Old Lights On: Restored Lighting

DECEMBER 10, 2009

Antique lamps give city homes a classic glow.

You can see them in your favorite restaurants, bistros and classic pubs: Restored or re-created light fixtures often adorn modern walls, giving the gathering spots a rustic ambience. That same old-time glow looks great over a kitchen island or in the hallway of a new apartment or condo.

Old Lights On of Farmington, CT specializes in sourcing antique lighting as well as bringing the original beauty back to classic pieces from a pair of hanging bell jar lamps in an Upper West side foyer to—most recently—providing lamps and chandeliers for the restoration of a Victorian home in Ditmas Park, the 12-year-old company has outfitted dozens of city residences. In the words of owner Stanley Peck, “Good lighting is like jewelry for the home.”

Locally, Chameleon Fine Lighting offers a full range of traditional lighting options from opulent multi-tiered chandeliers to demure cut-crystal wall sconces to help transform that second bath into a powder room and the den into a parlor.
