Remains Lighting Company offers regal sophistication for your home with French Empire lighting, a style synonymous with grandeur and elegance. Our collection features antique and made-to-order Empire-style chandeliers, sconces, and pendants that reflect the opulence of 19th-century French design.

What is Empire and French Empire Lighting?

Empire lighting emerged during the early 19th century under the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. This style draws inspiration from classical motifs and Roman imperial grandeur, often featuring gilded bronze, crystal accents, and intricate details like laurel wreaths, eagles, and lion masks.

French Empire lighting, a more refined version of the Empire style, adds Parisian elegance with symmetrical designs and luxurious materials. The result is lighting that commands attention and elevates any room with timeless sophistication.

Whether you're restoring a period home or adding a touch of history to a contemporary space, our Empire and French Empire lighting pieces bring a sense of luxury and timeless elegance to any room. Antique chandeliers serve as stunning centerpieces in grand foyers or dining rooms while French Empire sconces are a refined wall lighting option that exudes classic beauty. 

Each made-to-order piece is handcrafted in our UL-certified Brooklyn workshop and can be customized for height, finish, and lamping to meet your project’s unique needs.
