What Being “Made in America” Means to Us

Back when Brass Light Gallery was starting out and making a name for itself, restoring and selling antique and vintage light fixtures, America was experiencing a shift in manufacturing and production. American workers were losing their jobs to foreign countries. Approximately 25 percent of American workers were employed in manufacturing during the 1970s. That number has steadily decreased since. Brass Light Gallery committed to keeping all production of our lighting fixtures in the United States, specifically, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Our commitment to manufacturing the highest quality light fixtures in America led us to develop state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and engineering capabilities. Our team is able to offer turnaround times unheard of in this industry without compromising the quality of our lighting fixtures. That’s because we’ve invested in talented and passionate craftsmen and women who put quality service and quality fixtures first, so you can be proud to have a Brass Light Gallery light fixture in your home.

The benefits of ordering our Made in the USA light fixtures

Handmade by skilled artisans

Throughout his career our founder and president Stephen Kaniewski developed a keen eye for historical and architectural details – a skill he passed on to each lighting designer he hired at Brass Light Gallery. Each of our lighting fixtures, from Traditional to Contemporary, is meticulously handcrafted by our team of skilled artisans to meet your order specifications. Our process can involve more than 40 steps, from cutting solid brass sheets to finally wiring and testing. This ensures the quality of the fixture, its finish, and every detail is perfectly suited for your home or project.

Larger lighting manufacturers mass-produce their lighting fixtures with an emphasis on speed and volume. Our focus is on quality and producing the best possible lighting product. Handcrafting each piece from scratch allows us to modify, enhance, and personalize your lighting fixture for a truly unique light for your home.

American ingenuity and workmanship

For over 40 years, Brass Light Gallery has been highly respected by architects, designers, and customers from across the country. Our passionate team values quality craftsmanship and are driven to discover ways to improve on our production of premium lighting fixtures. Balancing the need to be efficient without sacrificing quality is a continuous challenge but one we welcome because we know that the hard work we put into every project is greatly appreciated by our customers.

Now we’re not ones to rest on our laurels. We developed state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and engineering capabilities so we could offer turnaround times unheard of in this industry. Better yet, we’re continuously improving in order to introduce new lighting designs and expand our diverse lighting collections.

Quality American material

We start each of our interior light fixtures, outdoor lanterns, genuine alabaster lights and sconces with quality materials such as North American brass. Starting with the best, American-sourced materials guarantees we’re able to produce the highest quality light fixtures for every order.

40+ Years of lighting experience

When it comes to creating an exquisite lighting experience for your home or commercial project, it’s essential to employ passionate workers. We’ve been fortunate to discover and hire skilled tradesmen and seasoned sales professionals from the Milwaukee area that share our passion for hard work and delivering unparalleled quality.
