Period Décor With Antique Lighting
Some things in life are so well designed and attractive that it seems pointless to change them for the sake of change. Take for example the kettle I just bought. It is so ‘designer' that I cannot get the thing to work. It was hard enough choosing a kettle at the electrical store amongst the huge range of different designs when all I wanted was a simple standard functioning kettle preferably with a whistle.
The same can be said about all manmade objects and it sometimes seems changes are made to designs simply because there are too many designers about the place trying to justify their salaries and positions in manufacturing companies.
A classic example is electric lighting. How many home owners go to an awful lot of expense and care to get the décor of their homes just the way they want it and then ruin it all by having a boring single bulb with a dull lampshade hanging from the centre of the ceiling? For inspiration, take a look at antique lighting and you will quickly realize that over a hundred years and more ago, the Edwardians and Victorians had a great deal more style than many modern lamp fittings.
Original Victorian street lights were never dull and a simple conversion to electricity means many of these splendid architectural delights still light up the centres of many cities in Britain and around the world.
The lamplighter of Victorian times is so evocative of that period that many writers and poets alluded to him and their work. Robert Louis Stephenson wrote a poem about the child in bed watching the Lamplighter outside his window lighting up the street light.
Here in the twenty first century, thankfully, there are some people who not only appreciate the style and attractiveness of Edwardian and Victoriana, but they actively promote the products for others to enjoy. Faithful reproductions of old antique lighting are available. If you are very lucky you might even find the original antique.
Apart from the street lights with the cross bar at the top for the Lamplighters ladder to rest upon, which looks so much better than harsh garden or front door spotlights, there is also a huge range of antique indoor lighting. Instead of that overhanging harsh bulb, think more about the gentler reading lamps strategically placed about the room. There are many styles to choose from. For reading it may be a swan neck shaped lamp and for the hallway a gothic style cast iron box shape.
If you happen to visit my old town of Stratford-upon-Avon, take a walk down Sheep Street towards the theatre and before entering the park which slopes down to the River Avon, look up and marvel at all the beautiful old street lamps which line the road. There are twenty or thirty lamps all donated by different countries and the individual styles are a testimony to the craftsmen of all these different countries. The donor of each lamp has the name of the country from whence it came but the similarities are remarkable. What is not remarkable is that if you look across the road and look at the modern street lamps; how dull they are!
