Our Motif
Our lamppost base motif draws loose inspiration from the iconic 'Claddagh Ring,' creating a strong connection to our Irish heritage within our exterior lights.
As the 'Claddagh Ring' gained widespread interest towards the end of the 20th century, evolving from a jewellery piece to a symbol reflecting historical significance, its symbolism became integrated into various objects, including traditional knitwear and serving as the central motif for our cast iron garden lights.
The interlace design and Celtic imagery inherent in the 'Claddagh Ring' have propelled its popularity globally, representing enduring themes of love, loyalty, and friendship. Often utilised as a symbol of friendship, it has also become a subtle indicator for those seeking companionship. Additionally, many embrace these rings as symbols of engagement and wedding commitments.
We take pride in infusing the 'Claddagh Ring' symbolism into our designs, making our products distinctly Irish.
