Chandeliers
James Glynn, Tinsmith,
has been creating museum quality chandeliers
for over 25 years. Each tin chandelier is individually handcrafted
in Glynn’s shop near historic Fredericksburg, VA. He utilizes
many of the same tools that our forefathers used when they created
these lighting fixtures centuries ago. The hand rubbed finish
is carefully applied to create a patina similar to old pewter
for an ideal look in colonial or country home lighting. This
is decorative lighting is wonderful in any setting.
