Restoring and Reusing Vintage 1950s Light Fixtures

We’re lucky to have a bunch of original light fixtures from the 1950s still in our home. I’ve always loved these fixtures, so we will be reusing them in the renovated house.

The fixtures are currently undergoing a complete restoration. I cleaned the glass, polished the wood, and painted the metal base of each light.

Mike at Patti Brothers Lighting, an expert vintage light repair craftsman, is re-wiring the fixtures. Each will get new wires and converted to be able to accept LED bulbs.

I’ll post again when they are re-installed.

    They are now all fully restored and several are already hanging in the new part of the house. They look terrific.
