Ernest Charles took over Maison Ullman, which was specialising in the reproduction of old lighting, and created Maison Charles in 1908 in Paris. In 1920, Emile Albert Charles took over the company. His brother Pierre joined him in 1932. 1959 was a historic turning point for Maison Charles. Jean and Jacques, Emile’s sons, joined the business. Both studied interior design. Less than a year later, the father and his sons created the Charles style, combining classicism and modernity. They created the lamps Ananas (Pineapple), Pomme de Pin (Pinecone), Maïs (Corn) and Lotus .
In 1965, the family created the Inox collection and the Orgues lamps which are now a flagship product. In 1971, Christyane Charles, Jean’s spouse, created the Christyane collection, inspired by plant patterns. Maison Charles joined Comité Colbert in 1984. This committee rounds up the most renowned French artistic and creative companies.
Charles is still in business today, and in addition to the range of historic lights that have made the house’s reputation, they create a more contemporary range, as well as customized lights.

Domestic shipping
Every piece ships from our warehouse in Miami. Shipping is quoted per order, so you are never charged an estimate — we price the actual crate, the actual route, and the actual service level, and send it to you before you commit.
Small and medium decorative objects — lamps, vases, prints, ceramics — travel by FedEx or UPS Ground, fully insured, signature required. Typical transit is 3–7 business days.
Furniture and large pieces travel by white-glove freight with BMC International Freight. Delivery is room of choice, subject to the carrier's access at your address. Freight transit varies by destination and is typically 7–14 business days. We contact you to arrange a delivery window.
International shipping
We ship worldwide, quoted case by case. Tell us the piece and the destination and we will price crating, freight, insurance and customs handling for you.
Packing
Every piece is packed by hand using museum-quality materials. Fragile items are double-boxed with custom foam inserts. Glass and detachable elements are removed and packed separately, then reassembled on arrival.
Returns
Returns are accepted within one day of delivery. To return a piece, notify us within that window and return it in the same condition in which it arrived.
The buyer pays all shipping costs — outbound and return — and a 15% restocking fee.
This mirrors the terms you already know from the major marketplaces. Because the window is short, we would rather you ask first: request additional photographs, measurements or a condition report before you buy, and we will send them the same day.
If something arrives damaged
Photograph the packaging and the piece before unpacking further, and contact us within 48 hours. We handle all freight claims directly and will arrange a resolution.
