A penchant for artistic things is an asset and was present in humanity from very ancient period. History has witnessed artistic indulgence of emperors in forms of gigantic architectures, colossal mansions, magnificent statues and tall sculptures. The architecture and beautiful columns of Rome, statues of Venice and the magical hanging gardens of Babylon were the imagination of artists that were brought into reality with techniques and designs persisting at that era.
However; art has never ceased to amuse people. With the prevalent designs and craftsmanship, modern decor in homes is affordable both to rich and not so rich masses. It is possible to have antiques and artifacts that are affordable and inspired by art.
Art Nouveau artwork is not just for the museums, it is there for the common people. Beautiful piece of art in the form of lamps can be used for the contemporary home decor. Art is not so complicated when manifested in decorative and artistic forms. It is often told that a picture speaks more than thousand words and so does “Art Nouveau”. A carefully crafted masterpiece of art does it all.

Love the artistic element to home lighting?
WriterArtist, Thank you for practical information, pretty pictures and product lines.
In particular, I appreciate the context information that you give to the Art Nouveau movement. Also, it helps where you explain that Art Nouveau lamps come in glass and silver even as antique lamps came in bronze and pewter.
You suggest Art Nouveau lamps as aesthetic lighting for bookshelves, ceilings, floors and study tables.
It would be quite stunning to place Art Nouveau lamps on floors. Would you be envisioning them on carpeted, ceramic, stone or wood flooring?
