In-House Design

Our period products and thier hand-crafted production process preserve the heritage and integrity of authentic American lighting design.

The heritage of our products is as important to us as it is to you. Every product and component part in our line is carefully designed in-house to ensure authenticity and quality of detail.

Once inspired by a vintage light fixture or shade, we spend months if not years developing drawings, working with craftspeople and perfecting our techniques in order to produce the best possible quality products. Our proprietary parts have finer detailing and are made of better quality and heavier weight brass than our competitors’ off-shore mass produced parts.

Our commitment to using American vendors enables us to match or exceed the craftsmanship of original antique fixtures. Using American vendors keeps jobs and dying craft production techniques alive in the in the US. Using American craftspeople and vendors also reduces our carbon footprint by minimizing transportation emissions.

We refuse to cut corners when it comes to detailing or quality. Our quality and craftsmanship drives our passion, set us apart in the marketplace and makes our products truly sustainable—timeless in design and built to last a lifetime.
