Well, some 'bog' standard comments then:

I like it, Steve. I do like it indeed. There is an interesting artistic 
world to explore in those decades of the 19th and 20th centuries. I just 
wonder a bit about the colors of the glass which look a bit pale to me, in 
contrast to the background (what is that anyway? I am not entirely sure 
about the geometry on which the lamplight seems to be projected) where the 
colors are much fuller/richer, which remind me more of the lamp shades of 
Tiffany and others; however, I am not an expert, and so might be totally 
wrong about this. So, is this difference an effect of the light?
