Currey & Company's table and floor lamps come in a variety of materials and styles. Inspirations for these designs often come from the past as familiar shapes and materials are translated into items appropriate for today's consumers. Wrought iron, brass, silver, wood and porcelain as well as a variety of ethnic materials are used to create these designs.
For the most part chandeliers and wall sconces are still crafted of wrought iron in a variety of styles and sizes. Embellished with decorative elements of metal or crystal or unadorned, they are finished in a distinctive manner, reflecting the attention to workmanship and detail that is characteristic of Currey & Company products. The distinctiveness of the hand-finishing process that is used on these lighting products lends an air of depth and richness that cannot be achieved by less time-consuming finishing methods.
Natural materials have always played a significant role in the creation of Currey & Company products and today this is more true than ever. Hand carved wood is used for chandeliers and lamps. Metals such as brass and copper are frequently seen in both chandeliers and lamps. Tables, chests, mirrors and chandeliers become delightful creations embossed lavishly with natural seashells. Garden furniture of concrete takes the form of traditional hand crafted "faux bois" styling as well as traditional English garden benches.
