January Lamp Sale

We hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season. We have put away the ribbon and garlands and vacuumed up the last of the holiday glitter. As we head into the new year we once again use the shorter days of January for our annual lamp sale.

The Lamp Sale will take place at all five of our locations from January 11th until the 28th of the month. All lighting will be reduced 20% with an array of clearance lamps marked down up to 60%. Our beautiful selection of chandliers are of course included in the sale.

 The word “lamp,” comes from the Greek word “lampas” meaning torch. Human beings have found ways to illuminate the dark for many thousands of years. It wasn’t until around the 7th century BC that the Greeks began making terra cotta lamps that replaced torches.

Over the centuries lighting has been refined and improved upon. Long gone are the days when olive or whale oil were commonly used to light the night. Today at our stores you will find a wide assortment of beautiful lamps and shades.

At the Kellogg Collection you can find most of your lighting needs. We carry beautiful table lamps, floor lamps, wall sconces and chandeliers. We also carry classic english silk pleated shades in a variety of sizes and colors.

We always like to remind our customers that our flagship store moved north on Wisconsin Ave. this past June and you can now find us at 5215 Wisconsin Ave., NW. between Harrison and Ingomar Streets. We also have reserved parking just off  Ingomar behind the white trellis fence.

At Kellogg we believe that lamps and lighting are essential to fine interior design and function. The right lighting produces many moods and experiences. Our staff is happy to assist you in finding just the right lighting fixture for your needs.

 

Here is a link about the lamps used in the filming of the currently running second season of Downton Abbey on Masterpiece Theater. Set just before and during World War One, lamps and lighting were undergoing a revolution of their own and the lighting used in the filming of this series is very important to setting the scene. We look forward to seeing you this month.
