I am the son of an antique dealer, and started business out as an antique dealer in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1968. I found that sourcing hardware was difficult, and very frustrating for both my antique business and restoration projects. Luckily, I became very friendly with one company in particular, and in 1975, I acquired it by trading off my antique exporting business to the inheriting son. My years as an antique dealer gave the experienced touch that helped the business grow, and have made our products some of the finest on the market. Our factory preserves and faithfully reproduces antique hardware, lighting, and architectural pieces from many eras and design motifs including Georgian, Victorian, Arts and Crafts, Waterfall, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Bungalow. We also offer a “made to order” service for contractors, antique dealers, museums, and homeowners. Our products have been specially ordered for many movies, and we are an approved vendor to the White House; having furnished them with Neo-Rococo fixtures during their rehab project a few years back. Our showroom is located in the lovely historical and Victorian town of Port Townsend, WA, and has all functions under one roof. We provide an expansive showroom with retail sales, and build many of our lighting fixtures here. While visiting our showroom, be sure to see the Kelly Art Deco Light Museum. This free exhibit is the only American Art Deco slip-shade museum in the world today. Our museum is a rare glimpse of the Great Depression years of 1928 to 1938. This museum feature a unique collection which has been drawn from over 2000 pieces. The variation of light designs for this time is truly amazing. No other deco museum has committed the research or the specialization into American-made Art Deco Lighting as thoroughly as we have. Some lights in this 30-year-old collection are so rare that no book has ever documented them.
