1773 Billiards Pool Table Light

Reclaimed Barrel Stave Hanging Light — Colonial Illumination, Cooper’s Craft, Early American Warmth

In taverns, inns, and homesteads of the American colonies, light was more than function — it was fellowship, warmth, and a welcome for good company. This hanging fixture carries that legacy forward, built from authentic whiskey barrel staves and solid hardwood ends, then fitted with a modern bronze four-lamp assembly for heirloom charm with dependable performance.

Each stave retains its natural curvature, earned through flame-bending in the cooper’s yard. The exterior is finished in a rich, hand-applied stain, while the interior preserves the deep black char that once rested against aging spirit — now sealed to protect its character and honor its story. When lit, the staves cast a warm sunburst glow, reminiscent of lantern light spilling across tavern walls in 1773 — the kind that invites conversation and good company.

Fitted with a bronze 4-bulb cluster, your light arrives with a cord and plug for immediate installation, and may be hard-wired if desired. A steel eye-hook at each end offers secure suspension, giving you full freedom to choose chain style, length, and ceiling height to suit your room. Every piece is built by hand, one at a time — no mass production, no shortcuts.

A cooper shaped the oak; a craftsman shaped the light; your home carries the story forward.
