Tv lamps were usually very small ceramic lamps and they were set on top or near the television. Favorite themes were animals such as gazelles, cats, lions, dogs, birds, cars, ships, wagons, etc. Some were also planters. The light bulb was typically located behind the body of the lamp in such a way as to emit a soft indirect light that would help to light up the general area nearby the Tv set.


It was also a common convention for people to procure nearby the radio to listen to their Favorite "theatre" or other radio program. The Tv lamp would supply a warm and cozy indirect light. This was home theater of the 1950's.

Today Tv lamps from the 1950's are highly collectible. They are usually very genuinely identified and they describe a very nostalgic duration of our history.
