Urban Archaeology is a premier design resource for lighting, washstands, bath tubs, bath furnishings and artisan tile. Founded in New York City in 1978, Urban has grown from a small architectural salvage business to a manufacturer and purveyor of award winning, to-the-trade luxury goods. What sets us apart is our willingness and ability to customize our existing lines or create new custom products to suit any design vision in our Long Island City factory.
