Services
We take great care in the preparation and finish of our wrought iron products and light fixtures. All welds are ground smooth, cracks are filled and slag removed. We use very strong paint as a base coat and hand apply each premium finish to achieve an authentic aged and elegant look. Any brass parts we use are sandblasted before the paint is applied to ensure a good paint bond.
These products are fabricated using heavy Marine Brass base metal with 90% zinc content. Special preparation seals all cracks and grinds all welds. Fading finish color, glass breakage and improper use is not covered in his warranty. Defective products will be replaced, or repaired within normal production time periods.
What height should fixtures hang in rooms where fixtures hang over tables, counters, or kitchen islands?. Each product is measured from the very widest part x the very highest part. All measurement list the width first and the height second. Because our products are handmade the measurements will vary slightly from the listed sizes.
These are all of the products represented in our catalog and web site in their original unchanged form. We will "customize" these products with our standard choices for finish, glass, and mountingconfiguration. Standard products may be returned with studio permission. A 25% restock fee will apply and storecredit will be issued for the return.
When choosing outdoor lighting it is not always necessary to have the same style throughout although that is okay too. Choosing two different compatible styles can be interesting. Each side of the building could have the same style fixture although in different sizes: ie. The size of each fixture is dependent on the area of installation.

We worked with Steve Handelman in Santa Barbara to create a lighting fixture for our Vermont home. He looked at our plans for a new living room addition we were building and created a spectacular chandelier; one that is sculptural in nature as well as a unique art piece for the room while illuminating the room perfectly. The fixture is approximately 5 foot by 8 foot hanging from the ceiling between rafters. Steve took a vision we had, enhanced it, built it beautifully and delivered on time 3000 miles away in perfect condition with excellent quality. We couldn't be a happier. Steve is both an artist

We ordered several fixtures from Steve after close personal consultation with him. The fixtures are GORGEOUS and exactly as promised, and they came impressively fast, with close contact and communication through the process every step of the way. Steve really knows his stuff and designs to your exact dreams and expectations. He pays impeccable attention to detail and is experienced in designing for a variety of styles. We were so thrilled with our first order that we've just ordered several more customized fixtures from him. Best part is: Though his fixtures and finishes are as good as it gets

We commissioned Steven Handelman Studios to create light fixtures for our 1920's Spanish Revival Restoration. The project extended over three years with multiple phases. Steve and his staff were amazing to work with. Items were designed, created and shipped all on time. The workmanship on the light fixtures is second to none. Every detail is thought through. I highly recommend their studio and plan to use them every chance I can.

I purchased 4 gate lights and 1 mailbox paid over $ 3000.00. The appearance is good the workmanship and quality is not. The mailbox door wouldn't close and leaked when it rained soaking my mail they wanted to saw the post and weld another mailbox in its place I refused so they had to replace the whole thing. The powder coat on the gate lights started to rust within a couple years so I had to remove them and have them powder coated again. The design on the light casing leaked rain and there was no drain hole, I took the light casings to a local designer they laughed when they saw the quality of

This is the place to go for high end design, lifetime durability, at a reasonable investment. Steve personally guided the design of a custom firescreen and spent a lot of time asking questions to ensure we went in the right direction. I'm delighted with the final product and expect it to stay with my family for generations.
