Lamps made from quality hardwoods and intricate metal shades-distinctive in design, material and precision-are our specialty. We also offer beautiful fabric shades and two choices of mica shades. We make every one of our lamps by using precision machine techniques and "hands on" craftsmanship. (In our opinion, craftsmanship is really "artisanship.") We reveal the character of our hardwoods by using hand applied oils and quality paste waxes which bring out-and continue to development over time- the unique beauty and patina of each kind of hardwood.
Designs and Art:
Frobel Blocks, who influenced Frank Lloyd Wright, inspired most of our designs. Franz-GT Kessler Designs also brings forward art and the honesty of the Arts and Crafts Movement while incorporating aspects of Mission Style design. These influences, and the use of the highest quality of hardware components, make our lamps beautifully contemporary.
