Frequently Asked Questions
 |  |  |
Q: What is the most durable material to buy for decorative outdoor lighting?
A: Copper.
Q: What is the maximum wattage allowable for the lanterns?
A: The maximum bulb wattage for our lanterns is 100 watts.
Q: Which lanterns are for outdoor decorative lighting, and which are for
interior decorative lighting?
A: They are ALL interchangeable! All of our lanterns are built for
indoor/outdoor use...the choice is yours.
Q: Are your lanterns built to last?
A: Our lanterns and weathervanes are built to be handed down from
generation to generation (a rarity in our society today).
Q: Is it okay to have Early American lighting fixtures with a more
contemporary style home?
A: Certainly! Many designers prefer a touch of old fashioned charm to
"warm up" a contemporary home, especially where lighting is concerned.
Q: Why not purchase inexpensive imported colonial-style lighting
fixtures...they still look the same don't they?
A: The answer to this question is: Quality. If you want the highest quality
handmade light fixtures and weather vanes that will actually last, you will
find them made in the United States by American craftsmen. When
looking at the prices, the old adage "You get what you pay for" is very
true.
Q: Are your lanterns electric lanterns or gas lanterns? Can they be
converted?
A: Our lanterns are electric and cannot be converted to gas.
Q: Do you spray on the patina (finish) or paint it on?
A: We paint it on.
Q: What size weathervane (weather vane) should I buy for my house?
A: Weather vane sizing for your building should be roughly 1" per foot: that
is, one inch of weathervane per foot (lengthwise) of your building. That
is merely a general rule of thumb. Contact us if you need sizes you
don't see on our site, and we will make every effort to accommodate you.
Q: Is weathervane one word or two?
A: It is actually two words: weather vane, but most people make it into one
word, which is why we've got it both ways throughout our site.
A: Copper.
