How to Select One of My Lighting Fixtures

Pick a Style
I offer fixtures in six different styles: Four Arm Chandeliers, Three Arm Chandeliers, Two Arm Chandeliers and Wall Sconces in either Up-Light or Down-Light configurations. I also offer Pendant Lights on either metal posts or black hanging cords. Pick a style and specify an Overall Length on the drop-down menu on the Order Form.

Choose a Color
I have created sixteen colors from which to choose. There are eight solid scavo colors that work well in Contemporary settings that I sell mainly as Pendants, and four mixed-frit colors, each one available in a scavo, or rough-textured finish (see "The Artist and His Techniques") or a non-scavo glossy fiinish. The mixed-frit colors work well in Traditional or Period-Style interiors.

Select a Metal Finish
I offer several Patinas that I have developed to match my colors, and I apply them all by hand. I clear-coat them in lacquer to preserve the finish. I also offer Bright Nickel and Black Enamel in Pendants only.

Pick a Shape for Your Shade
I offer six shapes of glass shades. I have developed a technique for blowing my shades free-hand without the use of tools.

The resulting shapes are similar, not identical, which makes each piece of glass I create a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Specify a Length
I make my fixtures to length in two inch increments. Measure the length from the surface of your ceiling to the bottom of the shade and select the closest length from the drop-down menu on the Order Form. (Except Wall Sconces - they are set dimensions.) Prices include Overall Lengths in 2" increments from 18" up to 36". There is an extra charge for longer fixture lengths.

UL listedCanadian UL listedUL Listed
All Fixtures are UL listed to U.S. and Canadian safety standards. They are for use in dry locations with incandescent bulbs with 60 watt maximum.

How to Order
After you have looked at the sample and the color, shade, style and metal finish pages, go to the drop-down menus on the Order Form and create your own fixture.

Delivery Time
Because I make all my fixtures individually by hand, please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. Often it's sooner, and rush orders are possible.
