Illuminate your home with Fritz Fryer Lighting’s stunning art deco lighting and lights. Discover timeless designs that bring style and charm.
Art Deco lighting is glamour with geometry: stepped shades, opal glass, chrome and brass, the confident lines of the 1920s and 30s. A century on, it still makes a room feel dressed, and it sits as happily in a contemporary interior as in a period one.
Our Art Deco collection is restored and made in our Herefordshire workshop, where we have worked on period lighting since 1982. It runs from genuine restored originals, an antique ceiling light by F&C Osler, a vintage French frilled coolie pendant, to made-to-order pieces across Art Deco ceiling lights, Art Deco chandeliers, Art Deco wall lights and Art Deco sconces, with table lamps like our Ingham Dome for the finishing touch.
Every original is stripped, restored, rewired in line with current standards and safety-tested before sale. If you are furnishing a Deco-era house or just love the look, tell us about your rooms; we will be honest about what we have, what we can make, and what will suit.
Art Deco lighting is the style of the 1920s and 30s: geometric forms, stepped and tiered shades, opal glass, chrome and brass, glamour with discipline. Fritz Fryer restores genuine Art Deco originals and makes Deco-style pieces to order in our Herefordshire workshop.
Some are genuine restored originals, including pieces by makers such as F&C Osler, and we always say clearly which is which. The rest are made to order in our workshop to Deco designs. Every piece, original or new, is rewired and safety-tested in line with current standards before sale.
Yes, remarkably well. Deco’s clean geometry reads as designed rather than dated, so an opal glass pendant or stepped wall light slips into contemporary rooms easily, and adds the glamour minimal rooms often lack. In 1920s and 30s houses it is, of course, the native style.
Dining rooms, hallways and bathrooms are Deco’s natural home, it began as the style of grand hotels and ocean liners, and anywhere you want a sense of occasion. A Deco chandelier in a dining room or a pair of sconces flanking a bathroom mirror are classics for a reason.
Ours are. Every original we sell is stripped, rewired in line with current standards and safety-tested in our Herefordshire workshop before sale. Untested period lights from general dealers should always be professionally rewired before use; ours arrive ready to fit.
Yes. All our Deco fittings, restored originals included, are rewired for modern bulbs and take LEDs. Opal glass and warm-white LEDs are a happy pairing, close to the soft glow the designs were built around, and dimmable versions give you the full cocktail-hour effect.
Genuine restored originals are priced individually by maker, rarity and condition; made-to-order Deco-style pieces are priced comparably with premium retail brands. Either way you are buying proper materials, four decades of restoration experience, and a piece made or remade to last.
Often, yes. We have sourced and restored period lighting for over forty years, and Deco originals pass through the workshop regularly. Tell us the style and size you are after and we will tell you honestly what we have, what is coming, or whether we can make something close.
