Types of Lights We Offer
Art and Crafts
Arts and Crafts lighting emerged as a response to the industrial revolution, celebrating traditional craftsmanship and the beauty of handmade goods. Originating in the late 19th century, this movement emphasised simplicity, natural materials, and fine craftsmanship. Arts and Crafts lighting fixtures often feature hand-hammered metals, stained glass shades, and intricate woodworking, reflecting a commitment to artisanal techniques and a connection to the natural world. These timeless pieces continue to resonate with those seeking authenticity and a sense of craftsmanship in their surroundings.


Art Deco
Art Deco lighting emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, boasting bold geometric shapes, sleek lines, and luxurious materials. Inspired by the machine age and the glamour of Hollywood, Art Deco lighting fixtures exude a sense of modernity and opulence. Characterised by chrome, glass, and polished metals, these pieces often feature streamlined designs with intricate details, offering a perfect blend of functionality and artistic expression that epitomises the elegance of the Jazz Age.
WAS Benson
WAS Benson lighting refers to the work of William Arthur Smith Benson, a prominent British designer and manufacturer during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Benson’s lighting fixtures are known for their exquisite craftsmanship, attention to detail, and use of high-quality materials such as brass, copper, and stained glass. Characterised by clean lines, geometric patterns, and an emphasis on functionality, Benson’s designs showcase a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern sensibilities. Each piece bears the hallmark of Benson’s commitment to quality and design excellence, making them highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.


Art Nouveau
Art Nouveau lighting is characteried by its flowing, organic designs inspired by natural forms and structures. Popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Art Nouveau lighting fixtures often feature intricate floral motifs, curved lines, and soft, pastel colours. These elegant pieces are a testament to the era’s fascination with craftsmanship and nature, making them a timeless addition to any space seeking a touch of romanticism and sophistication.
