A New Angle on Lighting

"Light is not so much something that reveals, as it is itself the revelation."
~ James Turrell

Hello again folks, we often say it is our specialty, even though the business has grown to encompass so much more now, I'm speaking about antique lighting of course. We have a good selection of it here at The Old House.

Not only do we have lovely old lighting in brass and glass with wonderful patinas and the like but we have an amazing vendor upstairs named Pauline who does absolutely stunning work with all things lit. She Revamps old chandeliers giving them unique style and colour.

Creates and paints wonderful lamp shades.

It's the use of texture and colour that I like most about her work I think.

The lamp shades have wonderful rough textures with vibrant colours while the chandeliers have nice smooth textures and consistent solid colours that pop and make the fixtures stand out.

She doesn't stick solely too the electrical either she has a few nice candle holders that she has constructed.

Not only does Pauline have some wonderful stuff but there are of course other vendors who have some interesting pieces.

On the main floor in our stock we have a ton of everything lighting related from sconces...

to shades, spare crystals and parts...

Lastly I'm just going to finish off with some photos of our lights that I took. I love the lighting so I have snapped many a photo of the lights. Some are artsy some are utilitarian. Either way take a scroll through and enjoy.

Just a few of our school house shades and fixtures.

We have so much lighting I couldn't even begin to showcase it all here but it gives a taste. If you are looking for a new fixture or replacement part or shade come down and take a look at what we have.
