Plate 168: A Victorian Feast of Ecclesiastical Lighting - An Enchanting Collection of Ornate Brass Lamps and Suspensions from the 1880s Step back in time to the captivating era of the Victorian period with this stunning collection of ecclesiastical lighting items, as depicted in Plate 168 from Mary Evans Prints Online. Dating back to the 1880s, this plate showcases an enchanting variety of brass lamps and suspensions, designed for use in churches to provide illumination for religious ceremonies and celebrations. The intricate metalwork on display reflects the rich history and historicism of the time, with influences drawn from medieval design and a focus on ornate shapes and patterns. The lamps and suspensions come in a range of shapes and sizes, each one a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the period. The lamps, which include bowls and coronae, are designed to burn petroleum, paraffin, or kerosene, providing a warm and inviting glow in the dimly lit interiors of churches. The suspensions, with their elegant brackets, are suspended from the ceiling, adding an air of grandeur and sophistication to the space. The brass material used in the construction of these lighting fixtures not only adds to their aesthetic appeal but also serves a practical purpose, as brass was a popular choice for its durability and resistance to corrosion. This plate offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a sense of the beauty and intricacy of Victorian design and the importance of lighting in religious spaces. Whether you're an historian, interior designer, or simply someone who appreciates the artistry of the past, Plate 168 is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of ecclesiastical lighting.
