Hubbardton Forge: Classic Design, Modern Technology

Hubbardton Forge Chandelier

Prior to the industrial revolution, the village blacksmith was as much a fixture in every town as the village baker. However, industrialization has greatly reduced the demand for blacksmiths and with it, the quality of wrought iron or steel products. It is now hard to find the impressive quality and fine craftsmanship of metal light fixtures and similar items. However, in the past thirty years, one company, Hubbardton Forge, has revived the art of the blacksmith as they create hand-forged, American-made lighting and accessories with unparalleled beauty and workmanship.

Hubbardton Forge uses the traditional hand tools of the trade, such as hammers and chisels, to carefully forge and sculpt their pendant lights, ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and wall fixtures. A decorative metal leaf delicately embraces a semi-flush pendant in one of their timeless luminary classics, demonstrating the care and detail paid to each light fixture. While Hubbardton Forge takes prides in their loyalty to the craft, they also utilize the most sophisticated and advanced technologies for finishing their products. This combination of traditional craftsmanship with modern technology enables them to produce luminaries in an efficient and environmentally sound manner.

One can find timeless classic designs among the light fixtures of Hubbardton Forge. Their wall and ceiling fixtures are heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau style which utilizes flowing curves and simple designs. They make elegant sconces which cast a warm soft light in bedrooms and living rooms and brighten corridors and entryways. One can also detect influences from the Middle Ages in many of their dramatic chandeliers which transforms the dining room of any standard home to that of a fairytale castle.

Hubbardton Forge doesn’t limit themselves to interior light fixtures. Among their products are outdoor post lights, sconces, and light boxes. Due to their durability, these hand-forged fixtures make excellent outdoor luminaries. These outdoor lights welcome visitors to the home, illuminate the path, and guard against strangers at night.

It is unique opportunity to find a company that combines an elegant design, high-quality craftsmanship, and modern technology into their lighting. Their dedication to excellence and emphasis on customer satisfaction make Hubbardton Forge a unique manufacturer of lighting fixtures and accessories. At On Track Lighting, we take great pride in offering their collection at affordable prices.
