About Master Tinsmith James Glynn

We started James Glynn Tinsmith in 1977, when I decided to leave my New York banking job and turn a hobby into a full time business. In 1994, my wife who is a quilter, joined me and uses her precision to hand pierce the traditional designs in all of our lanterns and nite lights. We have been featured in numerous publications including the New York Times, Colonial Homes Magazine, Country Living and Log Homes magazine. Early American Life magazine has listed us among the top 200 craftsmen since 2001.

 

 

Master Tinsmith - James Glynn

What Sets Us Apart
Our 'Honestly Handmade' lanterns, chandeliers and sconces are exact reproductions. The exceptions are the folk art tin lighting designs that have been created by us. We use only UL approved lighting parts. All of the electric pieces have pure beeswax candle sleeves and special candlelite bulbs to create the feeling of candlelight. The ability to achieve the correct finish on a quality reproduction cannot be overstated. Our finish of old pewter creates a patina resembling 200 years of age and it will not rust.
Here is a short video of us at the Waterford Fair, just outside Leesburg, VA. The sound is off, so you don't have to adjust the volume.
