About Us
Welcome
to Nostalgia Lighting. I'm Nick Harding,
President and Owner of Nostalgia Lighting and
Decorum Hardware. I
started over 25 years ago in the marine and
architectural salvage business having been drawn
to the strength, utility and beauty found in
pieces from another, simpler time. These
origins and the knowledge gained are what has
driven us to reproduce those elusive qualities
found in the period styles of yesterday for your
home, cottage, cabin, lodge, or timber frame, even
your business or restaurant. Nostalgia Lighting
interior lighting fixtures are custom-made and handcrafted
to your exacting needs. We've learned there
is nothing more valuable than a personal
person-to-person approach coupled with custom work
to satisfy even the most discerning clients.
This way each fixture is custom fit to your needs.
As I like to say, "choice not chance". As of the Fall of '07,
we've taken on a new line of exterior lighting
options from a New Hampshire company that creates
a whole host of quality, handmade exterior
lanterns (wall mounted, hanging, or post mounted). You'll
find them in our shared shopping cart in the Decorum
Hardware web site along with our
own custom fixtures.
For
our custom interior lighting fixtures, begin
by browsing through our basic light fixture
designs in the Interior Lighting section. Make your selections, then contact
us with your order request. We'll confirm
your order, talk to you about your options and
choices, and help you with any technicalities that
may be involved with each style of lighting
fixture. We prefer to work with you
person-to-person so that you get the exact fixture
that fits your room. Each light becomes a
one of a kind. No more searching.
When you call or visit, you'll speak with Burr Chase, my
Master Lighting Designer and Builder (aka the
"Lightsmith"). Burr
will answer all of your questions, work with you
to design your exact lighting requirements, then
he will take your information into his shop to
build your lights with detailed attention to
quality and proportion. Send e-mail, call, or
visit us in person. An extensive array of example
lighting fixtures are displayed in the showrooms
of our brother-company, Decorum
Hardware at 231 Commercial
Street in Portland, Maine.
I hope you will find our services unique.
Don't hesitate to ask if we can modify a fixture a
certain way, a special length, or a certain angle.
Burr likes challenges. Different is the norm
for us.
Again, welcome to Nostalgia Lighting, and do visit
my specialty hardware store, Decorum

for all of your upscale kitchen, bath, door, and
cabinet hardware
needs. Or, if you are from away, go to www.decorumhardware.com

Nick
Harding, President
