Steampunk is a trend that has been in the making since the early 90s that exploded in the mid 2000s. Self proclaimed steampunks all over the states are investing in Victorian furniture and fixtures, and modifying their laptops and cell phones to look like inventions from the late 1800s. Movies such as The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Wild Wild West, or the new Sherlock Holmes capture the spirit of steampunk. If you have a penchant for old world decor, these light fixtures will provide the finishing touches to your home... Read full article
