I had a pair of historic Beacon Hill gas post lamps which were converted to electric long before I purchased my home. The fixtures were aging and beyond repair, but the style was ideal for my home.
As I searched for comparable replacement fixtures, Northeast Lantern came highly recommended from a friend. I took a ride to their facility in Exeter, NH to look at samples of available finishes. I was greeted by a very pleasant and helpful woman who worked up front. She showed me examples of available finishes and introduced me to their Operations Manager, Dustin Almon. Dustin was kind enough to take me for a tour of the facility. I was fascinated by the machinery, number of staff, and detailed processes by which the fixtures are designed, assembled, polished, inspected for quality, and shipped.
I worked with Dustin to design an exact replica of my oversized lamps, which took roughly 10-12 weeks to complete. John Phelan, the Custom Team Lead, communicated their progress regularly and shared pictures of the new fixtures.
I could not be more satisfied with the quality, construction and overall look of the new lamps. The artistry, craftsmanship, commitment to excellence, and exceptional customer service is impressive. We just don't see this anymore! It was great to support a small, local business, and to receive a quality fixture that was truly "Made in the USA"!
Thank you Dustin, John and the entire team at Northeast Lantern for your support and for keeping your artistry alive! The lamps look amazing! read more
