How do I wire an antique lamp safely?

Older lamps often require rewiring to meet modern electrical standards before domestic use. Qualified electricians can replace perished internal cords while retaining original metal components and holders.

What is the difference between bronze and spelter?

Bronze is a heavy copper and tin alloy that accepts detailed chasing and holds deep patination. Spelter is a softer zinc alloy that feels lighter and requires careful handling to avoid breakage.

How do I clean a bronze lamp?

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dirt accumulation within recessed casting details. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical polishes that strip away the aged patination and surface colour.

Are these lamps converted from candlesticks?

Many older lighting pieces began life as oil lamps, candlesticks or decorative vases before receiving electrical fittings. Conversions allow historical metalwork to serve modern domestic functions without losing its original aesthetic character.
