At First Presbyterian Church, the room was designed around candlelight. Candles don't last — so we built the candelabra in integral, solid-state LED: the same flame, with nothing to burn out.

In the shop in Floyd, every chandelier comes together one joint at a time — fit, weld, grind, polish. No two fixtures alike, and no two projects the same.

One fixture defined Ford Foundation: a run of solid-brass linear pendants over the workstations. The room's hardest problem — a wide open floor with no place to hide the lighting — was solved in the shop before it ever went up.

Before: decades of tarnish, dulled gold, hazy crystal. After: re-gilded, every bead cleaned until it sparkles again. Lillie Carroll Jackson Museum is back to the light it was designed for.

Up close, the difference is in the metalwork. This is what hand-fabrication looks like at 10x.

Sculptural pendant, faceted metal, warm light. The Barclays Center lounge is a masterclass in how one fixture can set the tone for a whole room.

Every joint gets filled, ground, and polished back to the finish. No shortcuts you can see — because that's the point.

Gold leaf, geometric order, and fixtures fabricated to match the room — the Paramount Theatre ceiling is what custom lighting should look like from the very first glance.

Before it ever comes down, it gets cradled. Every gilded detail documented, every part handled by hand — the first step in restoring a chandelier that's been overhead for generations.

Art Deco geometry, hand-wrought metal. The chandelier at Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center is what happens when metal is shaped by hand.
In the chapel at Virginia Theological Seminary, a hand-fabricated chandelier brings quiet light to a sacred space. Made in Floyd, Virginia — one piece at a time.
Before it's polished to a warm glow, every piece of solid brass passes through the hands of our craftsman. This is the detail only our shop floor can show you.
At Brown University's John Hay Library, our chandeliers illuminate one of the country's most storied reading rooms — hand-fabricated in Floyd, Virginia, and installed to serve the scholars who fill it.
On the grand staircase at The St. Regis Aspen Resort, our hand-fabricated chandelier welcomes guests to one of the most storied hotels in the mountains. Every curve of brass, every crystal — hand-finished in our Floyd, Virginia shop.

Built in our Floyd shop for the Laurens County Courthouse in Manning, SC — the state's fifth-oldest courthouse, built 1837. A $15 million restoration brought it back to its 1911 appearance, re-dedicated this May. Greek Revival to match the room it hangs in.
The Chatham Pendant — a single clean globe on a slim brass frame. No ornament to compete with the light, just the light.
The Hampton Roads Drum Pendant — an openwork brass lattice around a field of opal glass. Shown here installed in the grand atrium at Christopher Newport University.
A chandelier for the entry portico of Endeavor Hall at Parkland East Campus, hung on the building's central axis to light the main doors. The dark metalwork sits quietly with the stone and brick, letting the architecture lead.
