At Alfama Chic, we take pride in offering a selection of portable lamps in elegant, varied shapes. Our mission? To restore the prestige of lighting fixtures by giving them a second life in our Lisbon workshop. To do this, we search flea markets, brocantes, and reclamation sites for forgotten lamps and antique chandeliers. Thanks to upcycling, our vintage and portable lamps gain a new lease of life while reducing your décor’s environmental footprint.
For a responsible and authentic decoration, fall in love with a portable lamp featuring a vintage globe and retro design. All our portable lamps come with a beautiful twisted or round textile cord. In addition, the wiring in all our products has been completely redone to comply with CE standards.

A portable lamp plugs into a wall socket and can be moved easily, while a ceiling pendant is fixed and wired directly to the ceiling.
It works best as ambient or accent lighting but can replace a bedside lamp or ceiling light when placed thoughtfully.
Choose a decorative LED filament bulb for both style and energy efficiency. Please note: bulbs are not included in your order so you can select the one that best matches your interior.
A vintage portable lamp adds warmth and character to your interior. Unlike modern fixtures, it tells a story—crafted in an artisan workshop where glass and metal were shaped by hand. Its mix of retro elegance (opaline glass, textile cords, visible plugs) and modern functionality creates diffuse, homogenous light. Every room becomes more soulful with a piece like this.
Identify where you want to fix it (ceiling or wall), ensure the hook or bracket supports up to 2 kg. Wrap the cord around to adjust the height. Add a dimmer if desired. With simple installation (just plug it in!), it’s ideal for older homes or industrial-style interiors with LED comfort.
Which portable lamp should I choose?
Go for cut glass for elegance, or an opaline globe for soft lighting. Twisted or brushed styles suit minimalist décor, while opaline adds a unique charm. Consider the use (reading nook, hallway, covered patio), the cable length, and plug availability. Let the desired ambiance guide your choice: minimalist, vintage charm, or loft spirit.
Dust the globe and bulb gently with a soft cloth. For brass, use a non-abrasive cleaner and microfiber cloth. Regularly check the cable and plug for safety.
If the lamp doesn’t light up, check the bulb first. They’re available in all specialty stores. When replacing, make sure the socket size (E13 or E27), light color and intensity match your needs. We’ve written a blog post on this topic—feel free to check it out!
