Handcrafted stylish switches and sockets are the perfect finishing touch to any period or contemporary home. Our range of colourways and designs allow you to think creatively so you can highlight your wiring accessories instead of hiding them. When decorating a room it is sometimes easy to miss the little extras that can add the design flare your room was missing. A white plastic switch is a sight I’m sure we are all familiar with. But, switches and sockets don’t have to be boring or unoriginal!

When we’ve got hundreds of hand finished switches and sockets to choose from, it can be hard to pick which combination is right for you. We thought we’d make it a little bit easier by highlighting a few of our favourite designs…

From traditional antiqued metal effects, to bold contemporary paint colours, our products are available in a fantastic variety of hand crafted finishes to perfectly suit your home’s style.

Our hammered edge is where the switch plate is cut with a sloping, or chamfered edge that is hammered to produce a subtle, rustic aged look. Our bevelled edge is where the switch plate is cut with a straight, slightly sloping or chamfered edge for a slimline, contemporary look.

A beautiful, hand forged double plug socket made from solid natural brass and lightly antiqued for a classic, aged look. This Antiqued Brass Bevelled Plug Socket combines a 2 gang, 13 amp switched, slimline design with black inserts and antique brass rocker switches to create a simple sleek look to suit modern and traditional homes.

Though it’s a bathroom essential, a shaver socket might seem like an afterthought when you’re dreaming up your desired bathroom décor. Wall colour and lighting may come first, but our Shaving Sockets are a practical AND pretty solution to make sure every element of your bathroom is up to scratch.

We have found that making a feature out of the quirks of period homes is often the best way to enjoy them. A hinged design that fits into the floor, this 2 Gang Floor Socket is the dreamy modern rustic detail you might not have thought of, but now know you need! A great solution when you don’t want wires stretching around the room or have limited wall space, you can enjoy floor or table lamps in more central spots around the room, or use them for other portable accessories.

Our rotary dimmers and dolly dimmer switches are trailing edge. Trailing-edge dimmers are more sophisticated than leading-edge dimmers, they benefit the user with smooth and silent dimming control, absent of any buzzing noise. Pictured is our beautiful 2 gang dolly dimmer switch hand forged from solid natural brass and lightly antiqued with our most popular finish. These switches are all made with a slimline brass or steel back plate that sits flush against the wall, with either a straight bevelled edge for a sleek modern look to your home, or an uneven hammered edge for a more rustic feel.

The go-to for modern country homes: the dolly switch. Shown here in our beautiful Heritage Copper, a dolly switch is perfect for capturing the spirit of your period home whilst taking advantage of modern wiring. Copper lends a subtle blush warmth to any interior, creating a lovely aged look that will darken naturally over time, much like our Antiqued Brass finish. Our dolly switches (also known as toggle switches) refer to the toggle-like button you use to turn the switch on or off. Ours are all 20 amp, 2-way.

The antithesis of the standard white light switch: a slick matt black rocker switch, or ‘Modular Grid’ switch. This design adds a modern industrial look, or works wonderfully paired with other black ironmongery and accessories in a contemporary country home. The more modern looking, sloped button ‘rocks’ backward or forwards to turn a switch on or off. All ours are 20 amp, 2-way, 240V.

These are just a handful of our stylish switches and sockets that we have constructed to make sure the smallest details can still be the most beautiful. All Jim Lawrence products are made using traditional metal working techniques and are hand finished to the very highest standards here at our Suffolk workshop, so every part of your room will exude quality no matter how big or small.

Do you need to know more about the finer details? Our detailed knowledge base will guide you through all you need to know on installing our lovely switches and sockets.

For 2020 Pantone’s reigning hue is a classic blue: an indulgent colour perfect for elevating a room from ordinary into opulent. Reminiscent of a dusky evening sky, Pantone’s 19-4052 is said to foster feelings of resilience and tranquillity. Two qualities much sought after in the calm of our own homes, we are thrilled with this choice of colour for the year ahead. With peace and comfort firmly in mind we’ve put together a mood board to reach for when you’re feeling blue and need some interior inspiration…

Get tactile! Create a soothing but stylish living space or bedroom with textured linen cushion covers, and an indulgent luxury feel in the bedroom with our sumptuous velvets. In neutral décor cool tones will lift the room without drastically changing the look by simply enhancing what is already there. For more of a punch, deeper blue and jewel tones enrich your already stylish space with an on-trend shock of colour. Whether you’re feeling modern rustic boho or embracing classic country cottage decor, the great thing about cushions is that you can mix and match wherever you are, whenever you want.

Hunstanton Velvet in Navy, Hunstanton Velvet in Teal, Killowen Linen in Pewter, Waterford Linen in Cambridge Blue

Not only available in a spectrum of blue shades, our lampshades come in all sizes and shapes too. Choose from our cool cottons, luxurious silks and satins, soft linens and the rich nap of our velvets to adorn your favourite light fixtures. Timeless and classic, these styles will take pride of place in both period and contemporary interiors. Top your lamps with plain or pattern, dark or light, and enjoy the enduring and elegant appeal of classic blue.

Candle Shade in Navy Hunstanton Velvet, Medium French Drum Shade in Blue Bloom, Tapered Candle Shade in Slate Blue Silk, Cylinder shade in Blue Waterford Linen

Brass and more brass..! We have long coveted the perfect blue to go with our Antiqued Brass accessories, and know that many of our customers create gorgeous combinations with deep blue paints.

Here we’ve paired Farrow & Ball’s Downpipe with our brass lighting. For living areas and studies try our best-selling Club (pictured) or our stunning Curtis Spotlight, then pair with matching switches and sockets for the complete look. The warmth of our lightly Antiqued finish truly sings against the cooler grey-blue, creating a stylish backdrop for your room that still allows you to introduce other accents of colour.

This is where our new velvet comes in. A richly tactile fabric in Burnt Orange, this latest addition to the Hunstanton Collection will create a sense of drama wherever it is used, perfect for providing a touch of luxury and playfulness against cooler tones. An ideal fit for modern rustic homes, this bold Burnt Orange can be used to contrast or blend, working beautifully with the season’s popular faded earth and gold tones if you prefer a more mellow look. Modelled by our Fluted Harleston Table Lamp, you can also purchase this velvet as a cut length, a cushion cover and in a variety of shade shapes and sizes. What will you style with Classic Blue?

A boot room, a porch, a utility room. These practical spaces might be where you shove your dog walking shoes and hide your coats to keep the rest of the house tidy, but whether it’s the entrance to your home or a tucked away room, there’s no need to overlook this wonderful styling opportunity.

If this area is cluttered it’s not actually serving its purpose. You want neat, space saving solutions to make the most out of a room that is designed to be a transitional storage space. We’ve put together a short and sweet summary on using our products to make the most out of a practical room whilst ensuring it looks its best…

Having coats and bags protruding from wall space can make a room feel too busy. Using our hooks in the nook of fitted cabinetry is a thoughtful solution, leaving the floor space of your boot room to feel open, spacious and uncluttered with plenty of tucked away storage for those necessities.

As demonstrated by customers @holly_oak_house and @casa.stook, our Chandler hooks look stunning in both Matt Black and Antiqued Brass, particularly popular against soft grey cabinetry. The longest double hook in our range, the Chandler Coat Hook is a simple, elegant item that will provide ample storage as well as a touch of charming modern country. If you’re after a full rack or something a little chunkier, take a look at our full collection.

Something we hope you don’t need, but (coming from a British company – you know we like to talk about the weather) it’s inevitable that you will. The Fairfield Corner Umbrella Stand creates a great storage area out of often unused corner space. The slim and elegant design makes it a great accompaniment to any hallway, porch or boot room. We have fitted it with a tray at the bottom for catching rain water which is easily removed for draining. There is also a small tray at the top; perfect for keys or other personal effects.⁠

Inspired by the vintage luggage racks found on steam and slam door trains, our Wendle Luggage Rack is designed to be as beautiful as it is practical and could be the perfect storage solution for a stylish hallway or utility. Hand forged in solid steel, it features a gently curving shelf to stop hats, bags, throws and blankets from falling off. It also comes supplied with seven generously large hooks, three of them cleverly incorporated into the curving side and centre brackets, to allow plenty of room to hang coats, jackets, scarves and dog leads.

In a room meant for storage, cupboards and drawers are an essential. No matter the style, it’s easy to add beautiful finishing touches with knobs and pulls for a cohesive, thought-through look. To add a textural quality and warmth, turning to Antiqued Brass or Heritage Copper with our collection of handcrafted cupboard knobs, drawer pulls and cabinet handles is the way to go. Our beautifully forged fixtures and fittings help to bring the room together with robust materials that show off our classic modern country style.

We love seeing customers embracing our hand forged accessories. Our Matt Black Heart Knocker compliments this gentle off white porch from @marshlands0 perfectly, creating a sharp entrance to their traditional boot room decor. A stylish entrance is so important, ensuring your and your guests feel welcomed every time you step through the door. For more front door decor ideas view our full collection of door accessories here.

As period property lovers, a traditional basket is a go-to, ideal for wood, throws and even shoes that you kick off in a hurry by the door. If you are after a contemporary basket, our Chappel Log Basket is a forged iron construction perfect for log storage and folded blankets.

Last but never least, the lighting! Accent and task lighting is ideal for boot and utility rooms, adhering to the practical nature of the space. This delightful utility room from @humphreymunson features a pair of Club Wall Lights in Antiqued Brass. The brass detailing lifts the room beautifully, proof that this finish works in rooms of all shapes and sizes and tones. Photographed by @paullmcraig.⁠⠀

We love this customer photo from @our.country.home. Our Holt lights are perfect suitors here, lending themselves to more narrow spaces than the slightly broader Club. Function should not overtake comfort, so why not add some sheepskins like they have, or incorporate some plush cushions into the area? We suggest trying out our new Hunstanton velvets for a touch of luxury and softness.

Combining pendants with spotlights creates layers of lighting that you can opt in and out of depending on your need. Our vintage-look Weston Pendant Light is perfect for those small spaces in your kitchen, utility, cloakroom or hallway, where it can be used alongside your existing spotlights (like these dainty Cranfield lights) or recessed lights to inject a little character into your scheme.

If you don’t have space for several types of lighting, we suggest trying our adjustable wall lights for areas that need a bright direct lift. Our Aldgate Wall Light is an industrial inspired design that makes a bold statement in contemporary home after a retro look. It has an adjustable head, so can light as much or as little of the area as needed. Browse through our spotlights and wall lights to find more easy to manoeuvre, adjustable lighting.

No matter your interior design preferences, our range of finishes allow you to choose from an abundance of designs that not only look great but serve a vital role in these functional spaces. From the finer details to integral lighting solutions, we’ve got everything you need to kit out your boot and utility rooms with practicality and style.

We can sing all day about how wonderful our products are, but it means nothing without the support and feedback from our customers. With this in mind, we thought we would identify and highlight the items most popular with you, showcasing the most loved and ‘in demand’ lights from our collection.

We’ve compiled a list of our best selling lights, celebrating the products our customers return to again and again. This is our list, recommended by you…

If you’ve had the pleasure of seeing this Orla Pendant in person it’s no surprise she is a top seller. Like her smaller sisters, the Ava and Mia, our Orla features a beautiful tear drop, fluted glass shade so you can enjoy its delicate hues wherever it is hung.

Designed to sit perfectly above a kitchen island, breakfast bar or dining table, the transparent quality of the hand blown glass allows you to create a stunning focal point without losing any sense of space.

The Lovell’s hand blown glass shade has a clean contemporary shape, while its antiqued brass fittings, heritage-look brown braided cable and Georgian ceiling rose are all reminiscent of vintage lighting.

An ideal pendant for kitchens, we’ve found the Lovell looks best hung in a trio or pair over an island. The clear glass shade enables you to see the internal brass fittings which gives it a touch of industrial chic that will suit any modern home and makes it an ideal choice for updating a traditional one.

One of the first lights we designed at Jim Lawrence – and still one of the most popular – our Double Cottage Wall Light has a strong, unfussy design that is ideal for country modern interiors and lends itself for use in bedrooms, kitchen diners and living rooms.

Its fine proportions, beautiful ribbon detailing and generously sized drip trays exudes an elegant simplicity. Lovingly hand forged from solid brass that has been lightly antiqued for an aged look, the Double Cottage Wall Light is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to update their interior without losing any sense of period charm. It goes in just about any room, always looking right at home.

Our take on the traditional lighting you find in gentlemen’s clubs, the Club Wall Light has a neat unfussy, vintage presence that produces a lovely pool of light for a subdued atmosphere in a large room or for tasking if placed over a kitchen unit or a console table.

Hand forged from solid natural brass and featuring a spun brass shade which directs its light downwards, the Club Wall Light is made here at Jim Lawrence using traditional brass working techniques highlights the skill of our metal workers and their ability to make lights with a timeless quality.

Our lovely vintage style Raydon Wall Light oozes an industrial chic that will add a designer touch to your bathroom, loo or shower room. IP rated for use outdoors or in a bathroom, it looks fabulous hung either side of a mirror and sits as comfortably in a modern setting as it does a traditional one.

With its slightly opaque, tubular, fluted glass shade and unadorned backplate, the Raydon has a personality that is reminiscent of the factory lighting schemes that prevailed during the interwar years when modernism was in vogue and designers were looking for new ways to make products with an emphasis on simplicity and function. They fit perfectly within our Stratford Bathroom Range.

A favourite with interior designers, our Cheltenham is a stunning wall light handmade from solid natural brass that combines the very best of period styling with modern technology to produce a beautiful yet robust light with a smack of industrial chic about it. With its beautifully fluted, slightly opaque, individually hand blown glass shade, it is reminiscent of art deco styles that were popular during the 1920s when designers looked to modern architecture, ships, motor cars and trains for geometric patterns they could recreate around the home. We love seeing the myriad ways the Cheltenham is styled by both designers and customers on Instagram – it really goes to show how versatile this little light can be.

The Bulkhead Outdoor Light is a handsome, retro-style garden wall light with a robust and practical styling that is reminiscent of shipping and industrial days gone by. A fabulous addition to our garden lighting range, it has been hand cast in solid, natural brass which gives it a wonderful weighty quality that will brighten up your exterior walls, porch or outbuildings.

This light was originally designed with Jim’s family farm in mind as he wanted to create a stylish and practical outdoor light that would conceal ugly exterior wires on his outbuildings. It’s a fantastic example of British design and manufacture and was even shortlisted as ‘Product of the Year’ at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Featuring a hand blown, clear glass shade, set in a vintage-style brass cage with a deep backplate and decorative screw fixings, the Bulkhead will weather any storm and is the perfect finishing touch to any garden design. Its IP44 rating means it’s also suitable in bathrooms for an impactful punch of industrial luxe.

Our solid brass Canterbury Lantern is a stunningly handsome outdoor pendant light that will instantly create an impact switched on or off thanks to its robust quality and grand proportions.

In its making, we were inspired by the beauty of Georgian and Victorian carriage lanterns that we have reimagined in a more contemporary and practical style for today’s homes. Our Canterbury is hand forged from solid, natural brass that has been lightly antiqued for a subtle, aged appearance and is IP rated 33 to ensure it will withstand everything that the British weather can throw at it.

Each of these lights bring a unique design to the table, and as they’re always hand forged and finished by us, the quality never wavers either. We are thrilled that our customers choose to come back to us for these reasons. We never forsake style for function, and love that these Jim Lawrence favourites are now a staple in your homes.

You probably know about our popular curtain poles or very Instagram-friendly Heart Door knocker. You might even own our sought after Cheltenham Bathroom Lights. We have many items that you can recognise quickly as a Jim Lawrence design, but with over 8,000 products there’s plenty that you might not know you needed. We aren’t here to tell you what to buy, but we do know a thing or two that could help make that decision a little easier…

With many of our customers living in period homes attracted to our vintage style, we have developed some clever solutions to some common home styling predicaments that tend to arise in older homes. Here are our top five accessories you didn’t know you needed, helping you to make the best of your interior and exterior design.

Sometimes when installing outdoor lighting (which we have plenty of) often the practical side more is overshadowed by the ‘wow I have to have that light!’ side… Sometimes outdoor lighting can present some interesting dilemas, such as external wiring. We have the perfect solution for transforming drooping wires from a nuisance into a stunning external feature. Our Antiqued Brass Conduit is a smart way to hide ugly exterior wiring, particularly when combined with our slim Doncaster Wall Light or Bulkhead Light.

We want to make sure our conduit kits are a breeze to install, so don’t forget to read our easy “how-to” guide to assembling your own.

This neat backplate pattress enables wiring to be fitted externally if required. For example, perhaps the Fisher Wall Lights (pictured) are exactly what you’re after for your living room? If there is insufficient space in the wall for internal wiring, you can now purchase one of our pattresses to house the wiring connection externally. This pattress works with a wide range of ceiling roses and wall light back plates and comes in all corresponding colourways to give you a subtle but practical wiring solution.

Ideal for any door in your home, Jim Lawrence hooks are a fantastic way to clean up clutter where space is tight or keep your favourite coats, dressing gowns or kitchen utensils close at hand. Choose from a selection of individual hooks, hook racks and shelves in a range of finishes to ensure you get the right look.

Top tip: Our Beeswax finish is made using traditional technique used since Tudor times. The metal is heated until it darkens and then dipped in natural beeswax which gives is a lovely soft black wrought iron effect. Whilst this looks stunning in all settings, we do not recommend the beeswax finish for hanging up damp items and for use in bathrooms or outdoors, as it may rust in a humid environment. We feel that Matt Black is the preferable option.

We can’t imagine an Escutcheon is the first thing you think of when styling your home, but it shouldn’t be the last! These small details complete your overall look and prove particularly useful… Spring might be on the horizon, but there’s nothing worse than a cold breeze sneaking in to the home and an exposed keyhole might just be the culprit. Available in a variety of finishes and designs to suit your architecture and other door furniture, our Escutcheon’s feature a traditional keyhole shaped surround with a flap that will keep out the draft all year round.

We have found that making a feature out of the quirks of period homes is often the best way to enjoy them. A hinged design that fits into the floor, this 2 Gang Floor Socket is the dreamy modern rustic detail you might not have thought of, but now know you need! A great solution when you don’t want wires stretching around the room or have limited wall space, you can enjoy floor or table lamps in more central spots around the room, or use them for other portable accessories.

These are just a handful of items that we have constructed to make sure everyone can enjoy a bit of Jim Lawrence in the home. To view all of our lighting and home accessories visit our website.

With Spring on the way, what better way to create a fresh new look than by restyling your room with our hugely popular Featherdown fabric in a beautiful new colourway – Duck Egg Blue.

This lovely fabric features the Featherdown’s delicate feathers on a pale blue background, a perfect fit for this season’s pastel trends. Elegant neutrals are here to stay, and this soft blue-grey will blend effortlessly with warm and cool tones, bringing modern country design to both parred back and busier schemes.

Available as a candle shade, cushion cover or cut length of fabric, this natural cotton has a tight weave and uniform appearance which makes a lovely alternative to linen. Offering a pretty country style print and muted colours, this new fabric perfectly encapsulates and celebrates our Great British heritage.

Complement your soft furnishings with our original Featherdown fabric in stone. According to Elle Décor, warmer earthy pastels will be making a name for themselves this year, with colour trends shifting to more organic and earthy tones. With its soft shades of brown, grey and duck egg blue, it has a soft, countryside feel to it that will combine perfectly with your existing neutrals to take you through the year.

Known for its versatility, cotton is one of the most commonly used fabrics for lamp shade making as it is lightweight, durable and has a softness which is ideal for diffusing light evenly around a room. Accessorise with brass accents or gunmetal grey fittings to achieve the most up to date look. Our favourite way to showcase this colourway is as a candle shade paired with our antiqued wall lighting. The Featherdown will bring a little playfulness to the warm glow of your interior…

You don’t have to revamp an entire room for your spring clean! Just switching the materials and colours of cushions in a room can totally transform the atmosphere. As always, no matter the fabric, all of our cushions, shades, curtains and blinds are handmade here in our Suffolk workshop by our talented soft furnishings team.

Jim and Sheena, his wife and business co-owner, began the business you see today from humble roots at their kitchen table in 1994. As time passed and orders increased, business outgrew the farm buildings it was housed in. Customers, staff and delivery men struggled daily down a bumpy farm track to find it. Since most of the staff came from the nearby market town of Hadleigh, Jim moved the company there in 2008, taking over an empty bottling factory on the outskirts of town that came with lots of room for workshops, offices and a warehouse.

We’ve shared a tour of the stunning historic Walcot Street, the location of our new showroom, but realise we hadn’t shown you around our first home. Time to give our Suffolk location a little love…

You will find our beautiful Suffolk showroom in the historic market town of Hadleigh where our shop and workshop is located on Lady Lane just off the A1071 Ipswich Road. Our showroom houses our entire range of over 8,000 products. You can see how stunning our lights look in situ and use our displays to find inspiration for your window, door and bathroom accessories. While you are here you could pop into the centre of Hadleigh for a coffee and bite to eat and wander along the old High Street, marvel at its beautiful old buildings and eclectic mix of shops, services, restaurants, cafés and pubs that are known for their individuality, quality and care.

Hadleigh is an ancient market town full of character and history, set in the lush and fertile valley of the River Brett. Once an immensely wealthy wool and cloth town, the manor of Hadleigh was given to the Priory of Canterbury Cathedral in the 13th century meaning it was under direct control of the Archbishop of Canterbury for hundreds of years. These days you will find many attractions such as local treasure Ferguson’s Delicatessen, go-to brunch spot the Jet Lounge and of course the nearby Marquis Hotel & Restaurant, which features many of our Jim Lawrence lights.

If you want to get your teeth into the local shops, there’s no better place to start than Hadleigh’s Old Bakery, now a vintage Emporium, stuffed to the brim with unique and antique finds. Along the highstreet you will find a selection of independent clothing and gift shops to enjoy too. In the tucked away Maiden Way just off the main thoroughfare you will find The Little Grey Bird,  who are stockists of lovely hand-painted furniture. Here you will also find Mung Bean, Hadleigh’s local organic wholefoods store.

If there’s one place you need to pop your head into, it’s the Adnam’s shop. Adnam’s brew amazing beers and spirits from grain-to-glass in the nearby coastal town of Southwold, and their shop is stocked with their finest drinks and barware. You can even pop in for a tasting after visiting our showroom, why not?

If you’ve come by for the history, Hadleigh retains many of the 15th-century brick and timber framed buildings. Suffolk is famous it’s historic architecture, and Hadleigh has no less than 246 listed buildings; four of them Grade 1 – The Guildhall, St Mary’s Church, the Deanery Tower and the Coffee Tavern in the High Street where you can see beautifully detailed 17th century decorative plasterwork or ‘pargeting’. The town lies in the heart of Constable Country, so called because it produced two of our most famous artists – John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough – who were born and lived nearby and whose paintings celebrate the beauty of our big Suffolk skies and idyllic countryside.

As many of our lighting designs are inspired by our Great British heritage, we feel it’s our duty to appreciate the history of our surroundings. You’ll notice that many of our products are named after nearby locations across Suffolk and Norfolk. From hints of the coastline in our Scallop Wall Light and delicate strands of wheat in our Sussex Lights, the surroundings from which we built our brand upon are ever present in our design work.

Whether East or West, we hope you can visit us in one of our beautiful showrooms where we do our utmost to honour the modern country style we know you love.

Come and say hello to at The Ironworks, Lady Lane, Hadleigh, Suffolk, IP7 6BQ. To see a little more of our showroom online and learn a little more about how we operate behind the scenes, read our interview with the showroom team. Feel free to give us a call on 01473 826685 or drop us an email at sales@jim-lawrence.co.uk. We hope to see you soon!

Ensure your is home warm and inviting during the winter months by using metallic copper tones as an accent colour in lighting, fixtures and fittings. Unlike silver or a brash gold, copper lends a subtle blush warmth to any interior. Our Heritage Copper is a natural durable metal with a stunning patina that looks fabulous in period and modern homes alike, which is why we’ve chosen to release a new collection of pendants in this stylish finish.

Our Fulbourn’s, Ava’s, Walcot’s and Holborn’s are now available in Heritage Copper, which paired with our hand blown glass shades creates a bright and airy sense of space that will give you year long delight. Which style will you choose?

A home needs balanced lighting. Choose a solid spun shade to compliment a pendant within your home. If hand blown glass isn’t right for you, a full copper shade is perfect for a room than needs a focal point, and a statement pendant will do this for you. For rooms that need a lift in hard to reach places, our copper spotlights are a practical, modern choice that still blend effortlessly into a period room. If you are after subtle hints of colour, then we have daintier wall light choices to ensure your house looks its best.

Copper fittings look fabulous when matched together, creating a chic uniform look with their soft, buffed patina. Combine woollen textures with copper detailing such as handles, switches and sockets for a softer, cosier winter look. Choose from plain and patterned tweeds woven exclusively for us by Lovat Mill. Each fabric colourway evokes the landscape of beautiful Scottish skies, rivers and lochs – allowing for a perfect modern country marriage when paired with the rustic nature of our heritage copper metalwork.

Our Heritage Copper products are created by our team of craftsmen who hand finish each solid copper piece with an antiquing solution to accelerate the natural process of tarnishing. This process produces our beautifully soft, heritage finish suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. A free metal swatch is available on request if you need a little help to decide!

As our Heritage Copper products use natural, un-lacquered copper, it will continue to age and develop a darker dull patina over time in your home. This is particularly hastened in damp or harsh outdoor environments. To decelerate this aging process we recommend applying a good quality metal cleaning solution to the tarnished areas. Simply work the cleaning solution in by rubbing briskly with a soft cloth and then buff the copper to restore its original lustre. Please note that chemical polishes can strip away the original antiquing solution too so take care to use cleaning products sparingly to retain the aged heritage look of the product.

We are very proud of the quality of our workmanship and designs that we feel highlight the skill of our metal workers and their ability to make products that suit both contemporary and period properties. To learn more about how to take care of all of our unique finishes, click here.

Searching or that wow-factor light for next years renovation? Or simply something bold and beautiful to refresh a stale interior? Look no further… We are delighted to introduce our much loved oversized Greenwich and Richmond Pendants in new Nickel, Matt Black and Polished finishes. Previously only available in Antiqued Brass, each of these new designs make for a striking feature in any hallway or entrance space, perfect for boosting naturally dark areas with a large glass shade.

These eye catching pendants feature oversized, hand blown clear or reeded glass shades. Designed to take centre stage in larger rooms or homes with high ceilings, both styles look fantastic in a pair or hung solitarily.

Originally popular in kitchens as countertop lighting, pendant lights are now found all over the home. No matter where you chose to put them, they are an excellent choice for creating an even distribution of light for tasking purposes and to add to ambient lighting. The Greenwich and Richmond are equally beautiful suspended from a vaulted ceiling in a converted barn, loft space or hall – or above a kitchen top or dinind table. Anywhere you choose, these oversized lights are a show-stopping statement for the modern country home.

We polish our forged iron to a gunmetal/pewter finish, then seal with a lacquer to create this slick, silvery look which blends beautifully into home styles old and new.

CARE ADVICE
We advise you clean your polished items once or twice a year at least with a soft cloth. You can seal any chips and scratches in the lacquer itself with a high quality natural beeswax. This keeps the product clean and weatherproof. Lacquers may deteriorate over time in exposed or damp conditions and regular waxing will prolong the life of the product.

A clean uniform finish, the paint is applied with a powder coating process that creates a smooth, hard-wearing surface. This Matt Black look gives these lights a more contemporary industrial feel, a truly stylish addition for more modern homes.

CARE ADVICE
As this is a powder coated painted finish it will require no on-going upkeep, however we would advise that you simply wipe it over with a clean, lint free, soft cloth from time to time to remove any residual build-up of dust and dirt on the product.

To create this crisp clean finish we coat solid brass with a heavy plate of nickel and then a flash layer of chromium to ensure a long life. Glossy and bright, we think this is the best option for kitchen use, the shine of glass and metal helping the bulb to look suspended lightly in the air.

CARE ADVICE
Our bright nickel finish is simply maintained by regularly wiping over with a slightly damp, soft cloth using a very mild soapy water solution. This will remove any grease spots or smudges on the product. For a more persistent blemishes on your products we suggest using a soft lint free cloth and a small amount of chrome polish.
