Most of my pieces are made with unfinished metals, therefore they will tarnish over time. Patina only adds character to the piece, but if tarnish is not desired wax or mineral oils can be applied regularly. Contact me if you have any questions or shipping inquiries.

I will refund any shipping overcharge exceeding $2.00, please feel free to request a shipping estimate.

For Adjustable Articulating Wall Mount Art Light Brass And Nickel Loft & Gallery SconceI found a picture of a light fixture I wanted in a magazine. My decorator and I looked EVERYWHERE for a similar one. I stumbled on the Custom Made website during this search. Jay seemed to make something similar. I contacted him and through endless emails of pictures and drawings we developed, together, the perfect compromise. Jay could not have been easier to work with, his price was very reasonable and we LOVE the light fixture!
