Lighting for a Boutique Hotel: How Antique Lamps Create an Experience

Lobby and reception

First impressions are made at the entrance. A brass chandelier in the lobby and a table lamp on the reception desk, such as a green-shaded banker's lamp or a lamp with a hand-painted glass shade, tell guests at once what kind of place they are in.

Rooms and corridors: pairs of wall sconces

In guest rooms, a pair of wall sconces on either side of the bed is practical and attractive. In corridors, a row of sconces gives soft light and leads the way to the room. The shop has pairs of brass and bronze sconces with glass shades; if you need more than a pair, ask us how many units we have of each model.

Bar, restaurant and dining room

Pendants in amber glass, ribbed glass or lantern shapes, hung in a row over the bar, create warm, intimate light. Different models in the same tone can be combined for an eclectic look that still feels planned.

Planning a project

• Quantities: antique pieces usually come singly or in pairs. For many rooms, similar models can be combined in a matching finish.
• Electrics and safety: we rewire and fit for LED bulbs, so the lamps are ready for everyday hotel use.
• Restoration: if the property already has old lamps, they can be restored instead of replaced. See chandelier and lamp restoration.
• Support: we work with designers and architects, see designers and architectural planning.
