FAQs

Art Deco lighting, prominent during the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by geometric symmetry, stylised natural motifs, and a harmonious blend of industrial metals with decorative moulded glass.

Authentic period fixtures typically incorporate frosted or pressed glass shades suspended by chromed metal chains, nickel-plated brass hardware, and specialized fitter mounts.

Authenticity is often indicated by the presence of period manufacturing marks, slight irregularities in the glass from old moulding techniques, appropriate patination on the metal components, and heavy, thick-walled glass construction.

A statement hanging fixture can be positioned centrally in a room or hallway to serve as a focal point, pairing effectively with both contemporary minimalist furnishings and eclectic vintage schemes.

Delicate glass shades should be removed and washed gently using mild soapy water and a soft cloth, while metal chains and hardware require dry dusting or specialist metal care to preserve the original finish.
