1920's lighting has a look you know right away. Think schoolhouse glass shades, brass and bronze finishes, and simple shapes that let a bare bulb glow. Back then, electric light was still new in a lot of homes, so fixtures were built to be shown off. Our pieces keep that same honest style. They look right in an old bungalow, a farmhouse, or a newer home where you want a little history on the walls and ceiling.
We're one of the only lighting companies that still makes its lights here in America. Each fixture is put together by hand by skilled artisans in our shop, not stamped out overseas. You can feel the difference when you pick one up. The metal is solid, the glass is thick, and the parts fit the way they should. We use UL-rated parts, so you can hang it with peace of mind.
1920's speakeasy lighting is all about a low, golden glow. Picture a dim corner booth, a polished bar top, and a few warm bulbs doing the work. Wall sconces and small pendants with amber or seeded glass give you that hush-hush feeling in a basement bar, a game room, or a reading nook. Put them on a dimmer and you can set the mood for a card game or a quiet evening with a good drink.
Kitchen lighting in the 1920's was simple and practical. Most homes had one good ceiling light and maybe a pendant over the sink or the work table. White milk glass and clear schoolhouse shades were favorites because they spread light evenly and were easy to wipe clean. Hang one over your kitchen island or breakfast table and you get bright, useful light with a friendly, old-time look.
Our 1920's lighting fixtures come in all the shapes you'd find in a home from that era. There are flush mounts for hallways, pendants for over the table, sconces by the bathroom mirror, and chandeliers for the dining room. Pick a brass, bronze, or black finish to match your hardware. Mix and match a few pieces and the whole house starts to feel like it belongs together.
When you buy 1920's lighting from us, you get a light that was built by hand right here at home and shipped to your door for free. A portion of every sale also helps provide food, water, and shelter for children in need. That's a good feeling to have every time you flip the switch.
