Handcrafted Warmth. Architectural integrity.
Craftsman Lighting
Your Craftsman home deserves lighting that honors the movement's founding principles—honest materials, visible joinery, and designs inspired by nature. These fixtures aren't mass-produced approximations. They're authentic expressions of Arts & Crafts philosophy, bringing architectural warmth and handcrafted character to every part of your home, from your dining table to your garden path.
Preserve Your Craftsman Home's Authentic Character
The American Craftsman movement emerged at the turn of the 20th century as a deliberate response to industrialization, celebrating handcraftsmanship over mass production. Your Arts & Crafts, Mission Style, or Craftsman home deserves lighting that honors these same principles—fixtures that showcase the movement's signature use of natural materials: quarter-sawn oak with visible grain, living finishes that age with time, and genuine art glass.
Each piece in our Craftsman lighting collection features authentic details like exposed joinery, pegged construction, and nature-inspired motifs that complement your home's architectural character while providing the warm pools of light these historic spaces were designed to embrace.
Why Our Craftsman Lighting Stands Apart
Authentic, Durable Materials
Quarter-sawn oak, rich patinas, brass foundations and genuine art glass create fixtures with character and warmth built to last.
Visible Craftsmanship
Your eye notices exposed joinery even if you can't articulate why it matters. Pegged construction registers subconsciously as ‘made by hand.’ Hand-finishing details signal quality your guests recognize instantly. These fixtures celebrate honest workmanship the way your home's original craftsmen intended—nothing hidden, nothing fake, every element doing its job beautifully and visibly.
Highly Customizable
Your bungalow isn't identical to your neighbor's, even if they share the same floor plan. Choose from our range of Craftsman styles, then customize finishes, glass colors, and decorative overlays to match your specific woodwork tones, your preferred level of ornament, and whether you want fixtures that blend quietly or make bold statements. Make them yours.
I LOVE this lamp. It is perfect for our house and creates a warm light which makes our living room and library very cozy. The quality of the materials makes me know we will have this lamp forever. I really enjoyed being able to customize the color of the metal, glass, and filigree design. I highly recommend Old California Lighting for quality, unique, craftsman, and artisanal lighting needs. One of the features I really appreciate is the foot switch--easy to turn on and off.
Nail Your Historic First Impression
Craftsman Outdoor Lighting
Your curb appeal tells the story before guests reach your front door. Authentic Craftsman column and pier lights guide them along pathways with architectural integrity that matches your home's commitment to quality. Post lights mark your garden boundaries with the same honest materials you've chosen inside. Day or night, your exterior lighting showcases the distinctive character that made you fall in love with Craftsman style in the first place.
Layered Lighting with Architectural Detail
Craftsman Wall Sconces
Your spaces need layers of light, not just overhead glare. Craftsman wall sconces create ambient illumination at eye level, adding architectural depth throughout your home. In interior hallways, they cast warm pools of light that highlight your woodwork. In living spaces, they provide reading light without harsh overhead brightness. On exterior porches and garage entrances, they welcome guests while showcasing authentic Arts & Crafts details.
Statement Lighting for Gathering Spaces
Craftsman Chandeliers
Your dining table is where life happens—family dinners, holiday gatherings, late-night conversations over wine. It deserves lighting that creates the right atmosphere. A handcrafted Craftsman chandelier brings warm, diffused illumination and commands architectural presence without dominating the room. This is where you invest in the fixture guests remember.
Overhead Illumination with Arts & Crafts Character
Craftsman Ceiling Lights
Not every room has ceiling height for dramatic pendants or chandeliers. Your hallways, bedrooms, and covered porches need flush or semi-flush fixtures that provide balanced overhead illumination without hanging low. These Craftsman ceiling lights solve that practical problem while showcasing the same authentic joinery and art glass panels you'd find in larger fixtures. Your spaces get the light they need and the architectural character they deserve.
Focused Illumination with Period Character
Craftsman Pendant Lighting
Your kitchen island needs task lighting that actually helps you cook. Your breakfast nook needs focused illumination that doesn't glare in morning eyes. Your reading corner needs light directed where you need it. Pendant lights solve these specific problems. Hang them solo or in multiples to create the exact lighting your space requires—beautiful problem-solving at its finest.
...these lights I purchased are just to beautiful not to share. They are absolutely stunning ! I have gotten so many compliments! I would definitely a recommend them to anyone to check out this company before ever purchasing another light. Thank you so much.

Signature Craftsman Lighting Favorites

When you want the absolute pinnacle of Craftsman lighting, look to the Greene brothers—the architects who elevated bungalows into "ultimate bungalows" and created some of California's most significant Arts & Crafts architecture. These are faithful reproductions of fixtures from their legendary Pasadena houses, plus designs inspired by their aesthetic principles. If you're a purist about authenticity, this is your collection.
The Cobblestone Series
Who says rustic can't be sophisticated? Cobblestone proves you can have both—fixtures with visible heft and riveted joinery that announce their solid construction, paired with delicate filigree overlays that add refinement.
