Trade Literature for Pairpoint Electrolier No. 3037, 1899-1907
Add to SetSummary
In the early 1890s, Louis Comfort Tiffany applied the emerging Art Nouveau style to lighting products. They became so popular that other companies -- especially the Pairpoint Corporation of New Bedford, Massachusetts -- produced lamps to rival Tiffany's. The undulating lines and botanical motifs encircling the Pairpoint lamp depicted here are characteristic of Art Nouveau aesthetics.
