@antiquelights.....I have four old lights that had hung in a very old movie theater. Later they hung in the church where I met my wife, married her there and where my children were born and dedicated. When it was time to replace them with modern lighting, they were given to me. They are huge and very deco. I've never seen any like them. It's strange how something like light fixtures can have a sentimental value. Anyway, have fun with your buisness.
That's a very impressive collection of fixtures, though I think it's kind of a shame that people always want the old gas lamps electrified, since really they're not much different from electric lighting when you compare the pros and cons of each. To be honest with you, if I were to pay $5000 for a light fixture, I'd want a gas one.
Still a good video though, may visit this store in the future.
@TuxedoRonny I hear ya there. I have a couple of gas and electric sconces that still work. It was at the time period when electricity was relatively new and unreliable so they created electric (mostly Art Deco) lights with gas jets. It's pretty cool. There still a lot of houses in my town that have all the old gas jets throughout them even in the basement, and some of them still working.
We do not do much with Deco but thank you for emailing us. Best to contact us through our Website.

if i had the money, i would pay for a gas fixture. they would probably be worth it. the ones from the 1800s are very nice.
