Welcome to our website of Authentic Antique Lighting!
CIRCA 1830-1930.
We are offering the finest and widest selection of antique lighting available from this period, including antique gas lights, early antique electric and antique kerosene lights, antique chandeliers, antique Gaseliers and antique gasoliers (both acceptable spellings), antique transitional gas and electric light fixtures, antique floor lights and lamps, antique table lights and lamps, antique wall sconces, antique wall brackets, antique exterior period lighting, antique etched and antique art glass light shades including Steuben, Tiffany, Quezal and various other period artists.
Here at Allen's Antique Lighting, Cindy and Chris Allen specialize in delivering to you fully restored and complete pieces of various lighting fixtures for your home, whether it be a period abode, a new house or place of business.
The way we typically run a project is this: first you browse through our pictures of various lights in their unrestored state which you can find through the links to the left (we show less than 5% of our entire available inventory on the web), taking note the item numbers of the pieces that interested you. Then you either
e-mail us at info@antiquelight.com
or give us a call at 1-978-688-6466
and let us know which ones you liked. Then we (Cindy usually handles this side of things) discuss what elements of those pieces appealed to you in order to find an additional variety of similar lights within our collection to take photos of and send back to you with prices. Then you make a decision on which one(s) you want, give us some particulars on how you want it restored - e.g. which shades to put on, whether to conserve the original finish or changing the finish. We offer a wide range of finishes in addition to museum quality conservation. In general our goal is to make every light that we sell look like it was always cared for rather than making it look like it was made yesterday.
We don't show any prices on the web, this is intentional, we're not trying to be annoying. There are a few reasons why we do this. Most important is that since we do only show less than 5% of our lighting on the web, there will be quite a range of value even within a particular style, and we wouldn't want you dismayed by a specific piece being more or less special than you expected. Another reason is the price will depend partly on which shades you select. We sell mostly to the trade, designers and architects, many of our pieces get resold immediately, so we try to keep everyone's privacy in mind. Everyone gets the same price at Allen's Antique Lighting!
We are also selling our self published Antique Lighting book series in 3 Volumes: Antique Lighting of the Nineteenth Century!
