp is a one-of-a-kind object with both functional and artistic value.

Perfect for desks, side tables, or bedsides, antique table lamps add warmth and elegance to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
