A Family Business Since 1954
The business was established in 1954 and has remained in the same family ever since—now in its third generation. Over seventy years, we have built a deep, practical knowledge of antique chandeliers and period lighting through the daily work of cleaning, restoring and electrifying these items.
That knowledge has been passed down through the family, developed gradually and refined through long experience. We carry out our work with patience, care and respect for original materials, because we understand that the items entrusted to us are often irreplaceable—both in value and in sentiment.

A Careful, Considered Approach
Every chandelier or fitting is different. Our work always begins with careful assessment rather than assumptions—taking time to understand the item, its construction and its history before advising on the most appropriate course of action.
What We Do
Our work covers several related areas, each requiring its own knowledge and care:
Who We Work With
We work with a broad range of clients, all of whom value the proper care of antique and period lighting.
Why Clients Come to Us
Over the years, our clients have valued the same things: long experience, careful handling, and straightforward advice. We are a small business, and that allows us to give each item the individual attention it requires.
