Ribbed metalwork is framed in drum or square formed options available in both ceiling mounts and pendants. The two-tone finish of Oil Rubbed Bronze with Burnished Brass frame offers classic styling while Weathered Zinc with Matte Satin Nickel offers a more country elegant option. The incandescent lighting is softly diffused through a frosted glass diffuser. Maxim Lighting was founded in 1970 when aeronautical engineering student Jacob Sperling began to design and build his own light fixtures, which he first sold out of the back of a station wagon! The company has grown exponentially since and today it features a wide variety of lighting that spans different styles and is suitable for any space. Maxim Lighting's sister company is ET2, another Lights Online brand, which focuses on contemporary lighting designs.
