New glass shades and fixtures cast in old moulds made by a great company in Portland Oregon.
Check them out here.
Here is their story:
“Between 1900 and 1950 schoolhouse-style shades and light fixtures were widely used in private residences and institutional settings, including schools, galleries and libraries. Originally produced in hundreds of designs and sizes, these shades and fixtures were a popular choice of architects and homeowners alike. But by the 1960s only a handful of designs remained in production.
A few years ago, I discovered a collection of original cast-iron moulds in an upstate New York warehouse, all but forgotten for more than a half century. Once covered with layers of rust and dirt, these moulds have been restored and returned to production. This collection represents some of the best examples of true American lighting design and is the inspiration behind Schoolhouse Electric Co.”
