PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: CHARLES RIVER WINE CELLARS

We love to feature American artisan manufacturers who share our high standards for aesthetic and functional design. Charles River Wine Cellars is an excellent example.

A simple ceiling fixture featuring a simple form and subtle old world details adds a transitional design counterpoint to this cellar's natural stone masonry and rich mahogany. — A simple ceiling fixture featuring a simple form and subtle old world details adds a transitional design counterpoint to this cellar’s natural stone masonry and rich mahogany.

What started out as a simple passion for beautiful wine cellar designs launched Edward Loughran into a world of specialty varietals and high style storage solutions. As a stonemason by trade, Loughran’s attention to high quality craftsmanship can be seen across New England. Indeed, his personalized designs — whether for wine tasting or showcasing — all reflect the artistry and complexity of winemaking itself.

In 1999, Loughran founded Charles River Wine Cellars after assembling a strong group of professional artisans and designers. Fusing a dual passion for craftsmanship and fine wine, every cellar design executed by his team reflects the exceptional skill and impeccable quality of numerous custom features, ranging from LED accent lighting to weathered stone accents.

Loughran’s affinity for high quality materials, excellent craftsmanship and sophisticated artistry naturally struck a chord with our team at Hammerton. In a collaborative effort with designer Randi Skiffington of Interiors By Randi, a beautiful wine cellar design was completed for a client’s home on Lake Winnipesaukee and finished with several of Hammerton’s elegant, old world-inspired light fixtures.

For the stacked stone hallway, interior designer Randi Skiffington chose a simple sconce design featuring an old world stem to enhance the room's European feel. — For the stacked stone hallway, interior designer Randi Skiffington chose a simple sconce design featuring an old world stem to enhance the room’s European feel.

Graceful curves were combined with a bold use of antique iron-finished steel to achieve this unique custom ceiling fixture, which serves as the centerpiece in the cellar's tasting room. — Graceful curves were combined with a bold use of antique iron-finished steel to achieve this unique custom ceiling fixture, which serves as the centerpiece in the cellar’s tasting room.

Double-light sconces echo the design elements of the central ceiling fixture and wash the stone walls with light, enlarging the room and highlighting the room's stunning finish details. — Double-light sconces echo the design elements of the central ceiling fixture and wash the stone walls with light, enlarging the room and highlighting the room’s stunning finish details.
