timeless Coach House style is the undisputed standard-bearer
of copper lighting throughout the US.
This traditional lantern certainly enhances a variety of
architectural applications. From Maine to New Orleans and
Seattle to South Beach, the clean lines and classic style
will compliment the design of any home.
Also known as a Charleston Lantern in Charleston, a French Quarter
Lantern in New Orleans and a Coachman Lantern in San Francisco.

go wrong with this style. |

| Avignon |
 |
The Avignon, appears
almost Belgium-like in style, but is actually more popular in
Montpellier and Marseilles. This is our most formal four-sided
fixture. The Avignon is a perfect adornment for an entranceway.
An Avignon entranceway could be complimented by suspending an
Avignon with a yoke bracket in a port a chere and placement
of a few wall mount fixtures by the pool.
Please remember, if selecting a fixture style you are comfortable
with becomes a little confusing, you can always call on one
of our ASID Certified Experts to help you select the appropriate
fixture and scale to best compliment your home or project. |

| Kent |
 |
This genuinely refined
lantern boast a “Church” “or “London
Top” finial perched above the classic six-sided body.
This combination is perfect for applications desiring a more
formal appearance such as Italinate, Georgian and Victorian
architectural styles.
For example, two Kents flanking a front door or a single Kent
suspended from a yoke with complimentary Coach House fixtures
featured in supporting areas would enhance any application. |

| Grande Dame |
 |
The Grande Dame, The
London Street Light
This is Primal’s homage to what most aficionados consider
to be the most striking gas light ever designed. Primal’s
eight-sided cast version exemplifies the character of a true
London Street light with its unmistakable regal crown, saluting
corners and glorious roof.
This style may be a bit too formal for the most casual applications.
But a couple of London Streets straddling the
front door and on a post or column lined entrance will serve
to formalize a routine driveway to a regal entranceway fit for
a king or queen. |

| Vieux Carré |
 |
Vieux Carré [view-ka-ray]
The Vieux Carré or French Quarter lantern is distinctively
New Orleans. Even today, the French Quarter is the
heart and soul of modern New Orleans and serves as a continuous
reminder of the city’s colonial past.
The unique Vieux Carré finial (top) adds both strength
and substance to an otherwise standard body. This finial
was popular in a time when quality was king and can take a master
craftsman the better part of a day to make.
Applications include Acadian, Country French, Plantation, Colonial
and Georgian architectural styles. |

|
| Jefferson |
 |
The Jefferson boasts
a classic Colonial type roof but features a four-sided body
suspended by a wall mounted basket bracket. The ultimate effect
is clean and traditional.
Four-sided lanterns emit a rounded aura of light versus more
of a bow tie effect for wall mounted lanterns.
If the flame of a gas light appeals to you more than the fixture
design, this pure and straightforward style should
be your choice.
The Jefferson perfectly pairs with the Colonial and Coach House
styles. |
| |
|
| Orleans |
 |
The Orleans fixture originally
named for the city Orleans in France has become more a symbol
of post-Katrina New Orleans. Since Katrina, New Orleans has
wholeheartedly embraced the Fleur-de-Lis as a symbol of faith
and hope to an almost religious degree.
The actual English translation of "fleur-de-lis" is
"flower of the lily." This symbol, depicting a stylized
lily or lotus flower, has many meanings. Traditionally, it has
been used to represent French royalty and in that sense it is
said to signify perfection, light and life.
Certainly a light unto its own, this eye-catching piece is compatible
with more ornate architectural styles and widely appreciated
in the Southern States. |
| |
|
| Calais |
 |
Pre-war Calais was one
of the most ornate, colorful and grand cities in all of France.
Similarly, our Calais fixture boasts a grand and bold style.
Agreeably a little too bold for some applications, the Calais
is absolutely right on target for Beaux Arts, Queen Anne or
Neoclassical styles.
For any homeowner who considers their home their castle or perhaps
considers themselves a renaissance man or woman this is your
style.
Feeling a little too good today? Choose the Calais and tell
the world. |

|
| Westminster |
 |
The Westminster is modeled
after the multi-faceted architecture that dominates Westminster
Abby and the architecture of the surrounding locale.
Our Westminster fixture is the embodiment of understated elegance.
The Westminster can replace the Coach House in applications
craving a touch of elegance.
The hexagonal shaped Westminster specifically compliments Queen
Anne and like architectural styles. |
| |
|
| Sussex |
 |
The
Sussex is one of our most popular fixtures. The rounded fluted
top finial paired with the hexagonal body creates a fixture
of exceptional strength and character.
This fixture's hearty character becomes interestingly more refined
when accompanied by the gentle curves of a mustache or scroll
bracket.
More formal in appearance and design, the Sussex is the best
accompaniment to Italianate, Georgian and Victorian architectural
styles. |
| |
|
| Clermont |
 |
This is a truly a master
craftsman’s lantern. Imagine etching then hand- cutting
the intricate Fleur-de-Lis, hand-cutting the detailed fluted
top, then hand riveting the one hundred twenty eight solid copper
rivets to make this a fixture constructed to last a lifetime.
An unintended benefit of the intricate design is how a flickering
flame makes the Fleur-de-Lis dance on adjacent surfaces. From
dusk to dawn this is one of our most attractive lanterns.
The Clermont is especially attractive when paired with the graceful
gooseneck, a combination that will add a sense of grandeur to
any home. |
| |
|
| Dijon |
 |
The Dijon was named for
the City in France that adapted the London Street light finial
to their local four-sided
lantern body style preference.
The Dijon’s character centers around its “London
Top” finial which is actually aped and named after one
of the first and still most popular gas light styles, the London
Street Light. Our version of the London Street Light is offered
elsewhere in this catalog.
The delicate bell finial tends to make this and almost any fixture
more elegant and formal. Applications include Mediterranean,
Country French, Traditional and Georgian architectural styles. |
| |
|
| Toulon |
 |
Majestic, elegant, radiant,
exquisite and graceful barely do justice in describing the Toulon.
Named for one of the most interesting 19th and 20th century
French cities, the Toulon successfully combines the distinctive
French Fleur-de-Lis with the decidedly English “Church”
or “London Top.”
Whether wall mounted, suspended by yoke or post mounted this
fixture will surely be the crowning touch to many Neoclassical,
Victorian, Renaissance and Italianate architectural styles. |
| |
|
| Colonial |
 |
This classic colonial
lantern, also known as a Williamsburg Lantern, is one of the
most popular styles throughout the US.
Historically influenced in style and appearance, the Colonial
lantern is used in more traditional architectural applications.
When viewing Georgian and Federal style homes, one can picture
this timeless piece gracing lovely entryways and exteriors.
Our version of the Colonial features a boxed back plate which
not only facilitates standard installation but also serves an
virtually indistinguishable igniter housing. |
| |
|
| Windsor |
 |
Finally, one of our most
beautiful, classic and well proportioned designs. This fixture
takes off where the Kent ends, by completing the exquisite styling
with the addition of a “London Bottom” finial.
A pair of these lanterns suspended from a full scroll "or
Rodin" bracket is perhaps the most sophisticated and appealing
option for anyone desiring to create a truly stunning front
entrance.
If your application features a large transom, perhaps a Windsor
suspended from a yoke positioned just outside the transom would
provide enjoyment from outside and indoors alike. |
