| 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. |
