Lighting From Oxford University's Museum

Brian Rowe — Fri, 10/22/2010 - 15:12

Wall Clock Steampunk lightAs you probably already know Art Donovan has an amazing Steampunk Art Exhibition at Oxford University's Museum of the History of Science. Today I am bringing you two of my favorite pieces from the show.  The show includes several amazing handcrafted lighting pieces with heavy use of metal and vivid burning filaments. The wall piece to the right is one of the more simple pieces, I could easily see this piece in a smaller study or library room. After the cut is a larger image of one of the more complicated works that would be great for a ballroom.

I've always had something of a lighting fetish and I love Art's work! It's make me think of a real life MYST setting.
