Defining characteristics of French country lights lie in the materials and finishes of each fixture. Two materials most commonly used are wood and iron. These materials are often left unfinished or have a finish that displays the organic texture of the material such as weathered or patinaed. French country\u00a0lighting generally features a flame shaped bulb to reference the candles that were once the main source of lighting in old-country-living.<\/p>\n
