Wood Chandeliers
Your Arts & Crafts, Mission, or Craftsman interior deserves the authentic character of a handcrafted wooden chandelier. Our wooden fixtures showcase quarter-sawn oak, cherry, and other period-appropriate woods with traditional joinery techniques that celebrate the material's natural beauty. From Gustav Stickley-inspired designs with visible pegs to Greene & Greene-influenced fixtures with cloud lift details, these chandeliers bring the genuine craftsmanship of historic woodworking traditions to your dining space or great room. The warm wood tones and honest construction complement your home's architectural woodwork while providing both illumination and a powerful design statement.
Solid Construction
You won't find pegs or biscuits anywhere in the construction of our wood fixtures. We use tongue-and-groove assembly and cuts of wood that account for seasonal changes in expansion and contraction to ensure a lifelong, rock solid build quality.
Inspired by Stickley
Our manufacturing methods are inspired by the work of Gustav Stickley, the pre-eminent furniture maker in turn-of-the-century New York. His famed chairs are coveted even today for their simple lines that allow the natural beauty of the wood to show, and exposed joinery highlighting their hearty construction.
Choice Materials
We use fine cuts of wood that prefer unique and beautiful grain patterns. Some are built using quarter-sawn white oak, a sturdy hardwood with a long tradition in furniture making. Others start with a sapele base, noted for its dramatically toned, shimmering grain pattern. Consumption and growth patterns over the last century caused sapele to surpass other varieties in quality and availability.

Stained Glass Chandeliers
Your historic home can showcase the artistic legacy of traditional glasswork with our stained glass chandeliers. These distinctive fixtures feature genuine art glass in period-authentic patterns—from geometric Arts & Crafts designs to elaborate Victorian motifs and bold Art Deco compositions. Each stained glass chandelier transforms when illuminated, casting colorful patterns across your dining table or foyer while serving as a stunning focal point even when unlit. Crafted using traditional techniques with hand-cut glass pieces assembled in copper foil or lead came, these fixtures create atmosphere and ambiance that enhance your home's authentic character while providing practical illumination for daily life.
Art Glass
If we're honest, we don't actually use stained glass, because that means the glass had color applied with a paint or glaze. We use art glass. It shimmers and shines in its spectrum of colors thanks to its mineral composition. Each piece of glass is hand poured and mixed—no two pieces are alike.
Experience Matters
Most of our art glass chandeliers are part of our flagship Wentworth Avenue Collection. It requires years of practice on our factory floor before our craftspeople are able to produce these pieces. As such, only our most experienced staff devote their attention to these stunning pieces.
Greene & Greene
Charles and Henry Greene—brothers from the Midwest—developed the gold standard of California Craftsman architecture and design alongside the members of the Hall Brothers workshop in Pasadena. We have the good fortune of working from their drawings, sketches and original fixtures to channel their design past into your present.
