Mission Forge Spanish Colonial lighting collection represented by an architectural wrought iron chandelier with natural alabaster and forged detailing.

Mission Forge Spanish Colonial Lighting Collection

Substantial ironwork, restrained forged ornament, and natural alabaster shaped by the architectural traditions of Spanish Colonial design.

THE MISSION FORGE COLLECTION

The Mission Forge Spanish Colonial Lighting Collection brings together substantial iron construction, restrained scrollwork, pointed architectural forms, and natural stone across chandeliers, wall sconces, and vanity lighting.

Inspired by the ironwork traditions associated with Spanish Colonial architecture, Mission Forge avoids excessive ornament. Instead, character comes through proportion, forged curves, exposed structure, circular backplates, pointed terminals, and the visual weight of hand-worked metal.

Across the collection, that vocabulary moves from large rectangular chandeliers to compact single-light sconces and coordinated alabaster vanity fixtures.

Designed by our in-house team and made to order in the USA, Mission Forge fixtures are available in ten hand-applied signature finishes. Select designs include standard covers with optional wax or natural alabaster upgrades, while the vanity family is designed specifically around natural alabaster in four distinctive colors.

Customization may also be considered for qualifying projects.

Choose Your Mission Forge Fixture

Mission Forge was designed as a coordinated family rather than a single decorative motif repeated across unrelated products. Compare scale, material, light count, and architectural character to determine which interpretation best suits the surrounding space.

Spanish Colonial Character Without Excess

Mission Forge draws from the architectural ironwork traditions associated with Spanish Colonial design, but the collection does not depend upon elaborate ornament to establish its identity.

The structure comes first.

Strong horizontal and vertical members create the framework. Pointed terminals sharpen the silhouette. Circular backplates provide visual weight. Forged curves and restrained scrolls introduce movement within otherwise disciplined geometry.

The result feels historically influenced without becoming literal.

That distinction is important.

Mission Forge is not an attempt to reproduce an antique fixture. It uses the visual language of Spanish Colonial ironwork as the foundation for lighting intended for contemporary architectural interiors.

Structure Revealed Through Iron

Mission Forge does not conceal its construction.

Suspension rods, rectangular frames, vertical standards, pointed terminals, forged curves, and connecting members remain visible throughout the designs.

These elements become part of the fixture’s architecture.

The larger chandeliers make this particularly clear. Their suspension systems rise visibly from substantial iron frameworks, while smaller sconces reduce the same structural vocabulary to compact wall-mounted compositions.

Across every scale, the objective remains the same:

allow the iron itself to establish the character.

From Rectangular Architecture to a Circular Heritage Form

Mission Forge includes two distinct chandelier expressions.

Rectangular Mission Forge Chandeliers

The rectangular designs emphasize linear architecture and elongated proportion.

They are especially relevant over dining tables, islands, gathering areas, and spaces where the fixture should respond to a longer architectural footprint.

Two of the rectangular fixtures also incorporate integrated LED downlighting, creating illumination both above and below the frame.

Heritage Chandelier with Crosses

The circular six-light chandelier presents a more traditional interpretation.

Forged scrollwork, candle-style lights, and suspended iron crosses introduce a stronger heritage character while maintaining the substantial construction and pointed detailing shared throughout Mission Forge.

The two forms serve different architectural purposes without breaking the collection’s visual continuity.

Light Above. Light Below.

Select Mission Forge rectangular chandeliers incorporate integrated LED downlights beneath the iron framework.

The upper lights establish atmosphere and decorative presence.

The downlights provide more directed illumination toward the table, island, or architectural surface below.

This layered approach allows a substantial decorative chandelier to contribute useful illumination without asking the candle-style lights or alabaster shades to perform every lighting function.

For projects where the fixture must serve as both architectural centerpiece and functional source of light, this distinction can be especially valuable.

One Spanish Colonial Vocabulary. Four Wall Scales.

The candle-style Mission Forge sconces progress deliberately in width:

One Light — 6.5" Wide
A compact wall fixture for narrow spaces, paired mirror applications, corridors, and smaller architectural locations.

Two Lights — 12" Wide
A restrained symmetrical format with greater presence.

Three Lights — 20" Wide
A balanced intermediate scale suited to broader mirrors and wall applications.

Four Lights — 30" Wide
The broadest candle-style Mission Forge sconce, designed for substantial mirrors and larger architectural surfaces.

The Same Architecture, Reinterpreted Through Natural Stone

Mission Forge also includes a complete natural alabaster vanity family.

One Light — 6.5" Wide
The most compact stone configuration.

Two Lights — 12" Wide
A balanced two-light composition for smaller mirrors and vanities.

Three Lights — 24" Wide
A larger natural-stone interpretation with increased architectural presence.

Four Lights — 30.5" Wide
The broadest Mission Forge alabaster vanity configuration.

Unlike the candle-style sconces, these fixtures are designed specifically around natural alabaster.

The stone changes the character considerably.

The Spanish Colonial ironwork provides structure and historical reference, while the alabaster introduces translucency, veining, mineral movement, and natural variation.

Natural Stone Against Forged Iron

Alabaster creates one of the strongest material contrasts within Mission Forge.

The iron is controlled.

The stone is not.

Each natural alabaster shade carries individual variation in coloration, veining, mineral pattern, and translucency. When illuminated, those differences often become more pronounced.

Ashore Lighting offers four natural alabaster selections where specified:

• Amber
• White
• Amber with Red Veining
• White with Amber Veining

The exact options available should always be confirmed on the individual product page.

Change the Material Expression

Select Mission Forge fixtures begin with traditional candle-style covers and can be reinterpreted through alternative materials.

Standard Covers
The most restrained and traditional candle-style expression.

Wax Covers
Introduce additional warmth and texture while preserving the upright candle silhouette.

Natural Alabaster
Transforms the light source into luminous stone, introducing individual veining, color, and translucency.

Where natural alabaster is offered as an upgrade, available colors are shown on the individual fixture page.

The iron architecture remains constant.

The selected material changes the atmosphere.

Ten Signature Finishes

Mission Forge fixtures are available in ten hand-applied signature finishes, allowing the ironwork to move from darker, more traditional expressions to warmer metallic interpretations.

Because the framework is such a prominent part of these designs, finish selection can have a significant effect on how the fixture relates to cabinetry, hardware, stone, woodwork, and surrounding architectural materials.

Made to Order by Ashore Lighting

The Mission Forge Collection was developed by Ashore Lighting’s in-house design team and is made to order in the USA.

Because we manufacture our own lighting, Mission Forge fixtures can be considered as part of the architecture rather than treated as fixed retail products.

Depending on the fixture and project requirements, our team can review modifications involving dimensions, suspension, projection, light configuration, finish coordination, alabaster selection, and other design considerations.

For qualifying residential, hospitality, and commercial projects, Ashore Lighting can also work from architectural drawings, elevations, reflected ceiling plans, and project specifications where appropriate.

The Mission Forge Spanish Colonial Lighting Collection is a family of made-to-order wrought iron chandeliers, wall sconces, and natural alabaster vanity lights manufactured in the USA by Ashore Lighting.

Ashore Lighting manufactures the Mission Forge Collection using artisan-finished ironwork, natural alabaster, and original Spanish Colonial-inspired designs developed by its in-house lighting team for ceiling, wall, and vanity applications.

Adapt Mission Forge to the Architecture

Mission Forge fixtures are made to order, allowing our team to review modifications where the standard design does not fully resolve the surrounding architecture.

Depending on the fixture, customization may include adjustments to dimensions, projection, suspension length, light configuration, canopy requirements, finish coordination, alabaster selection, and other project-specific considerations.

For larger projects, multiple Mission Forge fixtures can also be coordinated across adjoining rooms while maintaining a consistent material and design vocabulary.

FAQs

Mission Forge is influenced by Spanish Colonial architectural ironwork. The collection uses substantial metal construction, pointed terminals, restrained scrolls, forged curves, circular backplates, and strong geometric frameworks.

Both collections use disciplined ironwork, but Mission Forge has a stronger Spanish Colonial influence with more visible forged curves, scroll details, pointed forms, and Old World architectural character.

In many cases, yes. Because Ashore Lighting manufactures its own lighting, project-specific modifications may be reviewed before production.
