The “Broche” pendant, available in an Antique Gold or Antique Silver finish, features a leaf-like bouquet in wrought iron suspended by a decorative chain-link.  This restoration vintage fixture is also available in a mixed-metal combination for the epitome of high-style.

“Middlefield,” a rustic and chic restoration vintage masterpiece, presents a historic feel in Solid Distressed wood and steel with an Iron Rust finish.  The pear-shaped finial,  superbly crafted and detailed, adds to the elegance and stature of this outstanding over five-foot tall chandelier.

The “Livingston” pendant from Murray Feiss presents restoration vintage style with a modern twist.  Finished in a choice of High-Gloss Gray or High-Gloss White, the caged rounded dome delivers a soothing illumination through the dual Clear glass surrounded by a Sandblast outer layer of glass.

“Reel” from Varaluz Lighting is reminiscent of the vintage movie reel. This spherical composition delivers a modest charm and sophistication in a rich Rustic Bronze finish fashionably illuminated by three decorative slender vintage light sources.

“121 Main” from Troy Lighting provides a brilliant display of illumination in a creative and surprising mix of whimsy and elegance.  Hand-worked wrought iron supporting a cascade of pressed glass beer bottles delivers the dazzle of a formal crystal chandelier, while the Old Silver accented with Brass finish, signature “wrecking ball” center and dangling bottle opener elevate this restoration vintage style with an original and playful vigor.

The Dallas Market

If you’re like me, you have a favorable reaction to yachts, perhaps without ever having stepped foot on one. I have absolutely no idea how I will one day acquire a yacht. All I know is that yachts and I are destined to be together some way, somehow. This amorous examination of yacht lighting exists, yes, because there are interesting things to note about yacht lighting design, but, if I’m totally honest, we’re in the dog days of summer; I’m landlocked; and I want to stare at yachts. Do you want to stare at yachts, too? Let’s stare at yachts in all their luminous glory.

1. In A Word, Yes. 

I am sucker for underwater lights. In pools, in little water features and ponds, they just make me smile. But beaming into a foreign sea from the hull of a yacht? I am slain (in a good way). Of course, that’s not the only amazing thing about the yacht lighting situation above. While the lights are illuminating the sea on either side of our vessel, whaddaya say we project the sea life around us onto this huge sail? OK, great!

I mean, seriously?! Are you seriously watching the sea life around your yacht as it’s projected onto a giant screen in the middle of the beautiful sea with starlight and moonlight above you and light beams shooting out of either side of your vessel? Yes? Well OK, then. I guess I would, too, if I were you.

2. Outdoor Recessed Lights

What an amazing night time mood these recessed lights lend this yacht. I love the way the fixtures form scallops of light along the side of the cabin, especially because the reflective surface of the yacht amplifies the light levels. Very nice via Charter World

And it also says, Come hither thou and hangeth out on me. Basically, these lighting designers have gotten it right. What looks better against the soft night sky than lights with a via Charter World

Those recessed light fixtures with single and multiple lamps are a great choice for this yacht living room/control center/spaceship dashboard. The top level is evenly lit, and the lower level, with its crisp light, invites the eye and the whole body, actually. Take me to Greenland, Captain! If you need me, I will be luxuriating.
