Lighting has been a defining element of Craftsman style since the dawn of the American Arts & Crafts movement in the early 1900s. At the turn of the last century, new homes were being wired for electricity. While electric power was a bit unreliable in those days (some fixtures were designed to accommodate both gas and electric light), this didn't dampen many a Craftsman designer's enthusiasm, and both manufactured and hand-wrought designs proliferated. We have selected several lines for their appropriateness, quality and value: Arroyo Craftsman, featuring indoor and outdoor lighting in several Craftsman sub-styles from Prairie School to Japanesque lanterns frequently associated with California bungalows Cherry Tree Design, offering Mission and Prairie and Asian-influenced table lamps, floor lamps, torchieres and lanterns in Oak, Cherry, Walnut or Maple, featuring Mica or Art-glass shades Mica Lamp Company, the leading producers of mica-shaded lamps inspired by the work of Arts & Crafts metalworking pioneer Dirk Van Erp. Mica Lamps feature a dark copper patina finish in many sizes and styles. They also offer wooden bases in Oak or Cherry and styles appropriate for Mission Revival/Spanish and Tudor Revival homes.
