Originally used to add light to the dining room, candlestick buffet lamps also boost vintage aesthetics in a blend of modern and historical functionality. Slimmer, peer-like floor lamps, also known as console lamps, now adorn mid-century modern living rooms and even farmhouse-style entryways. As we explored in our guides to antique candlestick lamps and brass lighting designs, the beauty is in their utility. After trying out three elite models, one of which has hidden USB charging ports, we know which buffet candlestick lamps are worthy of your time.

FAQ: Candlestick Buffet Lamps
Q: What is the most suitable height for buffet lamps?
A: Recommended height ranges between 30-36 inches. As illustrated with our 33” Luxsight models, taller lamps can elevate high-ceilinged spaces and need serving to augment.
Q: Is there compatibility with smart home systems?
A: There are no built-in wifi or smart features, but the pull-chain switches of the Lampworks set are compatible with smart bulbs like Philips Hue, making them usable
Q: How can I clean the fabric shades?
A: Use a lint roller weekly and dilute soap castile detergents when cleaning annually. Shades that can’t come off shouldn’t be submerged in water.
Q: Are modern décor too informal for candlestick lamps?
A: Not really! They are easily matched with industrial or Scandinavian styles and the matte black finish from The Lampworks shows us just that.
