Garber's Crafted Lighting


In the year of 1969 my husband Robert started working with a friend of his who was in Pennsylvania making handcrafted early american lighting. His apprenticeship grew until 1976 when he decided to strike it out on his own. My husband and I started Garbers’s Crafted Lighting in the basement of our home in Pennsylvania. Robert and I were making a number of different types of lighting from outdoor to punched tin chandeliers to punched tin hanging shades, kitchen island shades, wall sconces and small gift items. Then we moved from Pennsylvania to Arkansas on his fathers homestead.

As the years passed, everyday life had away of changing. In the fall of 1997, an auto accident nearly killed my husband and I. Things were not back to normal where my husband was concerned, his injuries were severe and we decided to close the business down.

In the meantime, I was working outside the home for awhile but didn't like what I was experiencing as an employee. In January 2001, I made a decision to quit and strike out on my own. By January 1, 2002, I opened the workshop and expanded to wooden chandeliers and ceiling fan, wood light kits, plus..., doing it myself and being able to stay home with my husband of 35 years. With a little help, I am handcrafting once again. (Even though this happened almost 10 years ago he still has a lot of pain that never went away, but he is there for me when I need help and encouragement). I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoy making the products in this online catalog.

Thank you so much for your interest,
     Sincerely, Diane Garber, owner
