Style is in the details!
I've always been drawn like a moth to a great vintage table lamp. After repeatedly encountering rusty, unattractive lamp finials on otherwise fantastic lamps - in 2012 I decided to craft my own.
My process as a maker has always been this: does it exist? If yes, I look elsewhere for inspiration. It's that simple.
About twelve years ago, I started making finials from agate slices. They proved popular, so I started exploring other designs.
In 2014, I introduced a line of Asian carved stone finials and offered them for sale in my Etsy shop, Pythagoras Place (Est. 2010). Also that year, I moved my assortment over to Hunter's Alley, an offshoot of One Kings Lane, and to OneKingsLane.com & Chairish.
My journey as a maker has allowed me to continue creating with new and exclusive materials, like graffiti fordite, while continuing to include specimen-grade minerals in my designs. I believe Top Finials offers the highest quality lamp finials on Etsy.
All TopFinials designs are hand-assembled in Wisconsin using commercially available components. Finials are secured with jeweler's grade adhesive, with some designs incorporating clay, epoxy resin, or plaster to alter or stabilize the decorative element. Some decorative elements are reworked by drilling, sawing, or painting. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about my designs or their suitability for your project.
The average home has 8 table lamps. TopFinials will give your lamps a distinctive finishing touch. It truly is like jewelry for your lamp. After all, style is in the details!
