The Aesthetic Movement style flourished in Britain between 1860-1900. The sophisticated design was intended to bring beauty to everyday objects, escaping the ugliness & materialism of the Industrial Age. Aesthetic artists drew inspiration from various cultures and periods, in this example from ancient Greece, with the geometric decorative pattern on the brass. The contrast between the black & gold surfaces, tubular & square shapes, traditional & geometric motifs, make these lamps a good example of The Aesthetic Movement style. This rich eclecticism is one of the Aesthetic Movement`s most intriguing characteristics making these lamps fitting for Interiors today.
