Innovative, Sleek-Industrial
The Gatsby chandelier introduces a combination of elegance, dramatic linear design, and when outfitted with classic filament bulbs, a soft warm glow to your environment. The line of Congress chandeliers, sconces, and pendants continues this architecturally defined theme with a more casual and traditional ambiance and several design variations.
Glamour
For a touch of glamour, let’s look at Bentley. This sophisticated collection incorporates the use of tantalizing drop-crystal accents and silk-trimmed shades with a variety of gorgeous finish and design options. The whimsical Nest collection of pendants, sconces, and chandeliers is inspired by natural twiggy patterns, and is produced with the organic elegance of oil-rubbed bronze or a silver leaf finish complemented by distressed white scavo etched glass, while the gorgeous Gemma collection features stunning rectangular prisms of amber pearl and clear crystal set within a frame of vintage bronze or silver leaf.
Modern
If you’re attracted to lighting fixtures with a modern touch, let’s take a look at the Chloe sconce with a stunning floating Piastra glass design that exudes an enchanting glow or the Cirrus pendant with its contemporary, undulating, and curvaceous design in ivory fabric. Bijou chandeliers express a modern, Euro-chic design with clean, laser-cut lines of polished nickel set against elegant and dramatic strands of crystal beads with several design variation options to suit your décor.
When it comes to making a sleek statement, sconces should definitely be considered. The Daphne collection introduces dramatic texture to your interior environment with contemporary pocket style bubble-art glass sconces set on your choice of a sleek chrome, brushed nickel, or bronze-finished backplate, and for an attractive modern exterior lighting choice, let us consider the sleek dark sky design of Cascade.
Arts & Crafts
The Chatfield collection is a fine example of East Coast traditional style with large panels of seedy glass, tiered candles, and substantial aluminum construction featuring a mansard roof and corner post finials. The Hudson collection features etched opal glass and an oil-rubbed aluminum metal design that makes this versatile lighting fixture compatible with arts and craft, Asian, and modern design themes.
Traditional
Hinkley’s Plantation collection is considered one of their design staples with luxurious and exotic pineapple-shaped glass and elaborately decorative cast-metal detailing. The Barcelona chandelier exudes the grandeur of classical design with natural alabaster and faceted crystals, and for a southwestern ambiance, let’s ponder the Casa collection, which features pendants, sconces, and lampposts with unique scavo glass and hand-forged twisted wrought iron.
