Book Overview
John D. Adams explains how home craftspeople can construct Arts and Crafts-style lighting with simple materials and ordinary hand tools. The introduction discusses cardboard frames, colored paper shades, wooden stands, basic reinforcement, and the general construction method used across the projects.
The chapters provide measurements and instructions for a range of useful furnishings, including portable table lamps, reading lamps, chandeliers, lanterns, a dining-room dome, wall lamps, and a piano lamp. The book is suited to craftworkers, antique collectors, historians of American style, and readers interested in vintage furnishings.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- A one-light portable lamp for a desk or small table
- Two-light and four-light portable lamps
- Four-light chandeliers and a chain-hung chandelier
- A dining-room dome, reading lamp, parlor or den lantern, and porch lantern

Why This Book Matters
This volume documents a practical approach to Arts and Crafts lighting using inexpensive materials. Its republication preserves an early twentieth-century handbook devoted to lamp construction and decorative handicraft.
The projects also provide reference material for readers studying vintage furnishings, American style, and the construction methods described in the original Popular Mechanics handbook.
