The goal of historic restoration is, of course, to create products that look like the original. In many cases, the original methods of production are a vital part of the design. However, making something that is the same size, shape, and material is only part of the process; additional requirements like making the new fixtures conform to modern building codes and fit within budget limitations are also part of the challenge. With over 40+ years of experience manufacturing hand-made light fixtures, we at S.H. Studios are confident we’ll be able to handle these difficult requirements with ease.
