Designer Lighting

Lamplight in an old house: steady, low, forgiving. Designer lighting from AERIN, Oly and Ralph Lauren Home takes in table and floor lamps, sconces, pendants and chandeliers drawn from old forms and old materials. Antique brass, hand-rubbed bronze, natural linen shades, alabaster, rattan, ceramic and crystal echo the antiques they so often stand beside. AERIN draws on classic American and European decorating, Ralph Lauren Home on English country houses and the American West, Oly on California ease and organic shapes. Paired with an old Chinese altar table or a carved Indonesian console, a well-made new lamp gives an antique room even light. It asks for nothing but a switch.
