Start With an Object That Means Something to You
Custom lighting begins with the piece you want to use. It could be an instrument with a shape you love, a lantern with decorative details, or an antique you would like to display differently. We have even turned an antique sewing machine into a lamp. Projects like these show how an everyday or collected object can take on another purpose.
The object guides the conversation. Its material, size, shape, and condition affect what’s possible. Please tell us what you like about it and how you picture the finished lamp in your home. A piece chosen for a reading corner may call for a different look from one intended as a decorative accent. We can discuss your idea before you decide how to move forward.
Explore a Custom Lamp Design
Our custom work gives you an alternative to choosing a finished lamp from a standard collection. Instead, the design can begin with an object that has a story or a look you have not found elsewhere. Contact us about the piece you have in mind and ask what information would help us consider the project.
Not every object will suit the same approach, and the work depends on the individual piece. We welcome unusual ideas and can discuss whether your object offers a starting point. Share any features you want to keep visible, along with the purpose you want the light to serve.
Find the Component Your Existing Lamp Needs
Parts shopping can be frustrating when a replacement looks right in a picture but does not fit your fixture. An older lamp may also have hardware that differs from common modern pieces. We carry quality lamp parts and everyday hardware, giving you options for a missing, worn, or damaged component.
Describe the part’s purpose and the fixture it belongs to. Tell us whether you are replacing an existing piece or completing a lamp with something missing. Ask what details or components would be useful to bring to the shop. Talking through the lamp can help narrow your search.
Our parts selection includes:
- Everyday lamp parts and hardware
- Rare and obscure lighting components
- Antique and period-appropriate pieces
- Oil lamp burners and wicks
- Other oil lamp replacement parts
Rare Parts for Antique and Vintage Lighting
A replacement component should match the lamp it joins. Antique and vintage lighting can have fittings, shapes, and details that reflect a particular period. A common modern part may not provide the fit or appearance you want. We stock rare antique components and period-appropriate pieces that are hard to find in regular stores or online.
These parts give you options for maintaining an older fixture’s character. Availability varies by component, so contact us with your specific request. Our lighting experience since 1997 helps us work with unusual pieces and the questions that come with them.
Burners, Wicks, and Oil Lamp Supplies
Oil lamps have their own parts needs. We carry burners, wicks, and other components for customers maintaining or restoring these lights. An older oil or kerosene lamp may need a missing part replaced or a component suited to its particular design.
Start by telling us what type of lamp you have and what you need. Fit matters, especially when comparing parts from different lamps. Ask about available options before selecting a replacement. A fixture that needs further attention may also benefit from our lamp repair and restoration service.
Consider Custom Fabrication for an Unavailable Part
Sometimes the search for a replacement ends without a suitable match. A part may be unavailable, or the options you find may not fit the fixture. In certain cases, we can fabricate a custom lamp part.
This work depends on the component and its purpose. Share the existing part, when available, and explain what the replacement needs to do. We can discuss whether fabrication offers a possible solution for your project.
