Each lantern's parts are cut,
bent, and soldered by a craftsman employing his own unique skills.
Northeast Lantern prides themselves in using original manufacturing
methods with tools and machines that are operated by manpower. When
complete, each craftsman signs off on the fixture he has produced to
reflect his pride, and to take ownership of the quality in the piece
he has produced. Once the fixture has its basic frame, the finishing
department takes every light and adds one of Northeast Lantern's
seven antique finishes. This process can take anywhere from a half
an hour to a couple of hours depending on the desired finish. The
fixtures are then off to the final stage in the process, the wiring
department. Here the fixtures are again hand rubbed to achieve the
antique finish and consistent appearance. The electrical components
are appropriately placed into the fixtures and approved for UL
requirements. Glass is the last item to be added. Each fixture gets
one last quality check before it's off to the shipping department
where it is meticulously packaged and shipped to you. |
