There are many collectible items. One of the most popular collectibles is the antique lamp. Antique lamps are available in many styles and designs. Antique porcelain lamps were originally sold as gas lamps, but many were converted to electricity. These lamps are usually decorated with paintings in shades of blue, green and pink with gold trim. Antique art deco lamps are attractive to many collectors. These antique lamps usually consist of globes held by human figures. A few art deco lamps are oil lamps but most are electric lights. In most cases wiring replacement is a wise decision before using the lamp.
