 Hello and
Welcome,
We appreciate that you’ve taken the time to read a bit about
the history of this company. Like you, we believe that before
dealing with a company, we should consider the company’s
background, experience, and sourcing points to judge their
relative quality.
I am the son of an antique dealer, and started business out as an
antique dealer in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1968. I found that sourcing
hardware was difficult, and very frustrating for both my antique
business and restoration projects. Luckily, I became very friendly with
one company in particular, and in 1975, I acquired it by trading off my
antique exporting business to the inheriting son. My years as an
antique dealer gave the experienced touch that helped the business
grow, and have made our products some of the finest on the market.
Our factory preserves and faithfully reproduces antique hardware,
lighting, and architectural pieces from many eras and design motifs
including Georgian, Victorian, Arts and Crafts, Waterfall, Art Nouveau,
Art Deco and Bungalow. We also offer a “made to order” service for
contractors, antique dealers, museums, and homeowners. Our products
have been specially ordered for many movies, and we are an approved
vendor to the White House; having furnished them with Neo-Rococo
fixtures during their rehab project a few years back.
Our showroom is located in the lovely historical and Victorian town of
Port Townsend, WA, and has all functions under one roof. We provide an
expansive showroom with retail sales, and build many of our lighting
fixtures here. While visiting our showroom, be sure to see the Kelly Art Deco Light
Museum. This free exhibit is the only American Art
Deco slip-shade museum in the world today.
Our museum is a rare glimpse of the Great Depression years of 1928 to
1938. This museum feature a unique collection which has been drawn from
over 2000 pieces. The variation of light designs for this time is truly
amazing. No other deco museum has committed the research or the
specialization into American-made Art Deco Lighting as thoroughly as we
have. Some lights in this 30-year-old collection are so rare that no
book has ever documented them.
If you love Victorian towns, please stop by to say hello. In the
meantime, if we can help you and your project along, please give us a
call.
Thank You,
Ken Kelly
