Pendant Lighting | A Look Back at Vintage Porcelain Lighting Fixtures

I know it’s July and the school bell will remain silent for six more weeks, but there’s no time like the present for a little education.

No groaning please. Education is information, and information is key when you’re investing in lighting. Let’s face it. You can go to your local big-box store and spend $29.99 on a look-alike wall sconce that came from China. But considering it costs roughly $30 and had to be shipped overseas, how much money do you think actually went into the materials? Not much. Which is why most “inexpensive” lights rust almost immediately or fall apart at the first hint of use.
