In the early 1970's we became interested in antique design and its' relationship to architectural styles selling antique furniture, lights and accessories . During this time we found our interests focusing on antique lights. We decided that the assortment of skills needed to properly place restored antique lights in renovated homes was a full-time endeavor.
We have been exclusively restoring and selling Antique Lights since 1979.
At Genuine Antique Lighting we try to inventory the lighting that was originally in the local architecture. Located in Bostons' historic South End, we have placed many antique lights in renovated Brownstones in the Back Bay and South End. We have also worked with customers who wanted to light rooms in renovated Victorians, Greek Revivals, Colonial Revivals, Arts and Crafts Bungalows and various other architectural styles.
We feel that the best customer is one that has been referred by another satisfied customer and has seen a well-placed antique light in their home. When the light works well within a home we have reached our goal. We feel our greatest strength is customer service.
In our 3000 sq. ft. showroom/workshop, we display over 250 Antique chandeliers, antique lights, sconces and lamps. Since our restoration workshop is on site, we are able to sell beautiful antique lights for surprisingly low prices.
Whether you are interested in an Inverted Dome from the early 1900's in your foyer, or a converted Gas Chandelier from the late 1800's in your diningroom, we would like to help you find what you need.
