Currey and Company Frequently Asked Questions

What about a canopy (ceiling plate) for a Currey & Company chandelier?
All Currey & Company chandeliers come with a canopy and chain that is finished to match the chandelier.

Can I get extra chain for a Currey & Company chandelier?
Extra chain is available for chandeliers and comes packaged in 3' or 8' lengths. These lengths match the standard length of the chain provided with the chandelier.

How do I know the correct size of a chandelier for a dining table?
A general guideline is to choose a chandelier that has a diameter equal to one-half the width of the table. The general appearance of the chandelier must be taken into account, too; that is, if it is a light airy piece it may be slightly larger than the standard.

How low should a chandelier be hung over a dining table?
Generally there should be 30" between the bottom of the chandelier and the top of the table in a room with an 8' ceiling. If the ceiling is higher, the distance between the bottom of the fixture and the table should increase slightly. Remember that the chandelier should provide light for the table, but not be so low as to block anyone's line of vision when they are sitting at the table.

What guidelines should I follow in choosing a chandelier for a foyer or other room?
Add the room dimensions together. If the room is 14' by 16', add 14 + 16. The answer is 30, which means that your chandelier should be approximately 30" in diameter. Again, remember that other factors such as the height of the ceiling may influence the proper size.

Can I hard wire a Currey & Company wall sconce?
Yes, you may! Each of our sconces is shipped with a 40" cord cover and an 8' lamp cord. This makes it possible to use in a situation where you can't or don't want to wire it into a wall. However, this cord and cord cover are detachable so that the sconce may be converted to a hard-wired fixture.

How high should I hang a wall sconce?
Generally, sconces should be placed on a wall 60" from the floor.

Learn More About Currey & Company

Our Vision: To create and fulfill the desire for distinctive home furnishings.

Our Mission: To serve our customers, owners and employees in an exemplary manner through a culture which encourages all to flourish.

What We Do: Currey & Company creates chandeliers, lamps, wall sconces, accent furniture and garden accessories. Our original designs incorporate an understanding of historic design with an abundance of imagination. A Currey & Company product speaks of the touch of human hands as well as of the design skills and craftsmanship that have created it. 

A Little Bit of History: In the 1980's Robert Currey sold his chain of contemporary furniture stores and began working on concepts and products for the garden as well as for the home. Inspired by his own garden-oriented retail stores and their need for interesting merchandise, he incorporated his already prospering product development and marketing business in 1988.

This company, Garden Source, which focused on historic garden furnishings, became today's Currey & Company. The product line changed and evolved over the years including classic wrought iron and cast aluminum furniture, whimsical Americana, a plethora of birdhouses, rustic willow and hickory furniture, amusing gardening accessories, and, increasingly, lighting products. 

Lamps and chandeliers were first created from wrought iron; gradually the line was expanded to include other materials, but the products always incorporated an understanding of historic design and a lot of imagination. By the mid-1990's lighting had become a most important part of the business although garden accessories and occasional furniture remain in the collection. 

Currey & Company's table and floor lamps come in a variety of materials and styles. Inspirations for these designs often come from the past as familiar shapes and materials are translated into items appropriate for today's consumers. Wrought iron, brass, silver, wood and porcelain as well as a variety of ethnic materials are used to create these designs. 

For the most part chandeliers and wall sconces are still crafted of wrought iron in a variety of styles and sizes. Embellished with decorative elements of metal or crystal or unadorned, they are finished in a distinctive manner, reflecting the attention to workmanship and detail that is characteristic of Currey & Company products. The distinctiveness of the hand-finishing process that is used on these lighting products lends an air of depth and richness that cannot be achieved by less time-consuming finishing methods.

Natural materials have always played a significant role in the creation of Currey & Company products and today this is more true than ever. Hand carved wood is used for chandeliers and lamps. Metals such as brass and copper are frequently seen in both chandeliers and lamps. Tables, chests, mirrors and chandeliers become delightful creations embossed lavishly with natural seashells. Garden furniture of concrete takes the form of traditional hand crafted "faux bois" styling as well as traditional English garden benches. 

All of Currey & Company's lighting products are designed and engineered to meet the rigid safety standards established by UNDERWRITER'S LABORATORY and bear the UL/CUI label (E141302 or E163523). This safety certification is valid in the United States and Canada. Currey & Company lighting products can also be manufactured to meet the standards of the European Union. 

Today Brownlee Currey plays a most active role in the management of Currey & Company as Chief Operating Officer. Robert Currey still plays a role as the guiding "spirit" of the company. The "Company" now includes a plant in the Philippines and a multi-cultural work force in Atlanta that creates, assembles, finishes, packs and ships product; a dedicated management team; and an office force that works hard to tend to details of accounting, order processing and customer service. A sales force that represents Currey & Company covers the United States.
