Why do we love Corston Architectural Detail? Because their products go above and beyond in quality, looks, and style!
Corston Architectural Detail is a lighting firm established in England, with branches in the U.S. and Europe. Corston’s specialty is designing high quality fixtures in timeless styles. Corston’s lights, switches, and hardware are all designed, engineered, and manufactured in-house, allowing them control over the quality and look of every piece.
Quality is Corston’s trademark, and their fixtures are manufactured from materials significantly above industry standards. Nearly all their products are made from solid brass, finished one of three ways: antique brass, a living finish that ages and patinas as you use it; bronze, a deep, rich color that is eye-catching but not shiny; and polished nickel, a warm steely color that works well in a wide range of settings.
Corston is also committed to making life easy for their homeowners. Many commercially available LED light fixtures are built as a single unit, with an LED light chip built into the shell, but, these are difficult to maintain, as replacing the LED requires replacing the entire fixture. Corston’s LED lights are designed to function like regular lights, using replaceable LED bulbs. Their lights bring energy efficiency and ease of use, all in an attractive packaging!
Corston is a champion of recycling and re-cast all the brass clippings from their products for use in future fixtures, an effort that helps them manage waste while providing high-quality products. They also use only recyclable cardboard packaging, specially engineered to offer the best protection for your fixtures!
Whether you love their pendant lights for your dining room, need some antique toggle switches for your library, or even just want some nifty sconces, Corston Architectural Detail provides fixtures and hardware for every location in a quality that can’t be beaten! They even make yard lighting to go around patios or in gardens, so you can throw the spotlight on the best parts of your home, inside and out! Check out their products and more here!
