caged

I'm obsessed with vintage cage lights, and I can definitely see having gobs of them in my house if they weren't $1,200 apiece. Just another example of something utilitarian and industrial becoming a luxury status item 100 years later. These pictures are all from Rewire, which has some beautiful old light fixtures, not only from the 20s but also mid-century pieces.

This last one is a chandelier put together by the Rewire people from a selection of cage lights. For some reason this reminds me of something out of a Martha Stewart Living Halloween issue. I should go dig up those old magazines, they weren't half bad.
