Lamp Tables
Mention lamp tables and most people will think of something at the end of a sofa adorned with some sort of electric light. It forms an attractive part of the room's interior and the lamp itself provides mood lighting. It is easy to forget that the
lamp table was originally much more important than simply a decorative element to the room.
Before the invention and widespread availablility of electric light, most homes used oil lamps to provide lighting. This situation continued in some rural areas of the UK into at least the 1960s. The oil lamp was typically between 18in and 2ft high and would be placed on the kitchen or dining table for meals, reading newspapers, children doing homework and so forth. If good light was needed next to an easy chair or sofa, the lamp would have to be moved close. A small side table of some sort on which to place the lamp was therefore a very useful item.
Lamp tables were therefore an important item of furniture in the pre-electrification era. During the 1950s and 1960s, interior designers made great efforts to eliminate all unecessary items and decoration. Light, space and simple clean lines were their watchwords. Because every room had bright electric ceiling lights, there was no need for lamp tables and there was a decline in their popularity.
Today however, even fans of contemporary minimalist style enjoy the amenity of having
small tables or end tables strategically placed in the room. At Right Price Furniture we try to offer a broad selection of lamp tables in contemporary and traditional styles and in a choice of materials, including the
