Client demand for "the historic look" has expanded to the point where
interest in gas-burning lighting has reached levels not seen since the
"gas light era" of the 1890s. In this report, the editors have assembled
a variety of companies that supply gas lighting fixtures. Some suppliers
are custom manufacturers only; other firms have standard models ready
for your plumber to hook up. And some suppliers have automatic electronic
ignition systems available as an option.
This Supplier List has been compiled from companies that have appeared
in recent issues of TRADITIONAL BUILDING magazine. (The table here has been
simplified from the published versions to provide speedier down-loading.)
Each issue of
TRADITIONAL BUILDING contains around 10 such reports covering products and
services used in restoration, renovation, and historically styled new
construction.
