Installed at eye level, antique wall lights can’t help but attract people’s attention. The classic design creates an undeniable appeal, with the materials and colours used complementing each other in a playful way. From models that wouldn’t go amiss in a castle setting to those that evoke a shabby-chic vibe, the antique style fuses nostalgia with design for an all-round classic appearance.
Always read the usage guidelines and safety instructions before installing new classic and antique wall lights. If you are not experienced in installing lights, consult a professional electrician.
Tip: A handy solution for rented apartments are wall lights that have a cable with a plug, as you don’t need to alter the wiring. You can simply attach it to the wall; just be sure to check if there’s a socket nearby.
When you attach lights to the wall, make sure it’s not at a height that might blind you later on. To avoid this, install the light about 5cm above eye level. That’s about 1.7 – 1.8 metres high.
Antique wall lamps boast stylistic elements from days gone by that create a charming feel and give each room a nostalgic touch. We believe that the antique appearance suits the tastes of generations young and old!
No two antique wall lights are the same. Whether you’ve already decided on a category of light, you still have plenty of options, such as:
Single and multi-bulb models
Models with lampshades and those with an open view of the bulb
Wall torches for soft, glare-free lighting
Semi-circle wall shells that flood the wall with light
Spotlights that display paintings clearly
Extendible models with an accordion-like wall mount
When you think “antique”, materials like brass, silver and iron typically come to mind. Other materials we offer include stainless steel, glass, brass, chrome, zinc and even silk. Use the appropriate filter in our online shop to see which materials are available.
Yes, there are a few options for you to choose from, including the following:
The trusty wall switch – a classic still widely used
A light with a built-in switch – easy to use
A switch on the power cable – also easy to use
A remote control – there is even a multi-colour function available
Wall lamps can also be controlled using an app on your phone if they’re smart lamps (this can also be retrofitted)
Tip: You can choose for the wall light to be controlled by two wall switches, too. This is a common feature in the bedroom, where there’s often a switch near the door and another by the bed.
