An Architect , A Painter and A Sculptress 
Joined in Designing This Exquisite Lamp 
The lines, proportions and color¬ 
ing' of most of the lamps you see 
in these days of commercialism are 
the work of designing departments 
of large factories. They are the 
fruits of a deep knowledge of what 
makes a “popular seller.” Put 
some people, the Decorative Arts 
League committee felt sure, would 
like a lamp designed purely with 
an eye to good taste, a lamp of 
artistic proportions and harmonious 
tones, a lamp embodying grace, 
symmetry and beauty rather than 
the long experience of the ‘*sales- 
man-designer” of what seems most 
in demand in retail stores. Hence 
this exquisite little lamp you see 
pictured. “Aurora” as it has been 
named by an artist, because of the 
purity of its Greek lines and tones. 
A Labor of Love 
For the delicate work of design¬ 
ing a lamp that should be a real 
work of art instead of a mere unit 
in a factory’s production, and yet 
should be a practical and useful 
article of home-furnishing, the 
League enlisted the enthusiastic 
cooperation of a 
group of talented 
artists—one a fa¬ 
mous architect skill¬ 
ed in the practical 
requirements of in¬ 
terior decorating, 
one a painter and 
genius in color- 
effects, and one a 
brilliant sculptress, 
a student of the great Rodin 
in Paris. 
They caught the spirit of 
the League’s idea and the de¬ 
signing of a lamp that would raise the 
artistic standards of home-lighting be¬ 
came to them a true labor of love. 
Model after model was made, studied 
and abandoned, until at last a design 
emerged with whiTh not one of the 
three could find fault. 
Every Detail Perfect 
One style of ornamentation after an- 
other was tried out, only to yield in the 
end to the perfect simplicity of the classic 
Greek lines. Even such a small detail as 
the exact contour of the base was worked 
over and over again until it should blend 
in one continuous “stream” with the 
lines of the slender shaft. The graceful 
curves of the shaft itself, simple as 
they seem in the finished model, were 
the results of dozens of trials. The 
shape, the exact size, and the soft color¬ 
ing of the shade were the product of 
many experiments. 
The result is a masterpiece of Greek 
simplicity and balance. Not a thing 
could be added or taken away without 
marring the general effect—not the 
sixty-fourth of an inch difference in 
any moulding or curve but would be 
harmful. And yet with all the atten¬ 
tion to artistic effect the practical 
knowledge of an experienced interior 
decorator has kept “Aurora” in perfect 
harmony with the actual requirements 
of the home. It blends with any style 
of furnishing, it adapts itself to boudoir 
or foyer-hall, to library or living room. 
And wherever you place it “Aurora” 
will add taste and refinement besides 
furnishing, with its tiltable shade, a 
thoroughly practical and mellow light 
wherever required. 
I11 the exclusive Fifth Avenue type 
of shops, where lamps that are also 
works of art are shown, the equal of 
this fascinating little “Aurora,’’ if 
found, would cost you from $15 to $20 
—perhaps move. Yet the price of this 
lamp is but 
$3.50 Think of it! 
On'.y the Decorative Arts League 
could bring out such a lamp at such 
a pnee. And only as a means of 
widening its circle of usefulness could 
even the league make such an offer. 
But with each purchase of this beau¬ 
tiful little lamp goes a Corresponding

obligations of any kind. It simpiv
