Framburg · Est. 1905
Four Generations of American Lighting Craft
Framburg is a Chicago-area lighting manufacturer, not an importer. Designs are drawn in-house, tooled in-house and finished in-house at our Bellwood, Illinois workshop — the same discipline we have practiced since 1905.
That single-roof model is why architects, interior designers and lighting showrooms specify us for projects where a fixture must match a millwork detail, a historic profile or a bespoke finish sample. We build to the drawing rather than to a container schedule.

Sconces & Vanity
Artisan Wall Lighting

Light as Architecture
Designed for the Room, Not Just the Ceiling
Every Framburg fixture is evaluated for the way it throws light: shade depth, socket position, glass density and finish reflectivity are tuned so the fixture flatters the space it hangs in.

Inside the Workshop
Five Hand Processes Behind Every Fixture
Most decorative lighting arrives pre-assembled from overseas. Ours is made in sequence, by hand, on one floor — which is exactly why finishes can be matched and profiles can be altered.
01
Rolling
Flat brass and steel stock is hand-rolled into arms, canopies and body sections on our own forming equipment.
02
Soldering
Joints are hand-soldered rather than glued or crimped, giving the fixture a rigid, serviceable structure.
03
Buffing
Every surface is hand-buffed before finishing, removing tool marks so the finish reads evenly under light.
04
Finishing
Hand-applied finishes — polished and antique brass tones, bronze, pewter, nickel, matte black — are matched to sample.
05
Assembly & QC
Wiring, sockets, glass and hardware are fitted and inspected in-house, then packed for freight or showroom delivery.

Questions We Hear Most
Buyer & Designer FAQ
Every Framburg fixture is designed and manufactured in the Chicagoland area. Metal is hand-rolled, soldered, buffed, finished and assembled by our own craftspeople at our Bellwood, Illinois facility — which is why we can stand behind both the finish and the structure of what we ship.
Yes. Because we own the tooling and the finishing line, we routinely adjust diameter and height, change arm counts, extend stems and chains, substitute glass and match custom finishes. Send dimensions, a ceiling condition and a finish reference, and our team will advise on feasibility.
We supply our collections through authorized showrooms, lighting dealers and specification partners. Use the Dealer Locator to find a partner near your project, or contact our sales team directly for specification files, finish samples and lead-time guidance.
Fixtures are built from solid brass and steel and paired with hand-finished glass or fabric shades. Our hand-applied finish library spans polished and antique brass tones, bronze, pewter, nickel and matte black, so an entire interior can be specified from one coordinated family.
We work with distributors and specifiers outside the United States on a project basis. Because fixtures are built to order in our own plant, packaging, configuration and documentation can be reviewed with our team before production begins.
