Exclusive Wrought Iron Lighting
Light is the finishing touch of any property, and a forged lamp is lighting you notice even in daylight. We design and hand-forge wrought iron lighting for gardens, driveways, facades, terraces and interiors: from a knee-high path light to a five-metre palace candelabra.
Every lamp in our range is forged in our own workshop, so any of them can be resized, simplified or made richer, and any of them can be matched to your gate, fence or railing.
Choose a type of lighting
Outdoor, wall and ceiling lighting
Low and medium forged garden lamps light paths, flower beds and the tops of gate pillars. For driveways, courtyards and parks we make tall wrought iron lanterns and lamp posts, many of them with two, three or more lights. All outdoor pieces are hot-dip galvanized before painting, so they stand up to rain, frost and road salt.
Our wrought iron wall sconces range from compact porch lights to brackets two metres long, and include hanging lamps for terraces and verandas. Indoors, forged chandeliers suit castles, manor houses, log homes and modern lofts alike.
Lamps that are works of art
Some of our lamps are sculptures first: a flamingo holding a lantern, a dragon with a torch, a whole forged tree with an eagle and a fox. See our sculpture lamps and the stained glass bird lamps, built from hundreds of pieces of coloured glass on forged steel bases.
Hand-forged blacksmith lighting, indoors and out
Hand-forged blacksmith lighting has a presence that mass-produced fittings simply cannot match. Outdoors, a forged lamp marks the path, the drive and the entrance and turns the house into a composition; indoors, a chandelier or a pair of sconces gives a hall, a dining room or a staircase its character. Because every piece is forged in our own workshop, we can light a whole property in one style, from the gate pillars to the dining table.
Most of our outdoor lighting is protected by hot-dip galvanizing and then painted or patinated, while interior lamps can keep a natural lacquered steel finish, oxides or gold highlights and finer detail. We also combine steel with stained glass, copper and stone, which led to our stained glass bird lamps.
Planning the lighting of a garden
In most gardens the best arrangement is low lamps along paths, steps and terraces, where people walk, and a few tall lanterns at key points: the gate, the drive, the centre of a courtyard or a lawn. Wall sconces light the front door, the garage and the terrace, and sculpture lamps become a night-time focal point. The bigger the garden, the more lamps and lanterns it can take, and we are happy to suggest where they would work best on your plan.
Wrought iron lighting FAQ
Are your lamps made of real wrought iron?
They are hand-forged from steel, the material blacksmiths use today in place of historic puddled iron. Every scroll, leaf and acanthus is shaped hot on the anvil, not pressed or moulded.
Will the lamps work with US or UK electrics?
Yes. We fit lamp holders and wiring for the destination country, and most of our lamps take standard LED bulbs. Wiring can also be left to your local electrician.
Can you make lamps to match my gate or railing?
Yes, that is one of the most common requests. We repeat the same motifs, finish and colour on lamps, gates, fences and railings so the whole property looks like one design.
