Ragsdale's Mission Arts & Crafts Lamps Page 1
The Prairie Craftsman Collection of Arts & Crafts Mica Lamps
The right mission lighting can add drama and elegance to your rooms.
Different mission lighting effects contribute to create that
atmosphere. General or
ambient lighting begins to set the mood; whether turned up bright or
dimmed down low. The even glow from mica shaded lamps or a mission
chandelier sets the tone.
The mission light through a pleated shade is exactly this
type of warm rich light. Ambient
mission lighting often works along with task lighting; a arts and
crafts lamp pulled up next to a reading chair or next to a bed
provides the direct beam of light that is task light.
This is the light that lets
you read or work in a dimly lit room. But it is also the contrast
between general mission light and the sharper pools of task light
that lend mystery and drama to an interior.
The most romantic light is accent lighting in our world that
means candle light. The gleam of candles through mica hurricanes,
the glow of votives in crystal glass scattered through the room
across the dining table or along the mantel. Tappers aloft above a
dining table, bathe the china & crystal in a soft glow, nothing is
more atmospheric than candle light. Often all three types of light
are used together a dark entrance hall glows with candles and barley
a glimmer from a mission chandelier the hall gives way to the
brighter sparkle from silk shades and crystal from the room beyond.
