While vintage shopping is always a thrill, finding that perfect piece can take time. This antique-style pleated table lamp from Marks & Spencer does the hard work for you. Textured, sculptural and beautifully toned, it brings an instant sense of understated sophistication to any tabletop.

Finished in an antique brass tone — a warmer, more liveable alternative to bright gold or cool silver — this M&S lamp feels gently timeworn rather than overly polished. The curved frame creates a graceful, heritage-inspired silhouette, while the pleated fabric shade introduces the kind of detail often seen in older, characterful lighting, casting a soft, ambient glow.

At £69, it’s an easy way to introduce antique-inspired style into your space.

Its curved form naturally draws the eye, making it ideal for highlighting styled surfaces — think thrifted trinkets on a bedside table or coupe glasses on a bar tray in the living room for an effortless vintage vignette.

The versatile blue-grey shade is also easy to work into a range of schemes. Pair it with rich burgundies and deep emeralds to lean into its old-world charm, or contrast it with lighter linens and airy textures for a fresher, more relaxed take on heritage style.
