Is Lostine furniture made to order?

Many pieces are made to order in their Philadelphia workshop. Lead times are listed on each individual product page — check before ordering for a specific move-in or gift date.

Can I return a Lostine item if it doesn't fit the space?

Select items can be returned within 30 days in new, unused condition. Vintage furniture, fine art, and one-of-a-kind pieces are final sale and not returnable.

Does Lostine offer help choosing finishes for a senior's new home?

Yes — their Showroom Suite in Philadelphia offers appointment-only viewings, in person or virtual, to see finish samples before ordering.

When does buying fewer, better pieces matter more than buying more pieces?

Downsizing into a smaller home, or simply furnishing a space meant to be the last move, changes the math on furniture and lighting. A piece that's handcrafted from solid wood and leather, built to be repaired rather than replaced, costs more upfront but doesn't need replacing in five years — which matters when the goal is settling in once, not redecorating again.

Why the Lostine Handcrafted Lighting & Furniture Is Worth Considering

Lostine uses materials — solid wood, hand-stitched leather, brass — chosen specifically because they develop character with age rather than wearing out. For a senior settling into a forever home, or downsizing into a space where every remaining piece needs to earn its place, that durability and timelessness matters more than trend.

The collection spans sconces, pendants, chandeliers, and table and floor lamps; furniture and mirrors; hardware and utility pieces; and a curated vintage collection of one-of-a-kind furniture, art, and objects. Many pieces are made to order, with lead times noted on each product page.

Lostine also runs a Trade Program for designers and a Showroom Suite for in-person or virtual appointment viewings — useful if a family is furnishing a senior's new home and wants to see finishes before committing.
