Some New Northeast Lantern Fixtures...One of Our Favorites!

We have blogged about Northeast Lanterns before...they are one of our favorite, U.S.-made lighting manufacturers (one of the very few).  They just introduced a new collection which we are currently putting online...but imagine updating the interior of your home with new fixtures from Northeast Lanterns, and you will have a freshly updated spring look.

Take a look at their new Interior collection, which includes many new and updated chandeliers, ceiling fixtures, hanging fixtures, and table lamps (you can click here to visit their site).  They also have interior pieces from the Bosc collection, a new offering which incorporates a new glass shape never before offered by Northeast Lantern with the time tested beauty and durability of their popular Onion collection.  The Onion collection has long defined the look and success of Northeast Lanterns.   Another best-seller is the Heal Collection, pictured above.    Whichever design you choose, we know you will be absolutely impressed with the hand-crafted construction and finishes applied to this fantastic collection of colonial-style lighting.

British Heritage reflects upon a time when "the sun never set on the British Empire", and introduced English refinement to the world. This beautiful style is characterized by the sweeping curves of 18th century English designs combined with a hint of relaxed island living. Individual elements and some entire pieces are inspired by historical furnishings in governor's mansions and by the island colonial pieces preserved in Britain's finest manor homes. Embrace the classic elegance that is personified by the British Heritage Collection.

Deep River conveys expansive comfort in a rustic style through hand carved details like plank-style tops hewn from rustic veneers of the sugar maple. Wood pegged joinery, time worn edges and hand-rubbed, burnished surfaces add a sense of timelessness and quality. Generously scaled with coved crowns and a distinctive carved X theme, Deep River translates the natural appeal of the casual American lifestyle to the rigorous functional demands of the 21st Century. Click Here to Shop the ART Furniture British Heritage Collection on Carolina Rustica.

Deep River is crafted from Radiatta solids with wormy veneers, presented in a sun-drenched, hazelnut finish. Crossfire, mineral streaks and pin holes are grown within the maple tree itself and reflect the design and finish of the collection. The deep beveled edges of shaped “X” intersecting moldings present a dramatic architectural motif that travels throughout the collection, and the deep coving of the English Marlborough block foot conveys strength and solidity. Custom designed textured copper hardware features rings, knobs, bail pulls and back plates, all scaled to complement the substantial rustic look of the collection.  Click Here to Shop the ART Furniture Deep River Collection on Carolina Rustica.

Warwick, a relaxed traditional collection with European influences, is distinguished by dramatic book- and V-matched figured cathedral cherry veneers complemented by olive ash burl veneers. Finished in a warm buckeye brown, Warwick is distinctively detailed with rounded turret corners, molded frame overlays and exquisitely carved recessed pilasters. While its style is timeless, Warwick exemplifies up-to-the-minute functionality.
Radiatta solids, figured cathedral cherry and olive ash burl veneers creatively interplay throughout Warwick. The warm buckeye brown finish is textured by light physical distressing, burnishing and wormholes, evoking a “passed down through the ages” history. Custom hardware is finished in decorative antique brass with subtle highlights.  The ART Furniture Warwick Collection on Carolina Rustica will be online soon!
