About
The bridge lamp got its name through the astounding popularity of bridge and other card games in the 19 ‘teens and ’20s. A bridge lamp is a floor lamp about 52″–60″ high, with an extended arm that holds the shaded bulb in a downward position: perfect for illuminating the card table.

With the wide acceptance of electricity and leisure time for reading and playing cards, floor and table lamps came into their own during the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s. Still practical today, they add a touch of Art Nouveau, Deco, or Historical Revival style to a room. Floor lamps include torchieres (sending light toward the ceiling) and, later, various double- and triple-bulb upright models.
