William Arthur Smith Benson originally studied Classics and
Philosophy at Oxford but after finishing decided that he would
be more suited to architecture, combining art and engineering,
two of his interests. Benson began making metalwork and
went on to set up his own workshop where he created and
sold new designs specialising in the area of lighting.
By 1900 Benson had reached his zenith both in England
and on the continent. In Paris Benson’s light’s were displayed
in Siegfrield Bing’s gallery “Maison L’art Nouveau”.
