PRACTICAL HOMECRAFT
LIGHT UP WITH PICTURES
ETCHED ON ANTIQUE MIRRORED GLASS, these charming ballet dancora in source of lilumination by night. Fluorescent bulbs bahind the frame their enameled metal frame are wall pictures by day, provida glamorous cast light downward for reading in bed, upward for general lighting.
By MARION CLYDE McCARROLL
OMETHING very new, very lovely to look at, and very Suseful that has just been developed in the decorative light
ing field is the framed wall picture that is just a picture by day, but a glamorized source of illumination when it's time to turn on the lights at night.
The picture lamp consists of a glass or clear plastic decorated panel in an enameled metal frame. By means of a three-way switch, bulbs wired in behind the frame cast a generous amount of glareless light downward for reading, upward for general room lighting, and through the picture to highlight it.
As at present available, predominating designs in the new and unusual lighting medium are delicate dancing figures, floral groups and Oriental or Persian motifs. Hand-painting, sill-screening or stereopticon effects are employed in carrying out this picture lamp idea, and designs have been created to suit every room in the house, even the nursery.
Shown in the illustrations are a few of these picture lamps employed in lighting various types of rooms.
THE NEW PICTURES ARE ALSO very useful in a hallway to make a decorative wall treatment for the daylight hours and light the stairs in the darkness.
