About House of Troy

House of Troy was founded in 1947 by Everett Bailey in Montreal, Canada. Mr. Bailey operated a small custom lamp manufacturing company selling to gift and department stores in the Montreal area. His son, Norm, took over the business in 1960 and began specializing in picture lights. He moved the business to Troy, Vermont in 1962. Hence the name House of Troy.

The hand-craftsmanship involved in building House of Troy picture lights has changed little over the past seventy years. Each light is hand rolled, soldered, buffed, and assembled by our employees in Vermont. Each employee checks the quality to insure that only the finest lights are shipped to their valued customers throughout the world.

House of Troy products are designed in Vermont to assure lasting performance. While the majority of its products are manufactured in Vermont, they also source parts and products worldwide in order to provide their customers with the best possible value.

In 1986 the manufacturing operation was moved to their present location in Hyde Park, Vermont where they continue to produce fine task lighting. Over the years House of Troy has developed solid-state LED options for every category of task lamp they sell.

Tucked into the Northern Vermont Hills, just down the road from the picturesque ski village of Stowe. House of Troy has been producing classic lighting since the mid 1940’s. Though off the beaten path and far from the spotlights of the big cities, their reputation burns brightly. For nearly seventy years, House of Troy has offered lighting known for its craftsmanship and quality.

House of Troy began as metal workers, making products to illuminate fine art work. Over the years they expanded their line to include floor lamps, table lamps and wall lamps. They design their products around a light source creating fine task lamps which suit a need. 

In 2013 House of Troy purchased Scatchard Stoneware and opened their pottery in Hyde Park Vermont. Using a high fire reduction process and proprietary glazes, they now offer decorative lamps with beautiful deep finishes that will stand the test of time.
