Lum is an online gallery of high end vintage lamps. Even a quick look through their inventory will most likely turn up a lamp or two (or a dozen!) that you'd be happy...
Lum: Vintage Lighting & Accessories
...to find a place for in your home.
Mainly from the late 20th century, many of the lamp styles appear to be from the 50's through the 80's, popular eras for decorating now. It is especially easy to bring vintage style into a modern home through accessories, so we are not surprised that a shop such as Lum has found success.
Be warned - prices are on the high end. This is not a budget resource, but it is a great source of inspiration for what is out there - guaranteed you'll want to hit the local thrift store after checking out Lum, to try your hand at finding some of these beauties in the wild. Or, you could always save up the pennies and then click "add to cart"...

Very spendy. I can't see spending that much on a lamp, but I do like them.

I've found all my vintage lamps on eBay - but of course they've all required re-wiring, new hardware and shades, etc.
This is the zero-effort way to get vintage into your home - so of course it costs more.

Great resource, although vintage lamps can be had quite inexpensively at second-hand stores, etc. Still, you can't beat the convenience.

I just bought 2 large yellow lamps similar to the ones shown above for $3 each at a thrift store. Even after re-wiring and finding shades on clearance at Kmart, I spent less than $30. I absolutely adore them and it really sweetens my buy knowing that someone would pay $1,000 for a similar set.
