"This practical guide by interior design expert Barty Phillips is a valuable reference book, it introduces the history of lighting in general and then focuses on lighting designs from the discovery and development of the light bulb in Victorian times. It is divided into eras (e.g. seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, post-war, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s) acting as a social history while highlighting the important styles and designers in each era and the reasoning behind the shapes and colours used. There are pointers to recognizing (sic) what is a true antique and what is a reproduction, on repairing and maintaining lamps including ceiling and wall lights, table lamps and floor lamps, with ideas on how to use vintage lighting in your own home."--Dust jacket.
