About James
& Joyce Glynn
Master Tinsmiths
|
| My wife, Joyce, and I are the
only employees in our tin lighting business. We started it 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. |

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. |

Fair, just outside Leesburg, VA. The sound is off, so you don't
have to adjust the volume.
