This bustling showroom (and to-the-trade electric supply) is one of 10 locations of a 65-plus-year-old PA firm that has discreetly illumined Main Line manses, glamorously lit up Vegas hotels, set up budget-minded first-time homeowners with $200 Moroccan-inspired chandeliers, and furnished money’s-no-object retirees with $20,000 worth of Fine Art cascading crystals. On-staff interior and lighting designers make home visits, draw up blueprints and get you glowing with overhead sparklers by Schonbek, elegant rust-finished sconces, homey outdoor lanterns, modern track systems and Murray Feiss’s impeccable wrought-iron fixtures. Also in stock: French-country side tables, Versailles-worthy mirrors, original paintings and more. Yale’s biggest sale is in January, when floor samples are up to 50-percent off.
The Philadelphia Wine Festival is back for its 9th year! This premier tasting event boasts nearly 200 fine wineries from around the world. May 8. Philadelphia Marriott Downtown.
