Trade Literature for Pairpoint Oil Lamp No. 3021, 1899-1907

01

Artifact Overview

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, botanical motifs, and female figure encircling the Pairpoint lamp depicted here are characteristic of Art Nouveau aesthetics.
