Selected for Longevity
At Fisherman’s Lights, we’ve brought together British-made Burford pendants and European-crafted Mullan and Sollux designs, chosen for their authentic materials and timeless finishes.

They pair perfectly with Mullan’s brass wall and ceiling lights from Ireland, and Sollux’s minimalist shades from mainland Europe. Each piece celebrates design integrity and build quality — lighting that feels solid, thoughtful and genuine.
Quality Over Trends
People Also Ask
What defines modern farmhouse lighting style?
Modern farmhouse lighting blends rustic warmth with contemporary clean lines. Typical features include aged brass or copper finishes, matt black metalwork, enamel shades, and industrial-inspired cage designs. It’s characterized by authentic materials and artisan craftsmanship rather than overly decorative elements—think functional beauty with heritage character.
Will farmhouse lighting suit my contemporary kitchen?
Absolutely. Modern farmhouse lighting works beautifully in contemporary spaces, providing warmth and texture that prevents modern kitchens feeling sterile. The key is choosing pieces with cleaner lines—matt black cage pendants or simple brass sconces complement contemporary units whilst adding character. It’s about balance, not theme.
What’s the difference between farmhouse and industrial lighting?
While they share some characteristics (metal finishes, utilitarian design), farmhouse lighting tends toward warmer finishes like aged brass, copper, or painted enamel, creating a softer, more inviting feel. Industrial lighting often uses darker metals, more angular designs, and references factory aesthetics. Modern farmhouse sits between rustic country and industrial edge.
Are your farmhouse lights made in the UK?
Yes, our Burford range is hand-finished in the UK with coastal heritage design. We also stock complementary pieces from Ireland (Mullan brass fittings) and quality European makers (Sollux). Each piece is chosen for authentic materials and craftsmanship rather than mass-produced imports. All meet UK safety standards with proper certifications.
What finishes work best for modern farmhouse style?
The most versatile finishes are aged brass, antique copper, matt black, and painted enamel in heritage colours (cream, sage, slate grey). These finishes complement natural wood, shaker cabinetry, and neutral colour schemes. Choose warmer metals (brass/copper) for traditional-leaning spaces, matt black for contemporary edge.
Can I mix different metal finishes in farmhouse lighting?
Yes, mixing metals is perfectly acceptable in modern farmhouse style—it adds depth and authenticity. Common combinations include brass pendants with black wall lights, or copper accents with aged brass fixtures. The key is ensuring at least one finish appears multiple times to create intentional coordination rather than random mixing.
How do I maintain brass and copper farmhouse lights?
Aged brass and copper finishes are designed to develop natural patina over time—this is part of their character and requires no maintenance. For brushed brass or copper that you want to keep bright, occasionally wipe with appropriate metal polish. Matt black and enamel finishes simply need wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals on all farmhouse finishes.
Will farmhouse lighting date quickly?
No—authentic farmhouse lighting is inherently timeless because it references traditional craftsmanship and functional design rather than trends. Quality pieces like our UK-made Burford fixtures are built to last decades and their classic designs remain relevant. Avoid overly themed pieces; choose lights you’d find in original farmhouses updated with modern reliability.
