Many rustic fixtures use metal (typically steel) for the body. Tabletop pieces often use resin, rattan, or wood, and shades frequently use fabric such as cotton or linen.
Common finishes and tones include olde bronze, olde iron (dark iron-gray), galvanized steel (silvery-gray), and charcoal matte.
Common bases are Standard Edison Medium Screw (E26) and Candelabra Edison Screw (E12). Listed maximum wattages include 100 W and 60 W; one table lamp lists 42 W.
Ceiling fixtures are shown as hardwired installations; table and accent lamps use plug-in power with a cord (several list a five-foot cord).
These fixtures are shown for indoor use above kitchen islands, in dining rooms and living rooms, bedrooms, and a vanity fixture rated for damp bathroom locations.
Some ceiling fixtures are listed as full-range dimmable, while many table and accent lamps use simple on/off controls or rotary-socket switches.
Certifications vary: several ceiling fixtures list no certifications, while some table lamps show safety listings such as UL or ETL in their product details.
