Lighting Fixtures for a 1920s House

Georgian Revival

• Lighting for Georgian revival homes relies largely on art glass design. Tiffany and Steuben were two manufacturers that developed glass for lighting during the 1920s. Most of that lighting is chain hung and often had no shades around the bulbs.

Craftsman Style

• Craftsman homes are typically called bungalows and are also referred to as Mission or Prairie style. Lighting fixtures are typically made of wood, primarily oak, and the design is very straight and austere. Iron and cooper with a hammered look is also popular in Craftsman-style homes.

  A leading home designer of the era was Frank Lloyd Wright, who designed in the Prairie style.

Artisan Flair

• Lighting for a 1920s-era home has a characteristically artisan flair. Stained glass is common as well as an emphasis on natural materials such as wood and metal.
