Custom Lighting Restoration

For more than 30 years, Remains Lighting Company has been involved in the diligent restoration and preservation of over 10,000 unique historic lighting fixtures, work that continues to this day. We are also experts in replicating historic lighting and creating new fixtures inspired by historic precedent, ensuring that each piece maintains its aesthetic and architectural integrity.

Our restoration gallery showcases antique chandeliers, sconces, lamps, and exterior lighting in crystal, bronze, wood, and other distinctive materials, with gilded, plated, and patinated finishes renewed thoughtfully to honor the original design. Fixtures are carefully rewired, restored, and updated to meet modern safety and performance standards, with UL, CE, and IP certifications for gas, incandescent, or LED sources.

From intricate carved-wood and antler chandeliers to polychrome wall sconces and delicate floral torchieres, each restoration project reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, historical accuracy, and the enduring beauty of fine lighting. Every restored fixture is meticulously handled in our Brooklyn workshop, where skilled artisans combine technical precision with an eye for detail, bringing historic lighting to life for modern interiors and collections.
