In the world of lampshades, a journey through time and style awaits. From typesetting by hand in the Morning Post newspaper in London to an advert for Oetzmann & Co Victorian furniture in 1890, these captivating pieces have always been at the forefront of design. Imagine flipping through a trade catalogue for lamp stands and shades in 1911, discovering endless possibilities to illuminate your space with elegance and charm. Or strolling through the streets of Rabat's Medina in Morocco, where lighting souvenirs adorned with intricate patterns catch your eye. Oetzmann's advertisement showcases their timeless craftsmanship, offering a glimpse into the past when Victorian items were cherished for their exquisite beauty. Meanwhile, Elkington & Co entices us with their innovative approach to lighting from 1895. Clarkes cricklite lamps take center stage in another advertisement from 1897, promising both functionality and style. These lamps surely brightened many homes during that era. Traveling to Parma, Italy brings us face-to-face with an illuminations installation featuring stunning lampshades against historic buildings. The juxtaposition between old and new creates a mesmerizing sight that captivates visitors. Stepping into "The Dining Room" depicted on canvas in 1914 transports us back to an era where table lamps illuminated intimate gatherings while adding sophistication to any setting. A pair of table lamps crafted around 1925 showcases silvered bronze and glass as materials chosen for their timeless appeal. These elegant pieces would undoubtedly enhance any room they grace. Finally, we encounter a standard lamp from 1897 made of brass and fabric - a classic combination that exudes warmth and tradition even after all these years. They have evolved over time but remain essential elements of interior design. They not only provide illumination but also serve as decorative accents that reflect our personal taste and style preferences throughout history.
