Old Lamps & Things

My interest in vintage lamps comes from watching many films from the early days of Hollywood and British filmmaking. The lighting in these early films was so dramatic in black and white which for me made them so enjoyable to watch. Many of the scenes usually included beautiful table lamps right in the center of the set. Over the years I began a small collection of these lamps from antique stores in my travels. Recently I made a wonderful discovery in Old Lamps & Things. I was a little uncertain about ordering a lamp online without being able to see it up close in person. Cheryl put me at ease with the process and was such a pleasure to work with. After much deliberation I finally (with Cheryl's help) made a decision on the one that would be a good fit in my home. It arrived in perfect condition and I was so impressed with the professional packaging. The lamp is truly magnificent and even more beautiful than I was expecting! Great customer service, professional, and knowledgeable about their products would be the best way I can describe my experience with Old Lamps & Things.

I bought 2 old gas light pendants and I love them so much. The customer service was great! I had been searching for the perfect lights for my client’s home and finally found them here. They shipped immediately and arrived safely. They are beautiful. I will be doing more shopping here in the future for myself and my clients. I highly recommend Old Lamps and Things!

I recently stumbled on Old Lamps and Things while looking for anique lights for my old home, and I am so happy I did. I contacted Cheryl to get details on two beautiful lamps I saw on the website. Cheryl responded quickly with all the useful information I needed to make my purchasing decision. Additionally, she arranged to have the two floor lamps packed and shipped across the country. The lamps arrived in perfect condition. We are incredibly happy with the quality of the rewired lamps and friendly, expert service. Despite living on opposite sides of the continent, we will continue to reach out to Cheryl at Old Lamps and Things for our restoration lighting needs.

I had the best experience purchasing from Old Lamps & Things. The lamp base was a beautiful solid piece and is going to look lovely once rewired and with a lamp shade. It truly is a unique piece. Cheryl went out of her way to find me the fastest, most economic shipping method to Canada. I received my lamp base quickly and it was extremely well packed. I will definitely be checking back to see what new (old) lamp bases have been added to their website and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from them again. Thank you for the superior service!

I purchased a lamp (circa 1920's) from this business and I couldn't be happier! Cheryl was awesome to work with and kept me posted on everything from pricing, shipping info, shipping and anything else that I had a question on. The company that she deals with to pack and ship the items did a fantastic job and the lamp was firmly secured in a heavy cardboard container with bubble wrap and "peanuts". Once I had it unpacked there was no damage and it was exactly what I had expected, actually better than I had expected! I couldn't be more pleased with the the lamp and the whole experience to purchase it and get it to my home. A huge thumbs up to Cheryl and her business "Old Lamps and Things". I will definitely be a return customer!!

Cheryl went out of her way to find exactly the parts I needed for my lamp and then shipped them to me under a tight deadline. My order was tiny, but Cheryl treated it like it was of the utmost importance. I'd give 10 stars if I could! Superb customer service!

Cheryl is such a sweet soul and doing business with her is a very positive experience. The kind of care and solicitous customer service she provides is too rare these days. Her inventory is THE BEST you'll find anywhere. Simply incomparable. Top-of-the-line quality and often quite unique and rare. We had an unfortunate issue with shipping and Cheryl handled ALL with utmost integrity, willingness, and cheerfulness. I look forward to purchasing from Old Lamps and Things again!

What a lovely collection to be found here. Cheryl and Ron are kind, friendly folks who really care about what they do. I also really appreciated the proactive communication before I purchased my lamp and as we were planning the pickup. Well worth the drive. Would visit again!

Ron and Cheryl of Old Lamps & Things combine the knowledge and know-how to bring your "old lamps & things" back to life with exceptional attention to detail and the willingness to go the extra mile in order to exceed your expectations. I can not recommend Old Lamps & Things highly enough! From now on, I will be taking all of my electrical repair and lamp refitting needs to Ron and Cheryl confident that the results will be simply superb!

I bought a beautiful torchiere lamp for my wife. Cheryl was terrific in providing me information, shipping the lamp cross-country, and keeping tabs on the shipment as we had to deal with weather delays. I highly recommend these folks for the quality of their products and outstanding service.

Cheryl and Ron are fabulous! I needed to have an antique lamp repaired and also needed to replace its smashed glass lampshade. The repair work that was done to the lamp base is impeccable and the replacement shade Cheryl hunted down as its replacement is an exact replica. Everything in life should be as easy and as enjoyable as this seamless transaction. I highly recommend Old Lamps and Things!

Ron and Cheryl of Old Lamps and Things are the best! We own over a dozen lamps that we either purchased from them or that they have rewired or repaired for us. Old Lamps and Things always has a great selection of vintage and antique lighting and reasonable prices. Ron and Cheryl are wonderful to work with; they are honest, friendly, and knowledgable. When we need a special piece for our historic home, we can always count on Ron and Cheryl. We frequently recommend Old Lamps and Things to friends and we will continue to use them for any of our antique lighting needs.

Buying old lamps and things online can be scary. Will it arrive broken? Is the item you want to purchase exactly the descibed thing and do the photo's justify? Most importantly, are the people you're buying from honest and forthright? Well folks, Cheryl is wonderful to do business with and their stuff is authentic and restored to absolute amazement. My antique pendant is simply stunning! Highly recommended and would purchase from them again. Great communication throughout and they know how to deliver the Goods! Thank You Old Lamps & Things!

Cheryl and Ron are exactly the reason I prefer to deal with a small business over a big box store. I came to them with a broken desk lamp.The switch I needed had been discontinued.Ron found a solution using alternate pieces from his parts bin. Since the lamp wasn't worth much, Ron didn't think it would be worth the money for him to fix it. But if I wanted, he could sell me the parts and show me how to fix it myself, saving me quite a bit of money. Ron sat down with me, and walked me step by step through the process, a one on one tutorial on how to rewire a lamp.
So now I have my lamp back! And it's working great! I should also mention that Ron and I are both "Gear Heads", (much to my wife's chagrin), so the conversation kept drifting from lamps to drag racing!
I truly enjoyed this experience. In fact, I may have to "accidentally" knock over one of my wife's lamps. Just to have an excuse to go back! (We'll keep that between us though).

Cheryl and Ron are awesome people. They were able to revive some of my old lamps beyond my expectations. Ron has the technical expertise to be able to restore or convert anything and Cheryl has a great design eye and finds the perfect shades and finials to finish the look. Anyone who appreciates service, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and one-of-a-kind pieces should make a point of visiting their place.

I can't say enough about the team at Old Lamps & Things. Although the term is overused, working with them has been awesome. I think enough of them to send my lamps to them for rewiring and repair from Wisconsin. One lamp they repaired is a soft metal and was cracked with age. They were able to fill in the crack. I can't even see where it was. They are prompt, considerate and their work if first class. Customer service is wonderful. I've texted Cheryl on weekends and she's replied the same day. Most recently, I asked a question about a crooked table lamp. Cheryl consulted with Ron and told me how to fix it on my own. I am so happy to have found them and would recommend them to anyone.

I took my 85 year old lamp to Ron & Cheryl, not knowing if it was worth the effort and expense to save it. They both assured me that it was, and it is beautiful! Even better than the lamp though, was my experience with these two personable, knowledgeable and engaging people. The quality of Ron's workmanship is both extraordinary and impeccable, but the personal experience in dealing with them was even more gratifying. Talk to them, and see how a small business should be run. Courteous, professional, and prompt, they deserve five stars across the board, and every success that comes their way.

Cheryl had just the right lamp for my project in my 1881 Queen Anne. Lovely antique, two-arm fixture, rewired and ready to hang...all at a very reasonable price (even the shipping -- found my light fixture online, easy to purchase & arrange shipping).

Cheryl and Ron have an amazing collection of vintage lighting. My wife and I were very fortunate to have discovered Old Lamps and Things. We live in a home built in 1912 and have purchased many sconces and ceiling lights that have helped us maintain the home in a historically correct fashion. The lighting we found is unique, perfectly updated and restored. It really adds the historical touch we were hoping to keep.

We have my husband's mother floor stand lamp that has three bulb around the stand and a globe in the top middle. The globe got broke and needed to be replaced and, "1" screw that holds the globe in place was missing.
In a matter of a few days I received my globe and a screw - both vintage. I am extremely happy and satisfied. Cheryl gave old fashioned good customer service too! I highly recommend Old Lamps & Things to everyone.
