antique lamp

Old-fashioned light fixture

An antique lamp is a lighting fixture old enough to be considered a collectible, typically at least a hundred years old.

The term covers oil lamps, early electric lamps, and decorative pieces from various eras: She found a gorgeous antique lamp at the estate sale.

In casual use, antique lamp may describe any lamp that looks old-fashioned, whether genuinely antique or reproduction.
