One of our favorite pieces we’ve ever thrifted is this Martha and Beaumont Mood Ceramic Pendant Light from the 1960s. Martha Mood. Born in California, Martha and her husband, a Texas-raised photographer named Beaumont Mood, moved to Dallas then resettled in San Antonio in the 1950s. The Witte Museum held a solo exhibition of her ceramic work in 1957. Martha met architect O’Neil Ford during the show and began a professional collaboration with the pioneer of Texas modernism. Beaumont devised how to fabricate the lights so they could be produced more quickly than by hand but preserve their handcrafted look.
Their company, Beaumont Mood Lighting, made ceramic light fixtures, fountains, and other architectural features for Ford’s projects. They are abundant in San Antonio, where they hang at Trinity, at St. Mary’s Hall prep school, and even a Bill Miller barbecue restaurant.
