9) Mica Lamps

Here’s a heads up: if you still own any vintage or antique Mica Lamps, they can be worth a pretty penny nowadays! These things were gorgeous, and built to last. Made of copper and mineral mica flakes, these lamps provided an elegant, moody light, and they looked good to boot. If you see this style nowadays it’s most likely made of plastic, but the real mica shades were just so classy and elegant. It is possible to buy original Mica Lamps, but like we said, you’ve got to break open the wallet to do so. Still, if you’re really looking to bring a classic look to your living room or den, Mica lamps are the way to go.
