ANTIQUE LIGHTING RESTORATION WITH CARE AND PRECISION
Preserving the Past, Illuminating the Future
At Panache Lighting, we view antique lighting restoration as both an art and a responsibility. Every vintage fixture carries a story of place, period, and personal significance. Our restoration services are designed to honor that story, reviving fixtures with structural and aesthetic integrity while ensuring modern-day functionality and safety.
Whether you're restoring a 19th-century chandelier, a delicate Deco sconce, or a mid-century pendant, we treat each piece with reverence, skill, and attention to detail.

The Value of Authentic Restoration
Many antique fixtures suffer from improper repairs or “modernization” that strips them of their charm. At Panache, we do the opposite: we retain and highlight craftsmanship, patina, and period details while subtly upgrading the internals to meet today’s safety expectations.
We specialize in restoring pieces from:
-
Victorian and Edwardian periods
-
Art Deco and Art Nouveau
-
Mid-Century Modern

Industrial and craftsman-era lighting
We’ll help you retain the historical integrity of your fixture, even if it needs extensive work.

WHY IT MATTERS
Restoration vs. Replacement
Restoring an antique fixture is often more sustainable, personal, and valuable than buying new. Historic lighting was built to last, often by artisans using hand-forged metals, blown glass, and ornate designs rarely replicated today.
Restoration Preserves
Architectural continuity in period homes
Sentimental value in family heirlooms
Artistic detail found only in historic craftsmanship
These unique finds often require precision and care to convert properly. At Panache Lighting, we treat each piece with expertise, matching materials, preserving finishes, and making subtle changes that enhance usability without affecting aesthetics.
