Mica Lamps - For Those Living "Outside" the Box

We are pulled in so very many different directions during any given day that we simply must have a quiet retreat all to ourselves where we can just relax, meditate, read, or whatever. The right lighting can energize a space while also bringing a decorative touch to the area. Mica lamps are reminiscent of the Arts & Crafts (also referred to as Mission style in many circles although the latter was actually an expression of the Arts & Crafts movement) style of architecture and design popular during the final years of the 19^th century and first three decades of the 20^th.

Dirk Van Erp was a master coppersmith who created lighting masterpieces still treasured by collectors today. In 1910, Erp combined the subtle warm touch of copper with the translucent mineral mica and created timeless light fixtures in the process. Perfectly suited for bungalows or any Mission-styled home, Mica table lamps and light fixtures will illuminate your home with a subtle glow that is both inviting and relaxing, helping you create the perfect escape from the madness of the world! If the world is the box and mica lamps are throwbacks to a bygone era outside the box, well, you know what to do with that box, right?

Mica lamps and fixtures are available in a wide assortment of styles and featuring different accents. You want to be sure that the lamps complement the other furniture and the overall design style of the home. Mica lamps can certainly add an elegant decorative flare to the space but the effect will be all the more compelling if they complement other fixtures and furnishings in the space.
