elegance for an era in flux
The Arden Series
Transform your home with the elegance of America's design evolution! If you love the sophistication of Victorian style but prefer cleaner lines of the Craftsman look, the Arden series is perfect for you.
These fixtures capture the refined simplicity your transitional-era home deserves, with beautiful art glass that turns every room into your personal sanctuary.
behind the design
Transitional Elegance for Your Home
The Arden series reproduces an elegant fixture from early Sears catalogs—when quality lighting was made accessible to American homeowners seeking a new style without Victorian excesses.
If your home was built during that fascinating period when America was moving away from elaborate designs, you know how challenging it can be to find lighting that honors both influences. These fixtures solve that problem by giving you the best of both worlds—the refinement of Victorian taste without the fussiness of an overly ornamented design.
Arden Design Features
Solid Brass Construction
Built from super durable material that will outlast us all—this is the kind of construction that makes lighting a generational investment rather than a temporary purchase.
Feminine Lines
Graceful curves and elegant proportions offer a refreshing alternative to both heavy Victorian styling and the angular, masculine look of typical Craftsman fixtures.
Personalize with Shade Choice
Choose from molded glass for traditional appeal or blown glass shades for sophisticated light diffusion that transforms your room's atmosphere.
I had known about Old California from the circles of the Arts & Crafts community and publications and was waiting for the right project in the renovation of our 1921 Craftsman bungalow in which to incorporate one of their light fixtures...The Arden four light ceiling fixture was a no-brainer for me. It looks fabulous and illuminates perfectly. The handmade glass shades are gorgeous. The metal, finish and manufacture are top quality. I was impressed and appreciative of the design/customer service attention my small project received. I felt that they really cared about my satisfaction with the finished fixture.
Why We Love It
