Interior Design: Antique Lighting
Lighting is an essential feature of interior design. Clearly, we need light to be able to see, but there is much more to lighting than simply the addition of a light fixture. For instance, in a home environment, excessively bright light is a big no-no. Ambience is what we should create in our living quarters, and very bright light makes for an uncomfortable experience when trying to relax. For living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms, what we need is subdued lighting to create a perfectly harmonious atmosphere.
In order to decorate a room well, the lighting must be just right, not to dark, and certainly not too bright. Furniture may be expensive, curtains and carpets the epitome of luxury, but if the lighting is wrong, the room will feel at odds with itself.
Antique lighting fixtures are perfect as a means of lighting a room. Frequently, they are unable to emit excessively bright light, which is a bonus. Moreover, by using an antique light as a primary, or secondary, source of lighting, you simply add to the interior design – they stand in their own right as a decorative item, much like an item of furniture or a painting will do. To classify a light as an antique, it must be at least a century old.
Antique lighting is a broad, umbrella term to describe all lights over 100 years old. As such, there are huge variations between the items available for purchase. This is great news, because it means a great deal of choice. Interior designers will suggest purchasing items that fit within the general period of the room. Therefore, for modern decor, you would think that it is difficult to find a suitable antique light, but this is not the case, popular contemporary styles often reflect past trends. Moreover, by choosing antiques that are unique, you ensure they do not fit a particular era per se, individuality tends to suit any look and so can normally fit with any style of decoration – providing you select the item carefully and with thought.
With a decorative antique light, you can choose them as a main source of lighting or as a secondary source. Depending on which type you want, their brightness should vary: primary sources of light do need to be a little darker than secondary sources.
When purchasing antique lighting, bear in mind the novelty factor. Antique lights are not a novelty; they are intended to act as an exquisite focal point to a room, and not as a garish or gaudy addition. You should avoid Betty Boop-style lighting for instance!
Remember, the way in which you decorate a room, and the lighting that you use, are a reflection of your personality; if you like it, it is ok. Nevertheless, when decorating a home, soft lighting is best for creating a relaxed and tranquil environment.

Help identifying an old (maybe antique) grooming tool?
I recently purchased an item at an estate sale that looks like a cross between a pair of scissors and a pair of tweezers. There is a patent date of May 22, 1900. There is one round "scissor" handle and the other handle (that fits nicely in hand) is wooden with a sterling silver decorative piece. It seems to be some type of tweezers? I can't find anything online to help me identity this item. Can anyone tell me what this is? Thanks.
It sounds like a seam ripper. U.S. Patent No. 649,939
