WHY BUY QUOIZEL?

Founded in 1930 in New York, Quoizel began as a small business with a limited product line. Today, Quoizel’s corporate headquarters is in Charleston, SC, is a state-of-the-art, 500,000-square-foot facility. Quoizel remains a privately held, family-owned and operated business offering more than 2,000 items in its full-line catalog. Quoizel's extraordinary success is a story that resonates beyond the lighting industry. Quoizel has been featured in stories by Fortune Magazine, Business Week, Cable News Network and CNN's Financial Network.

Quoizel’s unique approach to Tiffany is fueled by their focus on stained glass as a material to be applied beyond table lamps to every product category: fixtures, task lighting, decorative, vases, accessories. Tiffany glass inserts have become a key component in Quoizel’s growing furniture line. One way in which Quoizel has given Tiffany style lamps a more innovative touch is by using trendy glass designs and color combinations in the shades. Another way in which Quoizel has brought Tiffanys into a new realm is by using innovative materials such as jade, agate stone and mica – all still soldered or leaded together in traditional art glass fashion. These materials certainly stretch the purist’s definition of art glass, but the results are breathtaking. Also, by using atypical materials in the bases, such as ceramic, iron and even resin – and forming them into exciting new shapes – the final product can be made more affordable and fashioned into a look that’s anything but traditional.

Quoizel’s line combines the very best that Lenox has to offer in the quality and appearance of fine china with Quoizel’s unique ability to create designs that appeal to a broad market. Each piece is created from hand-polished cast brass, shades made of the finest European fabrics, and luminous china crafted by skilled Lenox artisans. The combination of fine china, the classic Lenox patterns and exceptional brass castings offered a world of elegant possibilities.

The results of that effort are apparent throughout the collection.

• The china is crafted to surpass the highest quality standards in the industry. Regardless of the size of the porcelain accent -- from the largest table lamps to the smallest wall sconce -- the material is worthy of the Lenox name.
• Bases are hand-polished cast brass, lacquered for optimal luster.
• The Burnished Brass finish and the Pewter finish were developed specifically to not only match Lenox china but also to accentuate the design style of each piece.
• Every porcelain finial was designed and crafted exclusively to match the table lamp that it crowns.
• The pull-chains include a cast-brass extender, stamped with the Quoizel name, that sets the porcelain tassel at just the right height. It is a sophisticated touch that emphasizes the stylish power of fine china.
• Switches and sockets are heavy cast brass and engineered to the highest standards.

Of course, lighting products of such charm and sophistication demand shades of equal distinction. The Lenox Lighting line is graced by shades of the finest silk perfectly shaped and proportioned to maximize the lighting effect and function in a highly fashionable style.
