old Lamps Are Conversation Pieces

There is nothing that adds more elegance and automatic ambience to a room's décor than an aged lamp. They are extraordinary objects to have in a dining room or living room because they not only make a personal statement about you but because they are great conversation pieces. There is nothing
like a 1930s big chandelier with large drops of ice hanging from it to help break the ice with your evening meal companions.

Perhaps the most favorite of the aged lamps are the lava lamps. It is getting harder and harder nowadays to find a real lava lamp from the fifties or sixties. The knock offs that can be had for twenty dollars and be bought in a hardware store are simply not as nice as the ones you find on eBay or in aged shops. This is because the newer replicas tend to be a lot smaller then the traditional lava lamps that were sometimes tall sufficient to reach your knee. They also often consist of glitter instead of the "lava" and their fabricate is not as nice. If you manage to find a real lava lamp from the fifties then the fabricate from the Atomic Age is obvious to become a conversation starter.

One of the most interesting aged lamp fads that is nearby lately is the passion for chandeliers made out of deer antlers. These date back as far as the 1890s and level straight through to today. They were approved lamp fixtures in medieval times in Europe (as they do have a bit of a pagan flair to them) but they are also thought about to be part of American and Canadian furniture kitsch.

However keep in mind that when you buy one of these deer chandeliers that it is not always that politically correct. Some unscrupulous dealers are selling this type of thing on eBay as being made out of found antlers when what they have done is take the antlers off of live deer. This is a big
ecological no-no. You are safest to look in aged shops and for chandeliers that look like they have been found on the ground. These antlers will not have sawed off ends. If they do have sawed off ends you might start the wrong type of conversation at your evening meal party especially if you have invited any animal lovers.

Yet another very favorite type of kitsch aged lamp that is being artificial right now is the "Sexy Leg Lamp." This is the lamp that was featured in the movie "The Christmas Story." It consists of a plastic molded ladies leg wearing a black high heel and it is topped with a shade that looks like a burlesque dancer's skirt. If you have one of these in your home, your guests are sure to point out that "you have the same lamp that Ralphie's Dad does."

A kind of lamp that is getting harder and harder to find but used to be a coarse sight on top of television sets all over the world is the excellent ceramic black panther that is topped with a shade made from paper pressed with glitter.
