The third floor of our building is devoted to antique restorations, conversions, custom painting, and repairs. Here’s where magic happens.
Restorations:
Antique chandeliers are rewired and cleaned. Crystal drops are cleaned and rewired before they grace the fixture. Brass is cleaned and refurbished so that the original splendor is back. Missing crystals, broken arms, and missing parts can all be replaced. Here are two chandeliers waiting for magic:

Conversions:
We’ve converted vases, trumpets, antiques toys, figurines, trophies and a wide assortment of sculpture into lamps over the years.

Custom Painting:
We have the capability to change the finish or color of just about everything we sell.

This iron chandelier used to be white. When our customer changed her décor, we hand painted a new finish on her old piece. |
Repairs:
Just a sample of the hundreds of “sick” lamps that come through our repair room for new sockets, cords, and a multitude of other remedies.
