Dimensions
Each item in our line is crafted by hand in our California production facility, and dimensions may vary slightly.
Custom/Design Department
Our design department will assist you in the adaptation of an existing style to your specific needs, or we will create a new design for you as per your specifications.
Custom Finishes
Custom finishes can be developed to meet your specific needs. When requesting to match a customer’s finish sample, a physical sample is required to produce a strike off for approval. Please contact us for more information and pricing.
Shades
Our lamps feature high-quality handmade shades. Shades are available in any of our standard fabrics or parchments and may be ordered to match the finish on the fixture, or you may provide your own material. Parchment shades may be leather or wax laced. Please note: English parchment must be laced. See our Shades page for more information.
