OUR PROCESS
From Vision to Finished Form
The Pared approach honors artisan techniques, reshaping antique forms for contemporary decorating. The “pared down” quality of each of our seven sconces allow for endless interpretations in any space.
We partner with you from beginning to end, delivering a one-of-a-kind piece specified for your project.
INSPIRATION
01
Each Pared sconce originates as a collaborative study in color, finish, and ornamentation. Clients are encouraged to share a preferred paint selection from any deck, fabric or wallcovering, which we use as the foundation for our custom mixed hues. From hand-gilded edging to more intricate decorative motifs and pattern matches, every detail is thoughtfully considered to bring your vision to life.
Throughout the process, painted sample plates and watercolor renderings are shared to confirm paint color, decoration and finishes while the sconces are in manufacturing.
MADE TO ORDER
Current lead times are approximately 14 weeks.
FABRICATION
02
Every sconce is made to order by dedicated craftsmen at Conant Metal & Light, before it is hand-painted in our studio. The artisans shape each form with precision and restraint, preserving the character of traditional decorative lighting.
FINISHING
03
Following manufacturing, each sconce is hand-painted, gilded, and waxed in our studio, keeping with the Pared tradition.
DELIVERY
04
Once complete, the finished sconce is carefully packed and prepared for delivery. Made entirely to order, every piece arrives as a reflection of the decorative partnership between client, craftsman, and studio.
