Technical Details Bulb Type B22 Maximum Wattage 100w Height 260 mm Width / Diameter 130 mm Colour Brown, Clear Material Brass, Hand Blown Glass Weight 2 kg Routes of Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau Lighting Arts and Crafts lighting emerged in the late 19th century as part of the broader Arts and Crafts movement, championing a return to craftsmanship and simple, functional design in response to industrialisation. These fixtures were characterised by their honesty of materials, often crafted from hand-hammered brass, copper, or wrought iron, and sometimes paired with mica or glass shades. Designs were inspired by nature, featuring organic motifs such as leaves, flowers, and vines. Functionality was central to Arts and Crafts lighting, with a focus on creating harmonious and durable pieces. The clean, geometric lines and lack of excessive ornamentation reflected the movement's ethos of uniting beauty and practicality. One of the most renowned designers of this era was William Arthur Smith Benson, whose lighting designs are iconic examples of Arts and Crafts craftsmanship. Benson's work combined elegant, nature-inspired aesthetics with innovative techniques, blending the movement’s ideals of beauty and utility. His creations remain highly collectible and continue to influence lighting design today. Art Nouveau lighting, popular from the 1890s to the early 1910s, was characterised by its sinuous, flowing lines and elaborate decorative details. Rooted in a celebration of natural forms, these fixtures often featured intricate floral, botanical, and even animal-inspired designs. Art Nouveau lighting utilised materials like bronze, brass, and glass, with a notable emphasis on craftsmanship and artistic expression. Glasswork played a significant role in Art Nouveau lighting, with leading designers such as Louis Comfort Tiffany in the United States and Émile Gallé in France creating luminous stained-glass shades. These designs often showcased vibrant colors and intricate patterns, enhancing the fixtures' artistic allure. Why These Lighting Styles Are Popular Today Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau lighting styles remain highly sought after for their timeless beauty and historical charm. Their handcrafted quality and intricate details bring warmth, authenticity, and character to modern interiors, seamlessly blending with both traditional and contemporary spaces. Reclaimed lighting from these eras not only serves as a functional feature but also as a statement piece, adding depth and individuality to your home. Furthermore, choosing reclaimed fixtures aligns with sustainable design trends, making them a perfect choice for eco-conscious interiors.
