Reissues are incredibly high priced, so the ideal of an original 1940s Kaiser Idell 6561 desk lamp for next to nothing is appealing. Which is the case right now with this particular example.

eBay watch: Hustadt 1960s chromed desk lamp
Love this design, note least because this Hustadt chromed desk lamp is down as a 1960s design, but could, quite easily, be from any era from the 1930s onwards.
Antique brass desk spotlight
We've featured a couple lights in this style recently: now this antique brass desk spotlight offers the same look with a twist.
The twist is revealed in the name. While this looks like a free standing floor model, in fact it measures just 45cm high making it more suitable to a table than making a grand lighting statement. The scale aside, it's got that vintage look, with the requisite tripod legs, and offers an interesting look for your desk.
The price is £220.
Buy it from Alexander & Pearl
Retro Desk Lamp
Not an iconic or designer piece, but if you are looking for a Retro Desk Lamp, then this one from Barker and Stonehouse is a good option.
The lamp head has a subtly retro shape to it, reminiscent of 1960s designs. It is available in a classic choice of red, black or chrome.
The lamp costs £95 from Barker and Stonehouse.
Green Retro Desk Lamp
This Retro Desk Lamp from Idyll Home is pretty much your standard desk lamp design, with an adjustable head that allows you to change the angle of the light. What distinguishes it, is the unusual choice of colour, a vintage-looking shade of green, which gives it a much more retro look than if the lamp had been in the usual black, chrome or red.
It measures 55cm high when fully extended and uses a 40 watt bulb or low energy equivalent.
It costs £129 from the Idyll Home website.
