The story behind our ‘old fashioned service’

Here at Jim Lawrence we have always been extremely proud of our customer services team. We feel they are second to none at delivering great advice, help and service when our customers place an order, so it was an absolute delight to us when we received the following letter from a new customer who had just received her Granary Light :

There’s not much we love more than the patina of There’s not much we love more than the patina of Antiqued Brass, so we relish in seeing up close and personal customer photos enjoying the details as much as we do! Our Scallop Wall Light pairs sculptural grooves with a vintage finish that will further tarnish and deepens over time for luxuriously rustic look. It’s all about that texture 🐚

The Bulkhead Outdoor Light is a handsome, retro-st 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 elegant range of Antiqued Brass bathroom accessories bring a touch of vintage inspired, classic glamour to your home. The warm brass detailing of our Bletchley range is the perfect choice for an effortless and stylish bathroom update, with our subtle matt lacquered antiqued brass finish to retain the beautiful lustre. It has a wonderful vintage look and appeal and is a stylish alternative to the usual chrome of many bathroom accessories.⁠
With our showrooms sadly having to close their doo With our showrooms sadly having to close their doors again, we thought we could share with you a digital exploration of our second home: beautiful Walcot Street in Bath. Packed with period charm, the Georgian buildings sweep and stand tall with their limestone fronts, the grey flagstone pavements gently warped with footsteps of curious shoppers over the years. ⁠
⁠
The shop itself, 114-116 Walcot Street, is a grade II listed building built in the 1700’s.  Famous for its curved frontage, this was designed to allow horse drawn carriages to turn around in the street. Bath has long been a fashionable destination for city folk seeking a more relaxed pace of life, and it has built up a reputation as the second home of interior design outside London. So where better to locate our latest showroom? We know we will see you again soon in person. Until then, swipe up in our story to see more of our lovely location.⁠
One of the first lights we designed at Jim Lawrenc One of the first lights we designed at Jim Lawrence – and one of the most popular – our Single Cottage Wall Light has a charming but sturdy design that is ideal for modern country interiors.
A handsome welcome into 2021! This beautiful beast A handsome welcome into 2021! This beautiful beast belonging to @life.on.miles might be stealing the show, but still doing a good job of modelling our letter plate on their gorgeous front door.⁠

The weighty surrounds come in two sizes and are available with interior flaps that will keep out a draught as well as add a decorative touch to your door.
