Ancient Wooden Beam Chandelier

Our wooden beam chandeliers are designed and handcrafted in our Devon Studio. Each hanging light fixture is individual, designed to fit your space and enhance your interior. Our made to measure service ensures your chandelier fits perfectly with minimal adjustments needed.

If you want something thats full of history, shows it age and previous use in its colour and grain, or features original iron work then this chandelier is for you! Typically our ancient beams are over 300 years old, and we will be able to tell you where they have come from, they type of building and previous use. For example, all of the chandeliers in this listing are made using Oak and English Elm from a Mill in the tiny hamlet of Wick, Somerset. The mill building that the beams were reclaimed from was over 700 years old, meaning the saplings for these timbers date back as far as 1301!

Our ancient timbers vary in dimensions, we first design a fixture for your home and show you what we have in stock. We also have suppliers that we can reach out to to find the perfect piece of ancient reclaimed timber.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU PURCHASE THIS ITEM, THE COST IS A DEPOSIT ONLY - THE FULL FIXTURE PRICE WILL DEPEND ON THE SPECIES OF TIMBER, THE LENGTH OF THE BEAM AND NUMBER OF LAMP HOLDERS. BEFORE PURCHASING THIS LISTING, PLEASE DO GET IN TOUCH FOR A QUOTE.

Colour Choices: Cables, Components and Timber finish:

You choose the exact piece of timber that we use for your fixture. We will send you photos and videos for your approval. We can stain the timber and have a range of stains available. If you would like to tone in with current furniture, please send us photos of your home (in daylight with no direct sun) so that we can choose the best match. We will then do colour tests on the top of your chosen timber and send you photographs and video for your approval. You also choose the cable colours - we have over 200 choices of Italian fabric covered cable, and component style and colour - from modern to traditional. We can have metal brackets made to fit by our Blacksmith neighbour, Rex Latham Blacksmith, as seen in the photos.

We finalise all of these choices with you as part of the design process.

Lead time and shipping:

Our lead time varies depending how busy we are, if you have a time constraint, please check our current lead time on our client area page before placing your order. If we have to source the perfect piece of ancient timber for you, this may increase the lead time further.

From the client area you will see how many orders we have in progress and updates on lead times. When we receive your order, you will be added to the client queue, and you will be able to check back and see progress of your order.

Measurements:

We will need some measurements from you to design and make your fixture.

• Ceiling height
• Dimensions of the furniture below the fixture or tell us if it needs to clear head height.

We can then draw a scale plan for you to agree before we begin wiring your fixture.
