RUSTIC LIGHTING INVENTORY

We are kind of excited around here as our new web site is almost ready to debut. I will let you know when it's on line.
In the meantime I have been going through storage areas and pulling out lamps, shades and ceiling fixtures that are available for sale. Through the years as I have worked on larger projects I have made many fixtures that have never been on the market or advertised. I have some that date back as far as 1992 and carry the ROYCROFT mark. You see for a while I was licenced to use the mark as a ROYCROFT CRAFTSMAN. I left the group when I drifted away from doing craftsmen style work and concentrated more on the OLD WEST an RUSTIC. These are collectors items. Anyway there are approximately fifty fixtures that are finished or in the process of being finished that are available. The significance of this is that usually we don't retail as we mainly work with architects and interior designers. I will be posting more of these items on the blog as time goes on. In the mean time most of what you see here can be recreated for you.

RUSTIC BURL LAMP

This is a nice pine burl lamp with a hand cut wood shade. The color of the shade is a reddish maple backed with handmade bark paper for a warm look. The designs are original and I use them or similar ones on different shades. There are three designs repeated, a bear, a moose and a buffalo. The base has antiqued brass leaves circling the top of the plate. With a three way socket you can go from mood to a good reading lamp. For more information, penrose@hughes.net.

MADISON II RUSTIC TABLE LAMP

This lamp was designed for the new SNOW LODGE in YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK for the night stands in the guest rooms. The shade is made of hand cut blackened copper with mica backing. The base has an inlaid bear in the column. This lamp will never be mass produced even though there have been some inquiries throughout the years. There are a limited number of them available though and parties interested in a bit of park history should contact me at, penrose@hughes.net. There is another photo of this lamp on an older post.

SILVER STAR RESTAURANT HELENA , MONTANA

This 36 inch light fixture is representative of the fixtures in the project I discuss below in the next entry. These fixtures are great in family and game rooms, even over a breakfast area. Since we did this project we have made photo shades for several other projects, different subject matter and different shapes. We made shades as large as 1 1/2 foot by 10 feet tall for the WALKER GRILL in BILLING'S MONTANA.
