People are coming more and more to realize the value of light in the home. In the past we were too prone to consider light a rather necessary evil that must be supplied unless one wished to go to bed with the chickens. Since the general use of electricity, however, we have not only been putting more value on better light, but also on using this light and light fixtures as a decoration to our homes. The bright glare of an electric bulb screamed for a shade, so our designers began experimenting and their results show on every hand.
