How can I tell Art Nouveau from Art Deco pieces?

Art Nouveau pieces, produced around the turn of the century, favour flowing floral motifs and organic lines inspired by nature. You will often see cameo landscapes, flowers, and undulating vessel shapes. Art Deco items from the nineteen-twenties and thirties embrace geometric patterns, symmetrical designs, and industrial pairings like wrought iron. The colour palettes tend towards bold, sharp contrasts.

Are these glass lamps safe to use?

Many early lighting fixtures retain their original wiring, which may not meet modern electrical standards. Have a qualified electrician inspect and rewire vintage lamps before regular use. Ensure that any replacement bulbs match the wattage recommendations to protect the historic glass shades from excessive heat.

Cameo glass is formed by fusing layers of differently coloured glass together in the furnace. The maker then carves away parts of the top layer to reveal the contrasting colour underneath. This technique requires immense skill and patience, resulting in rich relief designs that catch the light from different angles.
