LARGO, FL - Wendover Art Group, a domestic manufacturer of artwork, mirrors, signage and wallcoverings announces the acquisition of Lowcountry Originals, a domestic artisanal lighting manufacturer based in Bluffton, South Carolina.
Lowcountry Originals has been serving the luxury lighting market since 2009.

Becky Brackett, founder of Lowcountry Originals, will continue to lead in the design, development, and expansion of the products.
“Richard Forsyth and his experienced team are a perfect match to take Lowcountry Originals to the next level of luxury in the design, commercial, and hospitality industries. The high-quality manufacturing process, aesthetic, and long-term success is what attracted me to Wendover. The passion, energy, and quality of this company is fascinating. I am thrilled to have Lowcountry Originals be part of that new vision of artisan lighting and art together,” says Becky Brackett.
“We fell in love with Lowcountry Originals upon introduction and knew this was a natural fit. Like Wendover, Lowcountry Originals offers luxurious, hand-crafted, domestically manufactured, and custommade pieces. This partnership will allow for an expanded product offering, and strong manufacturing footprint within the lighting, sculpture and bedswing categories—allowing Wendover and Lowcountry Originals to serve our customers better and drive strong continued growth,” says CEO, Richard Forsyth.
The acquisition includes The Light Post Boutique, a premier lighting showroom in Bluffton and home to Lowcountry Originals—where the custom lighting first came to life. The lighting boutique is ready to expand under the umbrella of Wendover Art Group.
