Period-Authentic Character. Modern Performance.
Lighting for Your Historic Home
Your historic home deserves lighting that honors its architecture, not fixtures that merely approximate the era. From handcrafted wooden table lamps that complement your quarter-sawn oak to authentic outdoor lanterns that guide visitors along your garden paths, these fixtures combine period-appropriate design with the electrical safety and reliability modern life demands—fixtures designed to feel like they've always been there.
Preserve Your Home's Authentic Character
Your home tells its story through architectural details—the way your trim catches afternoon light, how your windows cast patterns across floors, the proportions your original architect chose so carefully. Your lighting should contribute to that narrative, not interrupt it with fixtures that scream ‘modern replacement’ or whisper ‘cheap approximation.’
That's why we study historical examples, traditional techniques, and period-appropriate materials before designing a single fixture. Every design choice aims to enhance your home's authentic character. These fixtures look like they belong because they're researched to belong—not vaguely ‘old-looking’ but specifically appropriate to your home's period.
The difference matters. When your lighting feels original to the home, everything else falls into place. Your spaces feel complete rather than cobbled together, and your home achieves the visual coherence its architecture deserves.
Why Our Lighting Stands Out
Quality Materials
Art glass that glows rather than merely transmits light. Quarter-sawn oak showing the distinctive ray fleck pattern your home's original builders prized. Solid brass that develops living patina over decades. These aren't budget materials dressed up to look expensive—they're the real thing, chosen for how they age and how they perform over generations. Your investment buys fixtures that become more beautiful with time rather than deteriorating into replacements.
Versatile Applications
Your home needs lighting in every space—not just the obvious spots but also the overlooked ones. Hallways that feel dark and unwelcoming. Garden paths that disappear after sunset. Reading nooks crying out for task lighting. Dining tables that deserve something special overhead. We offer fixtures for all of it, scaled and styled to work in historic spaces where ceiling heights, wall thicknesses, and architectural details differ from modern construction. Lighting solutions designed for the realities of old homes.
Highly Customizable
Cookie-cutter fixtures can't accommodate your home's specificity. Choose glass colors that coordinate with your existing windows, finishes that match your hardware, and mounting options that work with your particular walls or ceilings. Customization isn't luxury—it's necessity when serving homes built before standardization.
AUTHENTIC TO YOUR ERA
Shop By Historic Style
Your home's architectural style determines what looks right, what proportions work, and what details matter. Use this section to find fixtures designed specifically for your home's era and aesthetic—not generically 'historic,' but authentically appropriate.
My ranch home in Montana features OC lighting fixtures. Consistent compliments roll in. Great customer service as well! I highly recommend them!
Warm and Inviting
Handcrafted Wooden Lighting
Transform your spaces with the warmth of wooden lighting options. Each handcrafted wooden fixture showcases the natural beauty of quarter-sawn oak and other period-appropriate woods with traditional joinery techniques and hand-applied finishes—these wooden lights bring the genuine craftsmanship of historic woodworking into your home with an ambiance that mass-produced fixtures simply cannot match.
Glitter and Glow
Stained Glass Lighting Masterpieces
If your historic home already has stained glass windows, you understand their magic. These luminous fixtures feature genuine art glass in period-authentic patterns that transform when illuminated, serving as dramatic focal points day and night. Available in chandeliers, pendants, sconces, and table lamps, our stained glass fixtures are crafted using traditional techniques with glass pieces assembled in copper foil, creating heirloom-quality lighting that honors the artistry of historic craftsmanship.
I love my lights, especially the one over the table. They have brought such warmth to my home. I’m still in awe of how they were packaged for shipment. Great care! Thank you so much for all your help through the whole process. Once again, I’m a very happy customer.
Inspiration from Homeowners Like You
Light Up Your Great Outdoors
Driveway & Outdoor Living Lighting
Post lights and column fixtures that guide visitors along your approach while showcasing your home's architectural character turn functional necessity into genuine curb appeal. Durable construction handles weather extremes while maintaining period-appropriate beauty year after year.
Illuminate Your Blooms
Garden & Backyard Lighting
Why invest in beautiful landscaping if you can only enjoy it during daylight hours? Make your landscape a usable retreat after dark rather than just negative space beyond the windows, extending your living area the way historic homes always intended.
Create a Warm Welcome
Entryway Lighting
Your entrance sets expectations for everything beyond it. This is where you invest in lighting that makes a statement—your home's first impression and last.
Create a Grand Entrance
Foyer & Hall Lighting
Your foyer is transition space—the threshold between outside and in, public and private, street and sanctuary. A chandelier or pendant overhead anchors that space, creating a focal point that draws eyes upward while establishing your home's character immediately.
Layer Your Living Space
Living Room Lighting
Your living room demands layered lighting—not just overhead glare but thoughtful combinations of ceiling fixtures, wall sconces, and table lamps that create different moods for different activities.
Brighten Your Culinary Workspace
Kitchen Lighting
Your historic kitchen deserves better than generic recessed cans and builder-grade pendants. Whether you've kept original cabinetry or updated for modern cooking, lighting should honor your home's architectural period while providing the task illumination contemporary cooking demands. Pendants over islands, sconces flanking windows, ceiling fixtures providing ambient light—all styled to complement your home's era rather than fighting it.
Craft a Cozy Retreat
Bedroom Lighting
Your bedroom is yourrefuge—the space where harsh light has no place. Every fixture should promote calm rather than stimulation, using materials and tones that help you transition from day's demands to evening's rest.
