This weeks FRIDAY LIGHTS is dedicated to Charles Edwards, a reproduction-antiques company in London, England. Their designs reflect 19th and 20th century English and French style lanterns. The pieces are authentic and classic.

I love this beautiful flower detailed chandelier and look at the tapered candle sleeves- an exquisite detail that refines the piece.

Another chandelier that caught my eye.

I love the simplicity of this chic hanging lantern.

Remains Lighting has been on my radar since February 2009 when I visiting the Chelsea Harbor showroom (although Remains is a US lighting manufacturer).  Witnessing the quality of the pieces firsthand and the use of ceramic candle sleeves exclusively on each fixture cemented my enthusiasm for the line.

Recently Remains released (say it 3 times- fast) a series of lighting inspired by the late Tony Duquette, the unparalleled theatrical Hollywood interior designer.  I cannot think of any lighting manufacturer today better suited to execute such stunning reproductions.  I also cannot help myself from wanting to add a few kaarskoker details to each piece.

I think I came across Avid Home on twitter. Most of the lighting is from Arteriors and Avid’s pricing is well below many other retailers.   kaarskoker candle covers look fab on most of the fixtures featured on Avid as many kkRETAILERS also offer Arteriors lighting and have replaced the covers with various kaarskoker patterns.
