A quick review of our categories: Colonial styles predate 1820 and include copper lanterns, chandeliers with faux "tapers," onion lamps, and mirrored sconces. Victorian gaslight-era lighting is usually electrified in reproduction. Arts & Crafts lighting (ca. 1890-1930) runs to art glass and mica, hammered copper, and "Mission." Electric-era designs come in all styles.
