About

The English House, founded by architect Charles Morris in 2006, specializes in designing and crafting handmade interior and exterior light fittings in England. Their mission is to produce lighting that embodies classical simplicity and timeless beauty, seamlessly integrating into various architectural styles, from historic Tudor manors to contemporary minimalist studios. Each piece reflects a deep understanding of materials and a commitment to quality craftsmanship.

Drawing inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement, The English House emphasizes integrity of purpose and robust construction in their designs. Charles Morris, a member of the Art Workers Guild, follows the tradition of architects like Sir Edwin Lutyens and C.F.A. Voysey, who meticulously designed every aspect of their buildings, including light fixtures. This influence is evident in the company's range of products, which includes wall lights, chandeliers, candelabras, ceiling lanterns, and table lamps, all characterized by honest forms and timeless lines.

Over the years, The English House has garnered a reputation for creating lighting solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Their fittings are equally suited for intimate residential spaces and large public areas, offering versatility and elegance. The company's dedication to maintaining traditional craftsmanship while adapting to contemporary needs has made their products sought after by interior designers and homeowners alike.

In August 2023, after 17 years of successful operation, Charles Morris announced the transition of The English House to new ownership. The company will continue to be based in East Anglia, with the product range and commitment to English manufacturing remaining unchanged. During the transition period, customers can place forward orders by contacting Mark Hoare and Ted Ridge via email at info@theenglishhouse.co.uk. Charles Morris expressed gratitude to the many customers in the UK and worldwide who have remained loyal over the years, ensuring the legacy of The English House's exceptional handmade light fittings continues.
