Local and Handmade


This beautiful sconce was handmade in Clifton Forge, VA before most of us were born.  It wasn’t commissioned for a resort or mansion as most custom lights are today.  It was made for a simple summer cottage just up the road from where it was forged.

It makes me pause at the internet shopping I do for clients.  Don’t get me wrong!  It’s great to purchase anything from anywhere.  The convenience and price is almost always right.  Just not sure how many of those items people will be writing blogs about 75 years from now.
