Authentic Designs

At Authentic Designs each of their Early American lighting fixtures is built on a per order basis in their rural Vermont workshop. All chandeliers, sconces, lanterns and lamps are fabricated in the finest materials including brass, copper, terne metal and American hardwoods. Most fixtures are available either electrified or for candle in a wide variety of finishes and everything is UL approved. Visit their website or better yet stop by and see them at work in their converted mills nestled in the hills of southern Vermont.
