What should you look for in a historic lighting manufacturer?

Here are the various criteria you want to consider when you're deciding what pieces of historic jewelery should adorn your historic home:

  • Does the manufacturer seem to understand and honor authentic period design? What level of historical accuracy do you need?
  • What kind of materials are they using? Cheaper materials like aluminum or tin that won't last as long as brass?
  • Can they adapt designs to meet your specific needs?
  • How soon do you need the fixtures?
  • Do they provide reliable service and warranty coverage?
