Chase Adjustable Pendant

 

This magnificent pendant was pictured in the March issue's 'Canadian House and Home of the Month' article.   Shown over a dining room table, it was a fabulous design element in a very elegant and sophisticated looking space.

This fixture is part of a brand new family of products made by Robert Abbey, a manufacturer of innovative designs that shares our belief that quality lighting a good value go hand in hand.  The Chase family includes a number of fixtures, a wall sconce, a table lamp and two styles of floor lamps.  Each share the soft, pleated silk shade set within an architectural metal frame that is available in either an oxidized bronze finish or a burnished brass.

Paris Inspirations

The design of this fabulous fixture was inspired by the artisans in Paris.  Also known as the 'burning bush', this fixture is styled from fine wrought iron and has crystals woven into the tips of every 'branch' of this fixture to create an art form.  It just so happens that this piece of art also functions as a light fixture!

Erin Feasby, Canadian House & Home's designer, used this fixture over the dining room table in a client's home that was featured in the March, 2004 issue.  And while lots was done in that renovation, the client says that she gets more compliments from her friends on this fixture than everything else in her home!  Looks like we found a real winner.

Hurricane Lantern

Our now famous Hurricane lanterns have been featured in a number of issues.  They are a true replica of the original, 19th Century Georgian-style lantern that used to be used with candles. The glass urn is hand-blown glass by skilled artisans, creating each piece individually and by hand.  We carry three different glass styles (diamond cut glass - shown; clear glass; star-cut pattern) and there are three sizes for each.

Schoolhouse Retro

What's old is new again! The look of a school house globe fixture is such a classic and at the incredible price of our family of these products, they are a popular pick with the Canadian House and Home value hunters!

Our Schoolhouse product family includes a range of over a half dozen different products.  Shown here are the most popular units - a fixture on an adjustable height solid rod and the matching, fixed length semi-flush version.  Both use up to a 150 watt light bulb and the white glass diffuses the light to provide a wonderful overall bright soft illumination to any room.  These fixtures are also ideally suited to use with the new energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs that screw into standard sockets.
