The bending was done by heating the glass in a kiln until it " slumped " to form the shape of the various molds that were used. After the desired shape was created the piece of glass was surrounded by copper or lead foil which then allowed the pieces to be " leaded " together with a soldering iron to form the Flush fixture. This Antique Flush Fixture is very often associated with the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau period. Its spare but interesting design works well with the parallel lines in Arts & Crafts furniture. Some of these Antique Lights had a more organic feel to them.
