Hand Made British Lighting
Do you fancy something a little different and out of the ordinary? Would you like the ability to have a final say in the end result of your lighting? Then this selection of lights is for you! The majority of light fittings in this section are hand-crafted or hand-finished to order.
Handcrafted Lights Made in Britain
Handmade in Britain means that in some cases there is the flexibility to change certain aspects of the design, such as the height, cable type and length or finish. Each fitting is made to order, so please allow 2 – 3 weeks delivery.
Some of the products found here are made from cast resin. These are hand-made using moulds and hand-finished by airbrushing, painting and lacquering to obtain a flawless finish.
Many of the wrought iron light fittings are hand-forged by members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen from iron in traditional designs and finished for you to suit your interior decor. These are available in ten colour finishes, so there is bound to be something to suit almost everyone.
For those who need something different, many of the wrought iron range can be finished in a bespoke colour of your choosing or of a size that meets your specific requirements.
All the products in this category are handmade in Britain by skilled craftspeople capable of cutting, blowing, bevelling, brilliant cutting, bending and fusing glass.
All metalwork is hand manufactured and used to join large and small pieces of glass together by brazing, soldering, and welding. Each handmade light fitting is slightly different, making it absolutely unique.
All the glass featured in these hand made lights is either hand blown, hand shaped or hand fused using specialist kiln techniques. All the Tiffany lights feature handmade glass panels joined together with hand soldered copper strips.
Handmade lighting is expensive, isn’t it? We don’t think so. We believe that our comprehensive range represents excellent value for money.
When you consider the sparkling brilliance of the fused and frit glass range and the fact that no two pieces are identical, they are a great choice. Each piece of fused and frit glass is made by combining two different types of glass together and joining them together in a high temperature kiln so they become one. The glass is then hand shaped according to its use. The effect can be dramatic, causing a dazzling lighting effect when the fitting is illuminated.
Each glass globe is hand blown and many are etched or brilliant cut by hand, creating a spectacular sparkle when lit. The cast glass range is all hand cast, hand finished and hand polished.
Look at the detail in the Victorian, souk and pumpkin lanterns, and you can see the amount of work that has gone into making these stunning lanterns.
