Clash course!
Mixing antique and contemporary statement pieces such as lighting and furniture together is the new vogue and according to this interesting article from the Sunday Times. Its well worth a read, a relevant quote from the article is as follows:
“Whether you want to update a traditional setting or introduce an antique touch to a contemporary interior, lighting is crucial. Clever use of modern lights can transform the most traditional room. And a carefully chosen period light, such as an early-20th-century cut-glass Italian chandelier or an old Chinese urn lamp, can soften a minimalist interior’s harsher edges.”
