Colonial Grandeur Meets Contemporary Innovation to Benefit the Home or Hospitality Environment, and The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

The elegance of colonial decorative traditions in 18th century America was unparalleled. Keeping contemporary architectural environments in mind, Hudson Valley Ligthing’s® Williamsburg Collection® brilliantly fuses today’s lifestyle with lighting fixtures based on period designs from this stylish, bygone, American era. Inspired by the period’s industrial advances and keen attention to craftsmanship, the Williamsburg Collection pays special attention to authenticity, making the fixtures true to the era yet scaled for the modern home. They are graceful, ornate and invoke the feelings of comfort and elegance. At the same time they blend in seamlessly with the modern architectural stylings of today.

The Williamsburg Collection is inspired by the historic structures and extensive antique collections of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. The foundation privately represents and maintains the historic district of Williamsburg, Virginia. Within this 301-acre Historic Area, there are hundreds of 18th century buildings that have been reconstructed and restored to their original grandeur. It’s a revolutionary city that represents diversity of people and the origins of a country. It’s a tourist attraction, but it’s also a major draw for homeowners and designers who come to get inspired by its period designs. Aptly, the foundation’s motto is “The future may learn from the past.”
 
Hudson Valley Lighting’s Williamsburg Collection is not only inspired by the historic structures and extensive antique collections of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, but also sales from the collection support the foundation through the licensing partnership agreement. Proceeds go directly towards helping the foundation’s efforts to preserve and promote the Williamsburg Historic Area.
 
“Our gratitude in regards to the inspiration the Williamsburg Historic Area has provided our collection, as well as our belief in the value of preserving this incredible area, is extremely high,” says Steve Nadell, President of Hudson Valley Lighting. “That is why we choose to give back and why each sale from our Williamsburg Collection directly supports The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.”
 
Even the most modern living and hospitality spaces can benefit from the elegant touch of the Williamsburg Collection. For designers who are looking to recreate the authenticity of the American colonial era, they need not look any further. Hudson Valley Lighting’s impeccable attention to detail and craftsmanship, when designing each piece, is evident to even the most discerning eye.
 
All Williamsburg lighting fixtures are designed in-house to maintain the level of quality and authenticity that Hudson Valley Lighting is known for. Homeowners wishing to add a touch of upscale elegance or designers wishing to create an authentic reproduction of colonial style will find that the Williamsburg Collection offers a vast array of lighting fixtures in a series of authentic themes.
