If you want something big, sold and with a distinctly 1930s flavour, check out this Sherlock desk lamp at Graham & Green.
Industrial in looks, the light features an adjustable arm, a heavy base and a chrome look, perfect for a retro-style home office or even for use in the living room.
Available online now, it sells for £145.
Not one, but two pieces of stunning space age design from the 1970s up for grabs on eBay – a pair of Stefano Cevoli Meridiana lamps.
Perfect for adding that Space 1999 touch to your home, both lamps were made in Italy in the 70s, offering up that long, white 'wire-like' stem and matching base and shade in a 'cramy white', finished off with black detailing and a black cord with the on/off switch.
Both lamps stand around 22 inches tall and are said to be 'cosmetically flawless' as well as being in working order. Sold out of the US, but shipping worldwide, the current price is a very tempting $99.99 (around £68.68) for the pair, which makes them something of a bargain.
A interesting design for not a lot of cash – this Kaiser 6885 table lamp.
Dating back to the 1960s, but definitely inspired by the modernist era, the light has a lampshade made of sheet metal lacquered cream, a brass stem with ball joint for adjusting the angle and a base of cast iron with a metal cover that's lacquered in cream.
Not a design we've encountered before, the lamp is described as being in 'good condition' and in 'full working order', you can pick it up at the moment for 99 pence.
Not a great deal of detail in the description, but we like the look and the price of this 1970s fold-out desk lamp.
Originated from and sold out of Germany, the lamp screams the decade and has a rather interesting trick up its sleeve – the ability to fold down when not in use, extending when required.
The manufacturer is unknown, the condition is 'good' and the price is a Buy It Now of £39 or an offer. Seems well worth that.
An interesting, unusual and we would guess, quite rare design on eBay right now – this 1960s Crestworth Twiggy lamp.
Designed in the 1960s and produced into the early 70s, it actually has a look of an early piece (think 1950s for that frame). For your money, you get that distinctive tubular aluminium frame with the rubber ball feet, finished off with a bakelite bulb holder, screw-on shade, which is made of spun aluminium with a 'grey furry' covering.
The size is adjustable, going to a total length of 44cm, while condition is described as 'excellent'. Some bids already placed, but still at only £27.
Big, chunky and able to direct light where you want it – that's this Armlite floor lamp at Pedlars.
It's a French lamp, with a solid cast iron base with wheels, steel frame and spun aluminium head – that concertina arm able to move the lamp's head pretty much wherever you need your light.
Requiring a 60-watt bulb and finished off with an orange cable and red switch, the lamp is available to add some vintage style to your home for £655.
