Antique Lamps for Accent Lighting
The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co specialise in the design and restoration of antique table lamps. Long experience in the field has gained the company expertise and appreciation among interior designers. Antique lamps are not only a functional source of lighting, but can serve a variety of lighting tasks.
Accent lighting is strictly decorative and is not intended to "illuminate the room" but rather provide a delightful focal point to establish ambience and mood. Accent lamps are a statement of taste, come in a wide variety of forms and are a valuable asset to the interior.
As the name suggests, the accent lamp is meant to accentuate a particular object or to draw attention to a specific area. This may be a mantelpiece, bookshelf or small side table in an entrance hall or perhaps amongst a group of photo frames or collection of small silver. The careful placement of accent lighting will add a further dimension to the feel & comfort of a room.
The lamp base, however, is only half of the story. The partnering of the right lamp shade is essential in producing the desired effect. Once selected it should bring the look together by a thoughtful combination of style, size, shape, colour, appropriate fabric and passementerie. Both lamp and shade should be chosen to compliment the existing or proposed interior.
A carefully chosen accent or table lamp will reward with a lot more than the quest for additional lighting. Remember that illumination is the essence of a room and can make or break a décor.
The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co is a boutique company offering a wide selection of high end quality, antique and vintage lamps. Their lamps are unique with no element of mass production. They also custom make silk and linen lamp shades to order.
Please remember that The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co ship lamps, ready wired for the U.S, the U.K and Australia.
