Me over the last day: Obsessed with these Art Nouveau beaded chandeliers that use long rods of glass to catch and distribute light in amazing ways

"Where do you get your ideas?" people ask. Well let me tell you. The ideas mug me in alleyways and sleep on my stoop. I'm on as much ADHD medication as won't make my heart go a million miles an hour. GETTING ideas isn't hard. It's making them stand still long enough to be useful that's the hard part.

Someone tagged this "What I ask from life: a little serenity and at least two Art Noveau chandeliers" and omg bestie same

OP do you have a Pic of one turned on?

The ones in the 2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th pics are turned on! Also maybe the 4th and 8th, I forget.

I found a bunch of these in a feverish day of looking up antiques on 1stDibs, where sellers sometimes even provide comparisons:

The search terms you want are "art nouveau chandelier", "glass tube chandelier," or, if that last one brings up too much 1950s-70s for you, "Hector Guimard chandelier."

The Gem-Lite was made from about 1933 through 1935. It used 2 "AA" cells and originally came with a solid glass bulb.

It was just that…nobody cared. It made no difference to anybody what was happening to us. It was like nobody knew we ever lived. It’s been that way always. ​​​​ Farley Granger in EDGE OF DOOM (1950)
