All throughout the years, lamps have always add light and style to any rooms in your humble abode. Even a dark corner that isn't regularly used can really benefit a lot from a well chosen lamp. And do you know that lamps not only provide light and brightness, they look really great as a furniture item too!!

Back in the olden days, a lamp was considered a vessel for holding oil that is burned through a wick for illuminating purposes and now, this term has been extended to other lighting devices such as torchieres. The float-wick lamp, for example, in which the wick is supported above the oil, was of Egyptian origin. But it survived in the West mostly as a sanctuary lamp.

Nowadays, it's not considered necessary to use an actual flame, whether in our lamps or homes as we have more sophisticated methods such as desk lamps and table lamps, in which more light is available to our work surface!!
