Pearson
This French Art Deco-inspired end table features walnut and sycamore veneers accented with antique brass ferrules. The inlaid sycamore creates a minimal, yet dramatic, starburst that continues over the edge of the table’s apron. It measures 23” high x 27” diameter. www. pearsoncompany.com

McLean Lighting Works
This wall lantern is an example of the handmade indoor and outdoor 18th century reproduction and custom lighting from this North Carolina manufacturer.

French Heritage
The attention-getting Large Dune mirror has a stylized design that emanates energy. It measures 45.7 inches in diameter. www.frenchheritage.com
Varaluz
The Line Up! vanity light is comprised of chrome and recycled waterspot glass. The artisanal chrome, which is reportedly a much more eco- and people-friendly process, is hand-worked in the company’s Philippines factory. Slight imperfections are evidence of its artistry.
