Those styles were blended quite a lot during those years - I have seen it in clothing, jewelry, household furnishings, architecture - and while it may seem jarring to purists, I see it as a sort of celebration & love the discordant look as-is.</p><p>Most of the double bulb type lamps I’ve seen have been typically nouveau in style, circa early 1900s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have you done any research on Rembrandt ?
