Custom Arts and Crafts Lanterns
<< Previous | Main | Next >>

Grand Light was contacted to fabricate several large custom outdoor and indoor Arts and Crafts style lanterns for a private up-scale residence in New York.

All of the custom outdoor lanterns are made in copper with amber mica glass panels, and will not receive any patina finish. A protective coating of lacquer will be applied to the Mica panels to help protect them from the elements. The indoor fixtures will have a brown patina applied to metal to achieve an antiqued look and will also have the amber mica panels.

The lantern designs were drafted by Grand Light and Cardboard mockups were created to serve as a working sample as to what the client was expecting. Having the items in realistic sizes and look can help the client visualize how it will look on his property. When all the details were approved, fabrication started.

This project includes two large outdoor entry fixtures, 11 outdoor wall mounted lanterns varying in size, ranging from 19" to 24" in height. There will be 4 column mounted fixtures that are designed to match the fixtures being fabricated for the walls and the front entries. Custom backplates will be fabricated on 2 of the wall mounted lanterns in order to accommodate angel mounting on the back side of the home. All the outdoor fixtures have slanted sides and a mansard top, and will have pronounced riveting detail that will give them a raw look. All the pieces have either a removable top or a removable bottom held in place by thumbscrews.

For the inside of the home, 10 large wall fixtures will be fabricated that range in size of 24" to 19". These lanterns are designed to highlight features of the large windows installed in the home.

All of the custom outdoor lanterns are designed in the Arts and Crafts style and are made in copper with amber mica glass panels, and will not receive any patina finish. A protective coating of lacquer is applied to the Mica panels to help protect them from the elements. The indoor fixtures will have a brown patina applied to metal to achieve an antiqued look and will also have the amber mica panels.

Grand Light drafted the sketches for all the different types and sizes of lanterns and submitted the drawings for the clients review. The drawings then passed back and forth for corrections until the client was satisfied.

The first phase of this project is completed with all wall mounted and post mounted outdoor units delivered to the client's residence.
