8 TABLE LAMPS THAT LOOK MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THEY ARE

Sculptural shapes, polished finishes. Our picks for chic lighting under $200.

A good lamp has to do more than turn on. It needs the right scale, good proportions, and enough presence to hold its own in a room. We looked for pieces with sculptural shapes, convincing materials, and prices that leave room in the budget for everything else. These eight made the edit.

SHOP THE EDIT

01/ THE ART FORM

Part lamp, part sculpture. The amber glass gives it just enough drama.

02 / THE NATURAL

Warm wood keeps the sculptural shape from feeling too precious.

03 / THE CLASSIC

Ribbed glass and brass. A vintage combination that still looks completely current.

04 / THE MODERN

Marble and brass in very good proportions. Clean, graphic, done.

05 / THE GO-ANYWHERE

Compact but big on style, this option will complement a range of locations and styles.

06 / THE RETRO-MODERN

A chic update on sputnik—era mid-century lighting, the metal is glam and reflective.

07/ THE SCULPTURE

Part lamp, part sculptural artwork. Some on-trend style to top a stack of books or a nightstand.

08 / THE OVERHEAD

Update on an old favorite, set the mood with this brass and marble arc lamp.
