Antique table lamps are considered decorative objects in the home, along with having their lighting functionality. They are usually considered either feminine or masculine based on the type of lamp fixture. Of course, you can't say that there are concretely 'feminine' or 'masculine' but there are some guidelines for these and people usually can tell the difference.

For example when you are looking at feminine antique table lamps, you might see lamps with flowers on them, with cute cupids, with filigree on them, while masculine tend to be the lamps with various animals such as horses or tigers, sculptures, so they are basically more sturdy and emit a more masculine touch.

Depending on the decor of your room, you need to choose carefully which lamp you want to place in. If the room is very feminine in nature, you need to get an antique desk lamp that exhibits feminine traits as well, while a man living a bachelor life will go for a masculine style lamp that reinforces his masculinity at home. Also lamps that are placed in the library, in the den or in the office will be rather masculine in type.

This is a bit paradox though as generally when you talk about interior design, you think of femininity, a 'feminine touch' to the home. However nowadays men have also been welcome in this previously tight circle of interior design.

Regardless of the type, generally antique table lamps contribute to a person's well being by giving soft lighting that soothes the eye, calms the atmosphere and relaxes a person.

When you're about to buy your new antique table lamps, you will see the wide variety of choices you have there. Some are truly gorgeous and really elegant. Some have this aura of history that lingers around when placed in the room, and this is one reason people like to buy them. Generally they have a beautiful brass work or can even be made of porcelain. Usually the best part of any antique table lamp is the body.

Some of the most common types of antique table lamps are Chinese. They are truly unique pieces of art and people love buying them. They are mostly called  Chinoiserie.
