Disclaimer: everyone describes "classic" in different terms... but I guess since this my blog, we'll go with what I think is classic... these are light fixtures I would not leave a flea market/antique show/antique mall/garage sale without - if the price was right. And remember... lamps are always better in pairs! Lamp shades are a whole different ball game... trends drive shades more than lamps, so don't be afraid to buy a classic lamp and change the shade every few years to give it an updated look!

URN LAMPS:
I've never seen an urn lamp that looked "outdated"... or that I didn't like.

TASK LAMPS:
You know, the kind you might see on an architect's desk... I love them all... never can resist. (I know, I have issues.)
