How can I tell a genuine antique light fixture from a later reproduction?

Look closely at the casting and chasing: authentic period pieces show slight hand-worked irregularities, naturally uneven patina and screws with inconsistent thread pitch. A reproduction tends to have mechanically uniform surfaces. When in doubt, consult a professional antique dealer who specialises in lighting.

What should I expect to pay for antique lighting from a dealer?

Prices vary widely by style, period and condition. A 19th-century bronze wall sconce or table lamp typically ranges from €200 to €800, a period cut-crystal chandelier from €1,000 to €5,000, and signed pieces by Gallé, Daum or Tiffany can command considerably more.

Do antique light fixtures need to be rewired before use?

Almost always, yes. Original wiring rarely meets modern electrical safety standards. Factor in the cost of rewiring by a qualified electrician before you install any period fixture. The work is usually straightforward and the cost modest relative to the value of the piece.

How should I care for a gilt bronze chandelier or wall sconce?

Avoid abrasive cleaners that strip the gilding. A soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient for routine dusting. Crystal drops can be gently cleaned with warm water and a little white vinegar to restore their sparkle. Entrust any restoration of the gilding itself to a specialist bronze conservator.

Can antique chandeliers be shipped safely over long distances?

Yes, with proper professional packing: arms and crystal drops should be dismantled and each fragile element individually cushioned. Experienced antique dealers are well versed in shipping delicate lighting and can recommend specialist art-transport carriers for international deliveries.
