All of Sherle Wagner International’s fixtures are handmade and hand-finished, with an attention to detail that shines through in the finished products. The process is rigorous from start to finish, “as a team of metalworkers, ceramicists, painters, and other artisans combine old-world techniques with today’s cutting-edge technologies,” according to Interior Design. And this attention to detail extends even beyond the creative process. The company operates from a 19th-century manufacturing facility in Massachusetts, cementing its reputation as a classically modern manufacturer of high-end, American-made products for almost a century.

The company prides itself on its “practically limitless custom capabilities” that enable their clients to choose from a vast number of options, from hand-painted detailed design to semi-precious stones and accents like ceramic glaze that complete the overall luxe looks.
