Lighting Finishes
The real alchemy in the making of a Jamb lantern lies in the hand-finishing, a metamorphic process during which the surface is altered from raw brass to Roman bronze, antique verdigris and distressed gilt. In Jamb’s south London workshop, lanterns are hand-finished by the same specialist for up to a week, with the single aim of creating a feeling and atmosphere of accrued patination.
Antique Verdigris
Verdigris, or copper acetate, is a naturally occurring protective layer that forms on metals such as copper, brass and bronze. Used since antiquity for its striking turquoise/grey hue, these days it is perhaps most famously known as the colour of America’s Statue of Liberty.
This finish is suitable for exterior use and offers a metal surface that is at once bright and muted, an apparent contradiction explained by the modern French for verdigris (‘vert-de-gris’) which means green of grey.
Finished by hand in our lighting workshop, this finish imitates the antique copper and bronze.
Brown Bronze
This finish is suitable for exterior use and displays good depth of tone. From the raw brass from which our lanterns are made, this finish, achieved in South London, aims to imitate the bronze colour that sculptors prize.
Verdigris
Finished by hand in our lighting workshop, this copper-effect finish is suitable for exterior use.
Antique Grey
This finish presents a compellingly aged surface. A good choice for most of our collection, this dusky matte finish is lightly speckled and the surface unsealed to imitate dust residue.

Antique Brown Bronze
Our Brown Bronze finish aged to achieve a matte, sleepy antique equivalent, the matte surface in part chalky to imitate a fine dust-residue.
Polished Brass
This resonant brass finish is a good choice for internal lighting, the soft glimmer of the brass handsome in the low light of a dining room or, equally, bold and fresh in a more utilitarian space such as a larder or boot room.
Letchworth
Dark, dramatic browns are displayed through this finish.
Antique Brass
The Antique Brass finish imitates the ageing process of unlacquered brass through darkening the surface delicately, adding character and depth to the metal.
Cadmium Red
A red painted finish, the application uneven so that the surface appears lightly weathered.
Distressed Gilt
Distressed gilt is a typical feature of many of England’s finest houses, be this on the frames of pictures or mirrors, or the legs of a console table. With it’s gently coruscating quality, this finish is effective at picking out the detail on our lights, be this pierced metal work or a meridian of guilloche.
Hyde
This Hyde displays a dark wine/plum colour, while the texture is similar to the Antique Grey finish.
White Painted
Our white painted finish is carefully applied to achieve a textured surface.
Winter Green
A dark antique green, displaying a surface of great depth.
Antique Silver
This tarnished finish of smoky greys and bright silver reflects antique sterling silver, mottled and darkened to create a surface of great character.
Lighting
The globe lantern has become the signature shape of Jamb lighting. They also produce over thirty designs inspired by antique originals which have been added to the collection for their timeless feel and exceptional beauty.

Jamb fireplaces are available in custom sizing and to your specification of marble or stone.
Jamb is fastidious in its study of historical detail leading to the purest of designs. Being in possession of antique chimneypieces has enabled them to create replicas with an unparalleled level of historical accuracy.
All chimneypieces are finished to order. Jamb technicians oil and wax the marble to seal the material, showing the true tone of the marble and giving a muted surface that is not a high polish. They can apply varying levels of aging and distressing to the marble, and samples will be provided in advance to agree the desired patina.
