Handmade lighting is a new trend in upscale home decor. It can be termed a reaction to machine-made mass-produced contemporary light fixtures which are very good to look at, but lack a soul. A handmade lighting fixture is often the work of a single skilled craftsman or a small team who take days to finish a fixture, right from hand cutting the brass sheets to applying a chosen custom finish to the final product. Colonial brass fixtures are a throwback to the era of whaling and horse-drawn carriages in New England in the 18th and 19th centuries. The modern handmade lights are mostly suitable for exterior installation, but specially made indoor fixtures are now available.  Brass Traditions by Malco offers some of the best handmade colonial revival lighting fixtures in a wide variety of styles and finished.

Post Mounted Options

These work best for illuminating garden pathways and grounds effectively. Handmade post mounts by Brass Traditions can be mounted on wood, metal and fiber posts. Over thirty intricate designs are on offer, made of copper and brass with a variety of custom paint finishes. Of particular interest are the onion light and stable light post mounts.

Wall Mounted Model

These can be used to light up the exterior area of houses, garages and boundary walls without the additional hassle of installing a separate post for mounting a fixture. The wall mounted lights are fully damp rated and can withstand extreme weather conditions with ease. With over 80 products in this niche, Brass Traditions leaves their customer spoilt for choice. Look out for the models with a polished reflector made of glass, which is evocative of the coach lighting of yore which were lit by tallow candles. The light sources are modern though, with incandescent lamps and candelabra bulbs being the main light source.

Hanging Fixtures

Hanging fixtures are suitable for brightening up the entrance area of the home. These pendant options are available in designs evoking onion lights, stable lighting and antique street lighting of Colonial era New England.

Ceiling Mounted Model

These are suitable for exterior areas with low ceilings like patios and entryways, where hanging lights would be a distraction. Brass Traditions offers over twelve models, spread over handmade semi-flush ceiling mounted onion lights, open lights and adapted stable lights. Multi-light models are also available up to three bulbs.

Indoor Fixtures

Indoor fixtures are more delicate and intricate compared to the outdoor fixtures. The Brass Traditions range features hanging lights and pendants, wall mounted lights and flush mounted ceiling lights suitable for indoor installation. The indoor lights are offered in single light and multi-light models. The handcrafted copper and brass fixtures add an earthy tone to the interior decor.
