FINDING YOUR PERFECT MATCH

The trend for using brass in modern kitchen designs shows no signs of slowing. Made from solid, natural brass that has been gently distressed and antiqued for a subtle, aged appearance, our brass kitchen cupboard knobs and handles have a beautiful patina that brings instant warmth to a room. Incredibly versatile, brass works with almost any colourway, suits modern as well as traditional kitchens and looks wonderful with natural building materials. Pair this deep earthy Red Ochre with our Larder Drawer Pull, a slim yet wide pull that offers subtle vintage charm to your kitchen design.

“A favourite colour of mine, Red Ochre with Antiqued Brass is a wonderfully traditional pairing, creating a homely, traditional look. This red is not bright, but deep and earthy, so it doesn’t dominate a space. It was often used in old country kitchens. The brass compliments it beautifully, bringing out the warmth in the shade and making sure the traditional country kitchen look is right up to date. “

PAIR POLISHED LACQUER
WITH SMOKY SHADES OF WOODLAND GREEN

Handcrafted from high quality steel that is polished to a deep gunmetal grey colour, our Polished finish really showcases the stunning patina of the metal which is then sealed with a high gloss lacquer to give it added durability. A dusky colour like Drab Green is a wonderful choice for this brushed steel effect. These lovely Large Napier Cupboard Knobs are perfect for those of you who want to steer towards a more modern country look without the bright lustre of a contemporary chrome finish. Possibly our most versatile cupboard handle, our Napier Knobs are universally loved, bringing a classic look to any style of furniture that need reviving.

“Create a truly heritage look by using Drab Green with the Polished Drawer pull. Green is always a popular choice for kitchens, yet this one’s differences come where it is not too pale, nor too dark. Use it all over (including walls) in a pantry with wooden worktops and panelling for a real heritage look, or on cabitery for a brighter, more modern country kitchen feel. It is a shade of green that is extremely versatile and easy to live with, no matter the age of your property.”

MATCH MATT BLACK

WITH CREAMY WHITES & NEUTRALS

Black won’t ever go out of style, but in our home sanctuaries it can sometimes feel safer to opt for softer and lighter colour schemes. Whilst many of us adhere to this and are partial to more natural neutrals, a contrasting black is a sure way to offset these softer tones and create striking monochrome accents in any interior. A clean uniform finish, our Matt Black finish is created by applying  paint with a powder coating process that makes the smooth hard-wearing surface you take home.⁠ Pair Edward Bulmer’s Milk White with our Cook’s Drawer Pull in Matt Black for a gorgeous take on traditional country cottage decor.

“This pairing is perfect for a wonderfully fresh kitchen space. I love this white because it’s warm and strong enough to stand alone as a cabinetry colour. The addition of matt black for the cupboard knobs and handles can create a traditional, or modern monochrome style. Use this pairing with wood in a kitchen to give it a warmer, more rustic feel, or combine it with a white or black counter top for more modern, minimalist monochrome style.”

COMPLEMENT HERITAGE COPPER

WITH SAFFRON OR MUSTARD YELLOW

Heritage Copper is a natural durable metal with a stunning patina that will turn up the modern country dial with little effort. Persian is strong brown yellow akin to a mustard, perfect for pairing up with the rustic blush hue of our copper Gilby Drawer Pull. Think vintage jelly molds and antique pots and pans…beautiful against classic white and an earthy yellow like this one, it’s hard to imagine a true country kitchen without it. Achieve this vintage look using distressed Heritage Copper tones, adding warmth for that lovely lived in feel. Give your kitchen cabinets, cupboards and drawers an instant update with our handcrafted Gilby Drawer Pull: made with a quality you can appreciate with every touch.

“Yellow kitchens are very on trend at the moment, and this colour is warm and bold whilst staying earthy. The Heritage Copper handles complement the warmth of this optimistic shade to bring it all together beautifully.”

CONTRAST OUR SILVERY NICKEL

WITH MOODY BLUES & OCEAN GREENS

For contemporary styling in your kitchen, you can’t do better than Nickel. It has a bright, silvery quality that looks fantastic against Bulmer’s Vert De Mer. Our Nickel lustre is created by plating solid brass with highly polished nickel and finishing it with a flash coating of chrome for further durability. This shiny finish is delightful on our Schoolhouse Drawer and Cupboard Pulls, giving their utilitarian style a charming update for the modern home.

“This is a pairing equally at home in a modern country farmhouse kitchen as an on-trend London apartment. Vert De Mer is a rich, timeless blue that is beautifully emphasized by the freshness of the Nickel finish in this scheme. Pair with limestone floors for a country feel or quartz or marble worktops for a modern touch.”

Before our products arrive at your door, there’s a long process to get through. The journey begins when a product is a mere twinkle in the eye as an idea forms. Once we’ve scribbled down plans and sketched a design the manufacturing process begins. From welding to forging, metal spinning to hand finishing and lampshade making to wiring our lights, we do it all. Even the careful packing of your product into our boxes…when you buy from us, you help keep so many traditional British skills alive.⁠ To find out more about our heritage roots, read the Jim Lawrence story.

An historic colour that dates to the earliest days of blacksmithing, black hued ironmongery will give your home a smart and traditional feel that will never age.

THE HACKNEY OUTDOOR LANTERN

Our wall mounted Hackney Lantern is a handsome, vintage-style outdoor wall light that has been hand crafted from high quality steel and painted Matt Black for a quality look to your outdoor lighting scheme. Traditionally styled on the carriage lanterns of the 19th century, it has a an elegant swan neck arm, gently tapering frame and hand blown glass sheets that gives it a beautifully robust and practical design that will lend your garden, porch or outbuildings a sense of timeless charm.

An alternative to the wall mounted design, the Hackney Lantern with chain can be ceiling mounted to suspend in your porches and hallways. The Hackney Lantern comes supplied with 50cm of black chain and cable and a ceiling rose and fixing screws in the same finish. We also make a selection of wall brackets should you wish to hang your pendant lantern from a wall but keep the feature of the cable and chain.

THE SHIP’S LIGHT

Hand crafted from high quality forged iron that has been painted in our smart hard wearing Matt Black, the Ship’s Wall light features a hand blown glass shade encompassed in an industrial-style steel cage. Inspired by the deck lights once found on ocean liners and steamboats, the Ship’s Light is as stylish as it is hardy, capturing the essence of a vintage find rather than a new item you can easily purchase at the click of a button. Of course this is because they are hand crafted and finished by us, which means they are made to last just like the high quality designs of days done by. This might be why they have long been one of our most popular outdoor lights.

THE BOATHOUSE WALL LIGHT

This Wall Light is the beautiful Boathouse, a Gold Award Winner in the Best Lighting Category at the House Beautiful Awards. As the name suggests, this light has a lovely nautical feel that will enhance any outdoor setting whether a coastal property or a modern townhouse. A relatively small wall light, the Boathouse’s most appealing feature is the elegant spun brass bell shaped shade and short swan neck arm that has been painted in our smart and hardwearing Matt Black to complement its heritage roots.

THE PEACOCK LANTERN

A pretty vintage-style forged iron lantern made for your porch, garden and exterior walls. The Georgian style Peacock Lantern is one of our most popular outdoor wall lights, the sweet detail of the back mirror reflecting light from the bulb at night and the beauty of your garden during the day.

Hand crafted from solid, high quality forged iron that is renowned for its non-corrosive properties, this Peacock has been painted in our Matt Black for a simple, elegant matt finish. It also depicts a decorative peacock emblem stamped onto the cap. The Peacock Lantern is modestly sized so it will work well in a small space and it looks fabulous when hung in pairs either side of a doorway or in a row along a back wall.

THE FINSBURY LANTERN

A more pared down version of our best-selling Peacock, the Finsbury Lantern combines the classic elegance of a traditional outdoor wall light with modern LED technology, to produce a light that is as beautiful as it is practical.

Hand crafted from high quality steel that has been painted Matt Black for an authentic, traditional appearance, we’ve kept the design details of the Finsbury to a minimum to create a simple, linear wall light with an understated elegance that will complement a modern setting yet won’t look out of place in a traditional one

THE NEWPORT DOWNLIGHTER

A dream choice for the more contemporary home, our Newport Downlighter will provide beautiful accent lighting wherever it is used. This unique light projects subdued beams of warm light down your walls, perfect for illuminating house names and numbers, lining a path or lighting up a driveway.

THE COACH LANTERN

A decorative outdoor wall light in classic matt black, our Coach Lantern design takes the best old fashioned styling and combines it with modern lighting technology to produce a handsome exterior wall light that is as practical as it is pretty.

THE STANDARD CANTERBURY

Our solid steel Canterbury Lantern is a handsome outdoor pendant light that will instantly draw your eye thanks to its imposing proportions. Designed to illuminate your front door, porch or gateway, it has a robust quality and timeless elegance that will suit modern as well as period properties.

UNDERSTATED DESIGN

Industrial style lighting is all about practicality and versatility. Clean lines, simple forms and stark contrasts are a must, with an emphasis on natural materials and bare finishes. Made by us in our Suffolk workshop using traditional techniques, it’s no wonder our designs lend themselves beautifully to these more rustic hand finished colourways.

Our handsome, retro-look Aldgate Wall Light blends a classic lighting design with an industrial look to fit perfectly into the trend for stylish, vintage style lights for loft space living or kitchen lighting schemes. With its graceful swan neck arm and fully adjustable head that can be moved forwards and backwards, the Aldgate is the perfect combination of practical and stylish. Shown above in our contemporary Polished finish, this Aldgate is manufactured from solid high grade steel and polished to a deep, gunmetal grey.

To truly get the industrial look, find fixtures where the inner workings of the light are on show, such as a metal lamp holder, visible or oversized bulb and lots of braided cable. Originally, our cage-like Cowley Pendant was made to show off the beauty of a bare Squirrel Cage Bulb that was made for illuminating the sparse brick rooms of an old piggery on the farm. Refined by our design team to blend into a manner of interiors, you can now enjoy it in your home too.

MAKE THE MOST OF MINIMALISM

Make the most of your space by creating a clean, uncluttered interior that focuses on practicality and ensures your attention is drawn to your fixtures and fittings where you can make an impact with the bare essentials. Hanging pendants are perfect for introducing character and individuality into a scheme while keeping a sleek minimalist design. Choose ceiling lights with a simple outline and in block colours to create a bold statement and don’t be afraid to juxtapose modern designs with timeworn accessories for a great, layered lighting scheme.

@restore_home

MAKE A STATEMENT 

As an alternative, naked bulbs paired with our Pendant Lampholders allow you to make a real ‘loft-inspired’ feature in the home. You can enhance the natural light whilst making a statement with unique or oversized bulbs. This beautiful kitchen belons to Sian from @restore_home_. Read our interview with Sian, exploring more of her vintage-look home which is framed with a cool industrial edge.

You can still get creative even when taking a minimal approach. We offer a variety of cut to order braided cable colours to mix and match with your metalwork and paint colours.

COMBINE FUNCTIONALITY WITH ELEGANCE

Our glass pendant lights will bring some sparkle to a space as well as show off the beauty of a heritage-style bulb, while our hand forged hardware will help you turn up the rusticity.

The Bellingham features a simple, cylindrical glass shade that is cleverly suspended from three brass arms, and a visible lamp holder for added dimension. Paired with our vintage-style chain and cable, these lovely pendant lights are made with kitchen island lighting in mind.

Clear glass shades bypass the visual imposition that can sometimes happen with weightier lighting and higher ceilings, allowing light to pass through whichever room you choose to place it. Pairing the beauty of these large hand blown domes with the blushing patina of our Heritage Copper is a sure way to marry elegance with a more rustic edge. Our Walcot Pendant in Heritage Copper is a popular choice for dining and living areas, inviting multiple levels of Great British Craftmanship into your decor.

FAVOUR METAL FEATURES

Handcrafted, metallic tones will complement natural building materials like wood, brick and plaster. Whether you want to dial up your rugged look or use something more refined, our collection of spun shades and hand forged accessories will do just the trick.

Wanting to create the perfect kitchen light using our Brass finish, we’ve taken one of our most popular pendants and given it a cleverly weighted pulley system so you can adjust its height to achieve the best light for tasking or entertaining. With its elegant silhouette and warm, on-trend antiqued brass tones, our Butler Rise and Fall Pendant Light is a classic kitchen pendant that will look fabulous hung above a kitchen table, island or breakfast bar. For a more pared back version, you will love the simple Butler Pendant Light.

OLD FASHIONED STYLING

The Curtis Spot Light is an infallible choice. Traditionally styled and hand crafted, the Curtis combines the practicality of a spotlight with the beauty of our Club Wall Light with which it shares a similar spun shade.⁠ The Curtis is ideally suited as a down lighter for your kitchen, bedroom or living room. Its rustic finish and exposed braided cable gives it a retro feel which slips seamlessly into most interior styles.

This is our Fisher Wall Light, adding a subtle and gently diffused warmth to the interior of @warehouse_townhouse. Dark walls and brass are a no brainer when it comes to adding a quality lustre to your moody, industrial inspired interior.

Black won’t ever go out of style, but in our home sanctuaries it can sometimes feel safer to opt for softer and lighter colour schemes. Whilst many of us adhere to this and are partial to more natural neutrals, a contrasting black is a sure way to offset these softer tones and create striking monochrome accents in any interior.

WINDOW DRESSING

Why not use hints of ironwork to test the water? A new curtain pole will help you to enjoy a clean classic look which blends beautifully into any scheme. Our slimline made to measure Matt Black Pole is paired here with our dainty sleeve brackets and button finials to ensure these curtains will always look their very best. Styled beautifully for @homesandgardensuk by @claudbry and photographed by @pollywreford.

Not just a mere practicality, our curtain poles and accessories are designed to enhance the inside as you look out.⁠ Our wide range enables you to dress your windows with sturdy quality and elegance – not something that always goes hand in hand. These Manson Window Latches combine age old manufacturing techniques with our hard wearing contemporary shock of black paint. Shop all of our window furniture rages here.

BLACK PENDANT LIGHTING

Of course we’re biased, but we love our Matt Black Ceiling Lights. Black has always been a popular colour choice for interior fixtures and fittings thanks to its versatility (itt complements any colourway), whilst exudes a feeling of smart uniformity. Match classic black lighting with a dark colour scheme to create a sense of orderly calm, or contrast it with off whites or a neutral scheme for a striking silhouette. A clean uniform finish, the paint is applied with a powder coating process that creates the smooth hard-wearing surface you take home.⁠

Searching for that wow-factor light for your renovation or revamp? Or perhaps you are just in need of something bold and beautiful to refresh your existing space? The Stanton Pendant’s slim and architectural lines are striking in a vatiety of finishes, but it’s the bold Matt Black that really packs a punch here, creating an industrial inspired silhouette wherever it is suspended.

This is our Leiston Pendant. A ceiling light finished in matt black with a large gently curved metal shade. Complete with its co-ordinating braided cable, chain and ceiling rose, it’s a bold choice for a kitchen, living or dining space.⁠

The light from the Fisher Pendant is softly diffused through the fluted shade, helping to create a gentle atmosphere for the home. Team up with our Fisher Wall Light for a cohesive style throughout the room. Brilliant for kitchen lighting, this dainty family of lighting looks lovely suspended as a trio of Pendants over an island or counter.

BLACK WALL LIGHTING

Blending our heritage roots and contemporary design, we’ve created a collection of timeless wall lighting with versatility in mind. @kelticklepie has paired our Candle Shade in Laurel Satin atop a Single Gosford Wall Light for a dramatically different approach to classic mirror-side lighting. Beautifully bold, the deep green hues of our Laurel fabric are dark enough to match the black but lift it for a more dynamic look.

We are all fans of the halo of light that pools from the spun shade of the Club: a light made for creating cosy corners out of alcoves, archways and other architectural apertures. This pretty shot from @the_mulberry_home makes the case for the effectiveness of layered lighting. Using our Matt Black Club for subtle light output whilst embracing the impact of the bold exterior creates a real wow-factor in this room.

The rising star: our Chester Wall Light. The electric cousin to our Hurricane Candle Sconce, this light brings a touch of the past to the present which looks equally at home in an industrial space as it does a traditional one. With its hand blown flared glass shade and elegant metal turnings, it is wonderful for adding a layer of soft light to a bedroom or living room. We love this simple shot from @stagedinteriorsstudio, the muted backdrop allowing the black to sing.

The brand new and versatile Brooke Wall Light incorporates the curved arm of our bestselling Club Wall Light but with the added benefit of choosing your own fabric shade. The Brooke can be mounted with the arm facing up or down according to your preference. Fit arm upwards to throw light up your walls for a more contemporary feel, subtly illuminating your ceilings with a comforting glow. Fit arm down to channel light below, creating task lighting ideal for highlighting areas like your favourite reading nook. There are a variety of Lamp Shades available, but here we’ve paired it with a Narrow Cylinder Shade in our Elephant Waterford Linen for maximum impact in creating a high-contrast look. Use in your snugs and living rooms or for ultra ambient light in your bedrooms.

SWITCHES & SOCKETS

Give your room an instant update by accompanying your favourite Jim Lawrence products with our matching switches and sockets. 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 we are all over familiar with, but with us you can find a unique alternative and never have to forsake style for function.

HAND FINISHED SMALLER DETAILING

Enjoying Matt Black drawer pulls and cupboard knobs in a variety of designs is a quick and easy way to make your cabinetry pop, no matter your styling preference. Whether a country cottage or contemporary new build, team them with your light fittings for a uniform look or mix and match for added impact. These small changes are quick and low cost for when you want to enhance your home with monochrome accents. Smaller details like handles can instantly add an authentic cottage style to your home inside and out with ease, whilst prooving that simple additions can still be packed with charm. ⁠

Inspired by the vintage charm of our ever popular Schoolhouse Drawer Pull, we reimagined the design to create this lovely Larder Drawer Pull. A narrower version that is a little more contemporary and understated in character, but still bringing an authentic feel to the room.

These are our hand forged Knotted Drawer Pulls made in our Suffolk workshop. Each knot is hand-tied by one of our blacksmiths enhancing a personalised effect that can only be achieved through hand-made products. ⁠A smooth matt black finish is a winning choice when contrasted against pastels like in this gorgeous room from @alisoncoldridge.

KERB APPEAL

For classic styling for your front door fittings, you can’t do better than Matt Black. An historic colour that dates to the earliest days of blacksmithing, black hued ironmongery will give your home a smart and traditional feel that will never age.

We stock our products in the finishes that we feel suit them best. 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 style.

We are very proud of the quality of our workmanship and designs that highlight the skill of our workers and their ability to make products that suit both contemporary and period properties.

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.

For many years now we have teamed up with Lovat Mill, based in the Scottish Border town of Hawick and known as the Home of Tweed; where the artisan craftsmen follow in the footsteps of generations of tweedmakers to create beautiful, contemporary tweeds.

Taking inspiration from the rich colours of the surrounding countryside, Lovat Mill design and weave estate and country tweeds of the highest quality. Incorporating between five and forty individual colours to produce a range of specially selected herringbones and checks that will add subtle reflections of the natural world to your home interior.

THE HOME OF TWEED

It is an iconic brand with a global reputation, rooted in the land that inspired it. Tweed may be one of Scotland’s great gifts to the world, but it has never cut its ties with home. In the Border town of Hawick, which gave this most versatile of cloths its distinctive character and name, its far-reaching success is a source of pride. At Lovat Mill – the home of tweed – it is a daily, ongoing passion.

As the only remaining tweed producers in the town, Lovat Mill’s artisan craftsmen are custodians of a cloth-making tradition that dates from the dawn of the industrial age. They embody the spirit and ingenuity of their Hawick forebears who, in the 18th century, transformed textile production in the town.

HERITAGE ROOTS

Today, Lovat Mill directors Stephen Rendle and Alan Cumming maintain a keen sense of tweed’s rich heritage. Rendle, like Cumming, is keenly aware of the complexities and craft of textile production: “For us, it’s all about following in the footsteps of previous generations of tweed makers.”

NURTURING TRADITION

You know we are passionate about nuturing traditional skills when it comes to manufacturing, so to have the opportunity support another heritage craft is very important to us. Tweed making remains the ultimate craft industry, partly a work of art and partly a feat of precision engineering. At the design stage, things move slowly and precisely.

Colours are chosen with reverence, yarns twisted with care. Each thread entwined is a labour of love, bringing you the beautiful materials that we use to make shades, curtains and blinds here at Jim Lawrence.

BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN

We offer a collection of wools and tweed from the Lovat Mill in rich earthy colourways: tones that are pulled from expansive lochs, cairns and the heather of the vast hillsides.  Infusing these colours into our inventory of products was an inevitabilty. An almost mythic beauty lies between the mountainous terrain of the Scottish Highlands, which has always captured our interest and been something we longed to weave into our design.

With each fabric incorporating between five and forty individual colours, the end product is always a unique work, blending all our favourite elements of the landscape into one. We are thrilled to continue working with the mill to produce a range of specially selected herringbones and checks that will add subtle reflections of the natural world to your home interior.

STYLING AT HOME

For a soft grey influenced by the smoky quartz of the Cairngorms, our Limestone Tweed and Stirling Lovat Check are both wonderful for inviting a cool neutral into your scheme.

Pictured here on our Double Gainsborough Wall Light and Small Porter Table Lamp, both fabrics have a gentle modern rustic appeal for adding subtle texture to your lighting.

To conjure the uniquely soft purple tint that sweeps across the moorlands and mountains, the aptly named Herringbone Tweed in Heather can be paired with Talisker or Angus Check – two traditional earthy greens. The Heather Candle Shade is photographed with our Grantham Wall Light. Together with the decorative turnings on the candle arm and its elegant length, the Grantham’s are a noble choice for more traditional settings that need a classical touch: the perfect platform for a heritage tweed.

Featured with our Double Gosford Wall Light, the Candle Shades in Angus Lovat Check paralell the aged patina of the brass, offering a harmonious country style ideal for cosy living spaces or cottage bedrooms.

Our two remiaining Herringbone Tweeds in Blue and Granite mirror the surface of Scotland’s most magnificent lochs: bringing a dusky sky and grey-blue tones into your decor.

Our Reeded Wall Light is a pretty choice for a traditional period home, particularly paired with a powdery blue and an off-white paint or panelling. For a daintier shade that still packs a stylish punch, our Tapered Candle Shades in Granite are a keen choice for smaller wall lights like the Single Rowsley.

MADE TO MEASURE

Our expert team of seamstresses create beautiful made-to-measure curtains & blinds from our collection of over 60 elegant country style fabrics. From sophisticated elegance to delightful country cottage styling, our range of handmade curtains and blinds are a stunning addition to any home. The first step to measuring for new curtains is to measure the length of pole you will need to hang them. We will then need to know how long you would like your curtains to hang. Please visit our Guide on the website to learn more.

Jim Lawrence has worked hard over the past 20 years to build up an international reputation for producing classic, high quality products. All our shades, curtains, cushions and blinds are hand made by our talented soft furnishings team here at our Suffolk workshops.

SOURCING MORE HOME IDEAS

What does ‘country cosiness’ mean to you? For us it’s a glowing hearth, soft muted colours and a touch of well-loved rustic metal. Just like our individual tastes, it is only right that all homes are unique, but there are certainly some universal trends that stay in keeping with the well-loved country cottage style.

It’s easy to enjoy an authentic country interior by inviting metallic copper tones into your kitchen. A striking accent colour for lighting fixtures and fittings, copper lends a subtle blush warmth to your decor. Our Heritage Copper is a natural durable metal with a stunning patina that will turn up the modern country dial with little effort. Think vintage jelly molds and antique pots and pans…beautiful against classic white paint or alongside on-trend darker tones, it’s hard to imagine a true country kitchen without it.

Here are some simple ways to incorporate our hand finished copper lighting and accessories into your home this season that you can enjoy for a lifetime.

LIGHTING STYLES FOR YOUR COPPER KITCHEN: TIMELESS GLASS

The translucent qualities of glass can transform a room, creating a stunning focal point without losing any sense of space. Our hand blown glass shades in plain, fluted and coloured glass styles, are specially designed to hang above kitchen islands and breakfast bars where they will make the most of natural light to create a bright and airy sense of space and feeling of flow from one area of your kitchen to another. If you need tips on where to hang your kitchen pendants, the best place to go is our handy how-to guide.

The fluted hand blown glass of the Fulbourn is a striking choice, creating the illusion of softness whilst still illuminating your space with its warm white light.

A go-to for kitchens and dining rooms, the Walcot would look wonderful teamed up with a display of authentic copper pots and pans in a traditional country home.

THE FARMHOUSE LOOK

Turn up your country style with gently rustic solid metal shades. Enhance warm tones and texture with period-inspired detailing to bring an authentic farmhouse look into your home. A classic pendant ceiling light with a nod to retro styling, the Exeter is designed for a country kitchen, where it looks fabulous on its own or in a pair.

The dainty Barbican Pendant light is one of our most popular and versatile pendants lights. With its elegant silhouette and smaller proportions it works wonderfully in pairs or a trio above a dining table, breakfast bar or island unit.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

For rooms that need a lift in hard to reach places, our copper Curtis Spot Lights are a practical, modern choice that still blend effortlessly into a period room.

MATCHING YOUR LIGHTING ACCESSORIES

Swapping your old kitchen drawer handles and knobs for new ones is a great way to refresh your kitchen without resorting to a refit, while using handcrafted ones gives your room a personal touch and lovely ‘lived in’ feel. Our Napier Cupboard Knobs have quickly become a firm Jim Lawrence favourite because they serve just that purpose: creating instant style wherever they are used.

Get the vintage look using distressed Heritage Copper tones, adding warmth for that lovely lived in feel. Give your kitchen cabinets, cupboards and drawers an instant update with our handcrafted Gilby Drawer Pull: made with a quality you can appreciate with every touch. ⁠Also available in Antiqued Brass.

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.  Our light switch plates are all made with a slimline brass or steel backplate 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. Try our 1 Gang Grid Switch for a traditional look with a twist.

PAIR WITH NEUTRAL LINENS FOR A NATURAL LOOK

Copper fittings look fabulous when matched together, creating a chic uniform look with their soft, buffed patina. Combine neutral linen with this unique colouring for a natural touch with a homely feel. There’s no questioning that this dreamy fabric is a interior staple…

We love the grain of linen when lit up as a lampshade, highlighting the sought after textured weave whether in its natural oatmeal hues or dyed a soft colour to match your decor. View our full soft linen available to buy as a cut length to get creative with, a ready made cushion cover or one of our luxury lampshades.

Alternatively, if you want to maximise the feeling of comfort, our heritage wools and tweeds allow for a perfect modern country marriage when paired with the rustic nature of our heritage copper metalwork. A hardy close weave, the fabric is as tough as it is attractive – both rugged and refined – a perfect amalgamation for country style.

MADE BY US

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.

A home needs balanced lighting, so why not 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. We love this customer image from @catwalktocowpat featuring the Leiston Pendant Light in Heritage Copper.

Vintage copper detailing goes wonderfully with our Heritage Copper finish, but you don’t have to go far to find another match. Our Antiqued Brass finish works beautifully alongside the blush hues of copper, as you can see in this gorgeous cottage kitchen from @thelittlestonecottage. Both will further tarnish as time passes, creating our unique and sought after antiqued patina.

Sometimes all we need are little changes that make a big impact. We can’t always rip out our interiors whenever we want a refresh, but there are plenty ways we can enhance what we already have. DIY doesn’t have to be difficult! If your cupboards, drawers and kitchen cabinets are looking a bit tired then a quick lick of paint and some new handles and pulls are an easy way to make the room feel like new.

Match your drawer and cupboard handles to your switches and sockets to elevate all of your details. Thanks to our variety of hand finished colourways, there is plenty to choose from…

Add a charming vintage touch to your cupboards and drawers with our new Cook’s Drawer Pull. Available in Polished, Matt Black and Antiqued Brass, you can match or contrast with your interior scheme. Handcrafted by us and influenced by old timely jelly moulds, this sweet Pull would suit any country, industrial or coastal inspired décor. Pressed from steel, the Matt Black and Polished finishes would make a charming addition to a period home, whether a country cottage or Georgian town house. Our solid Antiqued Brass finish is another excellent finishing touch, but with a more period look for those into aged interiors.

Inspired by the vintage charm of our ever popular Schoolhouse Drawer Pull, we reimagined the design to create this lovely Larder Drawer Pull. A narrower version that is a little more contemporary and understated in character, but still bringing an authentic feel to the room. Available in Antiqued Brass, Matt Black and Polished.

One for the country cottage. Hand forged with a lovely textured handle, the Stoke Pull gives your kitchen style a practical edge with a nod to traditional period homes.

Our Hunstanton Velvets have a rich and sumptuous quality that will bring a touch of luxury to your home. Our first release of this collection was influenced by the sea and skyscapes of north Norfolk, each tone evoking the dramatic sunsets and vast stretched out sands of Hunstanton and the surrounding coastline. We felt we needed a bold, lustrous Saffron Velvet to spice up the collection just in time for the winter season, offsetting the cool colours in the range and brightening your interior during these darker days.

Renowned for our skyscapes thanks to the relatively flat terrain, we wanted this colour to mirror the burst of sunshine on still winter mornings and the climactic sunsets that Suffolk and Norfolk are celebrated for. Our Saffron Velvet is a highly pigmented cadmium yellow, inspired by the origins of velvet weaving in the far East, created as early as the thirteenth century.

Velvet is traditionally woven on a special loom that weaves two thicknesses of the material at the same time. Originally made of silk thread; the structure of velvet is created by warps that are drawn up over rods or wires to make the loops. As the weaving progresses, the rods are removed. The resulting loops may be cut to form dense pile, or left uncut. This gives velvet its weighty and compact yet very soft nap: the rough/smooth feeling you get when you run your palm across it.

Associated with wealth and luxury since its creation, it’s hard to separate this distinctive cloth from its regal and reverent beginnings. Fortunately we are all now able to enjoy the deluxe nature of velvet in the everyday, drawing inspiration from it’s opulent past and weaving this story into the contemporary. Still just as romantic, kingly and divine to the touch, a hint of velvet at home goes a long way. It revives a rooms with colour and its signature glimmering presence: a subtle magic that will continue to capture our interest for many ages to come.

Characterised by its rich depth of colour and nap, our Hunstanton collection is coveted for headboards, drapes, cushions and upholstery. Enjoy our collection of Cushions, Lamp Shades and Cut Lengths.

We feel it only natural to embrace our British heritage when it comes to our products. We knew we had to create a light that celebrated the design-led location of our second showroom, which is where the idea for our elegant Walcot Pendant was born. ⁠

⁠The Georgian detailing that Bath is known for is characterised by a focus on graceful structures, fine lines, and elegant proportions, but sometimes you need a simple accompaniment for more elaborate interiors. The Walcot is made with a hand-blown dome shaped glass shade, a little nod to the bell jars that were originally hung in vestibules and entrance halls of Georgian homes. ⁠

⁠
More pared back and contemporary than old fashioned lanterns, however, this domed pendant is effortlessly stylish when suspended on our braided cable. Clear glass shades bypass the visual imposition that can sometimes happen with weightier lighting and higher ceilings, allowing light to pass through whichever room you choose to place it. This is ideal for Georgian interiors which take pride in architectural symmetry: something the Walcot complements beautifully instead of interrupts. Whether paired with classic brass (widely used on many types of Georgian furniture) or married with our range of other hand-crafted finishes to suit your interior, the Walcot is a wonderful choice fitted in a trio or hung solitarily.⁠

For the larger siblings of the Walcot, view our Chalford and Lansdown pendants. Named after neighbouring locations that are equally beautiful but offer different charms…the same can be said for the lights themselves.

OUR WALCOT STREET SHOWROOM

When we were looking for a location to open our first showroom outside of Suffolk we were always drawn to Bath. Isn’t it such natural fit with our products? You can find us on beautiful Walcot Street, a backdrop perfect for showcasing how to marry the style of our hand crafted designs and the classic honeyed hues of Bath stone.⁠

⁠The shop itself, number 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. Packed with period charm, the Georgian buildings on our street sweep and stand tall with their limestone fronts, the grey flagstone pavements gently warped with footsteps of curious shoppers over the years. There’s plenty to see and do nearby, so be sure to step out of the November chill and see what we have inside before enjoying what the rest of the city has to offer.⁠

⁠You can view our extensive collection of lighting, homeware and fabrics here, including our brand new wall lighting range and cow parsley fabric. Our lovely team will be on hand to help you with all enquiries and orders.⁠ The showroom is open from 09.30am to 5.30pm weekly but please note we are closed on Sundays.⁠ We do not hold any stock in Bath and all orders will be dispatched from our workshop in Suffolk.⁠
