THE ARTISTS
The first step in the production process is, of course, the
design. Products can be made to specific requirements,
or a piece can be handmade to order from the Besselink
and Jones permanent collection. As part of the process,
in-house artists create beautiful illustrations to show
how the desired lamp may look in its intended setting.
Once the client is happy with the piece, the designers
then work through prototypes until the perfect product
is achieved.
THE WORKSHOP
Every Besselink & Jones lamp is hand-crafted in London
and made through traditional methods by a team
of skilled craftsmen. Besselink & Jones specialises
in brass-turning, crafting in bronze, metal plating,
wood-carving, hand- painting and colour-matching.
Whichever technique they are using, there are no short-
cuts in producing well- engineered lighting pieces of the
highest quality.
THE FINAL PRODUCT
From restoration projects to new bespoke designs, from
the cleaning of chandeliers to the conversion of antique
pieces, from classic brass-turned pieces to modern
creations in nickels, chromes or bronzes, from single
lamps to entire complex lighting systems, the Besselink
& Jones workshops have a wealth of experience and
expertise and are proud to continue the tradition of
outstanding British workmanship into the future.
