Below are some testimonials from designers who frequently come to New Metal Crafts for their lighting needs.

"New Metal Crafts has a wide variety of beautiful antiques that will fit any decor...from Art Deco to American Empire to very old Baccarat. I especially love the old French gaslights and Victorian coach lanterns. It is wonderful that New Metal Crafts will restore pieces without them losing their value. They are extremely accommodating and will even custom create anything I want, including commercial fixtures that could go into a Disney castle or a hotel lobby! I have never failed at finding that perfect fixture for my clients that fulfills their need for something extraordinary. The only problem is when my clients move to a new or larger home, I can't convince them to buy new lighting fixtures because they always want to take their New Metal Crafts fixtures with them!" - John Cannon, Cannon/Frank Design, Chicago, IL

 

"I have found New Metal Crafts to be an invaluable resource for decorative lighting, whether designing a custom fixture or restoring an antique fixture. A large portion of my architectural practice involves the rehabilitation of older homes, and I trust the craftsmen at NMC to restore these vintage fixture to my exacting standards." - Bud Dietrich, AIA, HFD Architects, Deerfield, IL

 

"I have relied on New Metal Crafts for over twenty years. Whether I am looking for a simple, antique, or one of a kind fixture, I have always found the perfect piece at New Metal Crafts. Their knowledge and service is unsurpassed." - Joan Lavezzorio, ASID, LPC Design, Wilmette, IL

 

"Lighting is perceived in many different ways. Art and sculpture follow the same rule. New Metal Crafts has blended these two elements into some of the most fascinating creations imaginable. As a Certified Kitchen Designer and an Interior Designer, I have found that New Metal Crafts exceeds my most discriminating visions of lighting perfection in all of the homes I design. Thank you for your expertise and professional services!" - David McNulty, CKD, McNulty Design Group, Glencoe, IL and Park Ridge, IL
