During the evolution of Art Nouveau, the wave impacted all and sundry artists from different parts of the world. The movement did not work in segregation. Artists from diverse sections had the same feelings, these artists comprised a larger section of the society, and they wanted to bring the art to common people. Perhaps art was thought of the privilege of elite class in earlier days because they could afford the opulence for the monuments, the luxury and the grandeur.
The concepts of Art Nouveau were designed for everybody, the ideas were modern and the style was for the new and younger generation who were ready to embrace the richness, designs and techniques of a novel idea.
Pottery, furniture, glass and all other raw materials that were inexpensive could cater for the middle class’s hunger of art. To appease the appetite of this new bourgeoisie class, artists brought out large number of art pieces that might have not been intrinsic and detailed as for the rich and noble but unique pieces that could work well for the majority of the people.

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?
