Every light you see is an authentic antique: none are reproductions.
Most of our antique lights were made in America, circa 1840 to 1920.

We have a huge inventory of chandeliers and hanging fixtures, wall sconces and wall brackets, floor lamps (including organ lamps and piano lamps), and table and desk lamps (including figural gas portables and standards). We also carry rare and unusual forms such as newel post lamps, pendants for kitchen islands and hallways, billiard lights for game rooms, double-partner desk lamps and rolltop desk lamps, lights to illuminate your precious oil paintings, cigar lighters, gimbel lights from ships and railroad cars, and flushmount fixtures for those problematic low elevation locations. We offer massive multi-tiered chandeliers for ballrooms and entry foyers, medium-sized chandeliers and hanging fixtures for dining rooms and living rooms, and small chandeliers for bedrooms and baths. On our site, you will find gas lighting (gaseliers/gasoliers), early electric lighting and transitional or combination gas and electric lights.
