Welcome to the Dancing Horse Studio

In the past our handmade lamps have mainly available through certain select stores and from interior designers. The internet makes it possible to offer wooden lamps direct to  customers. Some of our lamps will only be available through the net, especially the ecology and larger Classic Mahogany Range Our other lamps include  Oak and Mahogany barley-twists and Painted Lamps.

Those with a taste for old pine can choose from the Country Pine Range, some of them made from re-claimed pine, all of them with a hand polished mellow finish that would look at home with both old and new pine furniture.

For the "Greens" or those wanting the rare, unique , exotic or reclaimed timber pieces try the news page where they are displayed as they are sold very quickly and are constantly being replaced.

Fine period, 17thC, barley-twist lamps, in Oak & Mahogany.We do not use any endangered species of timber in our lamps. Years of experience with restoring antiques has given us the ability to turn other red woods i.e. Sepele, West African Mahogany,  into aged and patinated pieces, at home in any period setting. Beech, Oak, Yew and other species of home grown timber are also available in painted, natural or aged  finish. 

Painted finishes include marbled, gilded, decorative painted i.e. floral, chinoiserie etc. and transfer decorated. It is possible for us to design transfers exclusively for clients i.e. pictures of the Queens head, coats of arms or whatever. We can offer an Group of Pine lamps, with hand waxed mellow finish, some in reclaimed woodexclusive design service, for larger retailers or the contract interior designer. 

Large alter type candle sticks, standard lamps, clocks, chalices, large bowls, curtain sets i.e. poles, finials, pulls and other decorative items can be supplied in a full range of finishes. Once the lamp is finished it is then wire  and tested to comply with the relevant regulation of the UK,  EEC or USA
