ORDERING

Our sales are to the trade. Order through your interior designer or architect. If you do not have a designer or architect, please call us. We will be glad to help.

In the Washington DC area, including Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, we are represented by the Rist Showroom (202-646-1540) in the Washington Design Center, 300 D St SW, Washington, DC.

1.     SCONCES - When considering our interior sconces, measure the electrical box where you intend to place them. Many of our sconces were designed when the standard electrical box for sconces was 4” x 2 1/2” mounted vertically. Life is not so simple anymore, and if the sconce doesn’t cover the electrical box, we can supply you with a thin metal cover plate that can be painted to match the wall.

2.     HANGING FIXTURES – See below.

 

HANGING CHANDELIERS AND LANTERNS

O.A.H. means over all height, which is the distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the fixture.

As most of our fixtures hang from fixed stems, O.A.H. needs to be provided before delivery.

For fixed stem hung fixtures we also need to know if there is a cathedral ceiling, and if so the approximate slope of the ceiling.

Chandeliers over a table should be 30” to 34” above the table top. This can be moved up when hanging from very high ceilings.

Hanging fixtures requiring head room should be no lower than 6’ 6” above the floor. Note: if there are oversized doors that might swing into the fixture.

Deep Landing Workshop supplies the hardware, including canopy and crossbar, required to mount to a standard electrical box.

Our “wireless” hook requires a rigid suspension rod. If it’s exposed to wind, there will be work hardening and ultimately it will fail.

 

GLASS

STANDARD GLASS
We use restoration glass as standard. It is hand made. Sometimes it will be a European import and sometimes it is made in West Virginia by Blenko.
Being hand made, its characteristics will vary, from subtle imperfections to a more pronounced waviness. There are some bubbles, but not nearly as many as in a manufactured seedy glass.


SHIPPING

ALL SHIPPING IS FOB CHESTERTOWN MARYLAND

PACKING CHARGE
There is a 2% of list price packing charge for shipments via UPS or Fed Ex. We will reduce this at our discretion for large orders of the same fixture.

UPS OR FED EX GROUND
If a chandelier’s arm spread is less than 30”, with a few exceptions, it will ship UPS. Otherwise it must go freight. Shipping charges vary and will be quoted with an order confirmation.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
There will be a 6% of list price packaging charge to box a fixture on a pallet. Crating charges for overseas shipments are 10% of list. We ship freight prepaid and invoice the charges.

SHIPPING GLASS FIXTURES
Due to the shippers propensity for breaking our hand made glass, we are shipping the glass for our larger lanterns uninstalled in the lanterns.

BLANKET DELIVERY
We will deliver within 300 miles. Prices will vary depending on the size of the fixture(s).
