Edwardian Ceiling Lights
The History of Edwardian Ceiling Lights
The Edwardian period was relatively short (1901 - 1910) and covered a period of just nine years after the death of Queen Victoria. The Edwardian period saw a move away from the dark cluttered rooms of the Victorian period into a new era, which is also known as the Beautiful Era.
Gas lighting was still in use in homes, together with candles and oil lamps, as electric lighting did not come into widespread use until after the First World War. However, during this time, lighting styles and home décor became simpler, lighter and more feminine with use of flowers and pastel colours. Lighting was influenced by styles from the medieval and Georgian period and by ideas from continental Europe.
The two main arts movements of the period were Arts and Crafts Lighting and Art Nouveaux. Angelo’s sell a range of lighting for homes and business in both these styles which we shall describe below.
Arts and Crafts Lighting
The Arts and Crafts movement is often associated with the electric light bulb although this was still in its infancy during the Edwardian period. It was an international design movement which began in the British Isles and expanded into to Europe and North America. It was led by artist and writer William Morris and architect Charles Voysey and reached its height between 1860’s – 1910 and its influence continued until the 1930’s. It used hand crafted, simple forms with little ornamentation and was often inspired by medieval and romantic styles.
Some of the features of this style of lighting include traditional craftsmanship, flowers for decoration and the use of copper and pewter. This type of Edwardian Ceiling Lighting can suit all areas of the home including the living room, sitting room, study and hallway.
Art Nouveau Lighting
Art Nouveau (French for New Art) was popular in Europe during 1890 - 1910 but its influence was global. It was decorative and inspired by natural forms and the environment, such as curved lines, flowers and plants. Art Nouveau lights were often used to represent a flower and lights were completed with a flower like shade.
The artist most associated with Art Nouveau is the American artist and designer Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848 – 1953) who designed stained glass windows, lamps, jewellery and metalwork. The first Tiffany Lamp was created in 1895 and the lamps became known for their beauty, colour and intricacy of design. The lamps relate to plants or follow nature and feature flowers, butterflies, dragonflies or peacock feathers. Here at Angelos we sell a range of replica Tiffany lighting including pendant lighting, desk lamps and floor lighting for all types of interiors.
