This Knapp & Tubbs gold bedside lamp hails from Murano, the acclaimed glass-making island in Venice, Italy. The Asian-inspired studded glass lamp is infused with gold leaf and goes for $800.

If you like handblown glass but can’t afford the Venetian price tag, check out Crate & Barrel’s Jack Table Lamp for $179. An extra-wide faux leather shade and oval-shaped glass base give the lamp a sophisticated look.
