Yes.

We manufacture a wide variety of period-authentic, reproduction lighting styles, and all are well-researched historic reproductions. Lighting identified with the Rejuvenation shopmark we build and finish in our Portland, Oregon factory. These fixtures are exclusively ours.

There are many types of antique lighting "originals." Some were handmade works of art - elegant both in design and construction - and found only in the finest homes and mansions. The majority of antique lighting, however, was built for the middle and working classes.

Here's a fact we enjoy: Not only do we supply reproduction lighting to some of the most historic and famous homes and buildings in the country, we also do the same for thousands of humble Bungalows and urban apartments.

These are some of the qualities that make our lighting "real" reproductions of antique lighting originals :

• Traditional Construction. We build our lighting just the way original antique lighting was built - by hand.

• Materials. We build them from the same materials as the originals. Most of our lighting is brass, some models are cast iron, some are porcelain and some are part aluminum (see our Streamline, Atomic Age, and Art Deco styles). Some materials are even better than the originals: Our brass pipe and tubing is actually thicker and heavier than that found in antique lighting.

• No Easy Shortcuts. Original gas lights, for example, couldn't hang on chain (gas can't travel through chain). So we make them with pipes and work with you to get the length just right for your ceiling.

• Original Moulds and Tooling. We often recreate antique lighting parts and glassware with the original, vintage tooling - which helps us produce a superior reproduction of antique lighting originals. A majority of the glass shades we offer are made from original glass moulds we either own or have duplicated from the originals.

• Document Lighting. Many of our lights are "documents" of antique lighting models. That means we've taken an original and exactly duplicated every part. Others are typical of a certain type, but are not "document." For example, the Wilshire is document, but the Jackson Park is not.
