Charles Edwards Antiques- Lamps and Lanterns - King's Road London, you'll have to order these from the UK, but Charles Edwards has handsome lighting fixtures of all types. The hanging lantern line includes plain, simple and elegant hanging lanterns as well as fanciful designs like the pagoda styles and pineapple lanterns. The exterior lighting fixtures include several gatepost styles like the Cut Down French Gatepost Lantern which is available in two finishes. Charles Edwards also makes something I have never seen offered in the States, pillar lanterns with curved back plates for mounting on columns and curved posts. When Charles Edwards was starting out as a antiques dealer, he had the good sense to record details of some of the stylish antique lanterns and sconces that passed through his shop. Since 1993, the London dealer has been making reproductions of 19th- and 20th-century English and French lighting. For example, Edwards now offers a pair of Art Déco sconces that he sold to an American decorator, in his collection of close to 60 reproduction wall sconces, lanterns, ceiling lights and table lamps. The Blake, a hanging brass lantern which can be ordered in frosted glass or with a very finely woven nickel mesh, is particularly popular, notes Edwards, who himself is fond of the cast-bronze Pagoda Bell . "It has tremendous style and is a perfect example of the English Regency period. It reminds me of Brighton Pavilion, which was the prince regent's folly, his fun palace away from London. There are many details at Brighton that only the rich could afford—such as cast-iron bamboo banister rails—and the design of this light, with the little bells hanging from the brackets, speaks of the whimsy during that period."

Using highest possible quality materials, no other manufacturer has made the commitment to incorporating expensive non-ferrous materials into an affordable landscape lighting fixture line.
