The Currey & Company Alternative

Currey & Company has spent decades building a reputation for lighting and furnishings that feel genuinely handmade. Their chandeliers, pendants, and table lamps are crafted with natural materials — wrought iron, natural shells, hand-applied gold leaf, and reclaimed wood — creating pieces with a warmth and authenticity that mass-produced lighting simply cannot achieve.

Currey & Company — Handcrafted Lighting That Defines a Space

Beyond lighting, Currey & Company produces a distinctive range of accent furniture, mirrors, and decorative objects that share the same artisan DNA. Their collections span from rustic elegance to contemporary glamour, unified by an unwavering commitment to handcraftsmanship.

At Emerald & Oak, Currey & Company is a go-to brand when projects call for lighting and accents with genuine soul. Their pieces bring texture, warmth, and a sense of history that elevates rooms from beautiful to unforgettable.

Why Currey & Company Stands Apart

Currey & Company's distinction lies in their process:

When a room needs warmth, texture, and a sense of soul, Currey & Company delivers.

  • Handcrafted lighting using natural materials: wrought iron, shell, wood, gold leaf
  • A design range spanning rustic coastal to contemporary glamour — unified by artisan quality
  • Accent furniture and mirrors with the same handmade character as their lighting
  • Trade-exclusive collections and finishes that keep rooms feeling distinctive

Beautiful Fixtures Need Beautiful Rooms

Currey & Company creates exceptional lighting — but lighting is only part of the equation:

A chandelier is a promise. The room beneath it should keep that promise.

  • Lighting plans need professional calibration: A hand-forged Currey chandelier needs the right ceiling height, table proportion, and ambient light balance to achieve its full impact.
  • Material coordination is essential: Wrought iron, gold leaf, natural shell — these materials need furniture and textiles that complement rather than compete with their character.
  • Installation requires expertise: Artisan lighting pieces are often heavier and more delicate than standard fixtures, requiring professional handling and installation.
  • The best pieces are trade-only: Currey & Company's most distinctive designs and finishes are reserved for authorized design trade partners.

Lighting Designed Into the Room

We select and specify Currey & Company lighting as part of a complete room design — ensuring every fixture enhances the furniture, materials, and spatial proportions around it.

  • Complete Lighting Plans: Ambient, task, and accent lighting coordinated together — with Currey & Company fixtures selected for specific roles within each room.
  • Material Story: Currey's wrought iron paired with Four Hands' reclaimed wood and Exquisite Rugs' natural fibers — a material narrative that flows through the entire room.
  • Professional Installation: Every Currey fixture delivered, installed, and positioned to achieve the lighting designer's intended effect.
  • Layered Design: Lighting is one layer of a complete room — furniture, rugs, art, and accessories designed in concert to create something greater than the sum of its parts.

  • Clients seeking trade-exclusive access to Currey & Company's full catalog
  • Anyone building or renovating who wants lighting designed as part of a complete room plan
