The 60-year-old company Palmer Hargrave may be a bit old, but they’re not outdated. They are classic. The 69 designs in the Palmer Hargrave inventory are slightly Gothic, vaguely mid-century, perhaps nautical, and just a touch minimalist. By paring styles down to their essence, these light fixtures will resist the ebb and flow of fads, and their well-made design will stand the test of time. In 2000, the company was acquired by DessinFournir Companies, which produces everything from furniture to wallpaper--you can now create an entire interior ensemble from one great company.
