help choosing outdoor lighting please

20 years ago

I need to replace the broken sconces that flank my front door. Any suggestions (brands, styles, places to buy) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi Rachel. Lovely home! It looks like you are doing some nice reno work. Have you looked at Renovation Hardware? What does the old fixture look like? Do you want to duplicate the look of the old fixture?

    I haven't found an exact match to the existing fixture -- the link below is close -- but is priced at more than $1000 per fixture, which exceeds my budget. I'm not familiar with renovation hardware (do you mean restoration hardware?) Thanks for your response.

    Check eBay first if you want old. Don't know where you are located but if you have a real lighting store near you, pay a visit and both look at their in store stock along with tons of catalogs. Otherwise, check Hinkley Lighting.com and the Outdoor collection at Rejuvenation.com. Both of those should have lower priced outdoor lighting.

    I would highly recommend Rejuvenation Lighting and Hardware. I just purchased a light similar to the one referenced in your post. The site is great, it walks you through getting to a list of logical choices based on the age of your house, style, etc. The prices seemed fairly reasonable - we paid a little over $200 a light for ones similar to the one referenced. Good luck.

    Kimeryl,

    Which fixture did you order? I have been looking at the Rowena, but am afraid that the glass would get dirty. What do you think?

    We got O'Neils for outside and Bend sconces for our bedroom. The quality is great. I wouldn't think the glass would get any dirtier than other lights, although we didn't get the bright white that I'm assuming you got. Ours has a cream art glass shade and, to tell you the truth, I never even gave a thought to the dirt factor. I'm really excited to get them put up, electrician comes on Monday! Good luck, Kim

    I've been ordering quite a bit from The Bright Spot, linked below. Although they do specialize in Mission/Craftsman lighting they do carry some wonderful sconces that would go nicely with your English Tudor.

    I second the suggestion to check e-bay. There are LOTS of vintage fixtures on there and we just bought some for our 1925 Mediterranean Revival. $120 for the lights, then maybe $50 more for rewiring. Quite the bargain. Just out of curiosity, why the need to replace the fixtures? If they're original, I would consider having them refurbished and then continue to use them.

    They are broken beyond repair. I haven't seen anything on e-bay lately, but I keep checking. Thanks for the suggestions.
