Thank you for the wonderful conservation of my Baltic chandeliers. When you first saw them, they were fragile, dirty and depressing. They are now transformed. I appreciate your efforts to work in such a timely fashion, and that the bill was within the agreed estimate.

— Malcolm Rogers, Director Museum of Fine Arts / Boston

I’ve relied on Appleton Lighting’s expertise for many, many projects – both professionally and personally. Whether shopping for an antique fixture, looking for just the right lampshade, or in need of a repair (large and small), they’ve been reliable, reasonably priced, and a pleasure to work.

— Cheryl Katz

For the last 7 years I’ve used Appleton Lighting to rewire lamps on several major remodeling jobs.  The quality of work has been excellent and so has their service. They do what they say they will do, deliver in a timely manner and always return my phone calls.

Exacting craftsmen who possess both keen understanding and genuine appreciation of the past… a prerequisite when undertaking historic restoration.

The antique chandeliers, sconces, and exterior lights that you so artfully restored are beautifully serving the Public Library and people of Nahant. Visitors who need similar restoration often ask who worked on the fixtures, and I never hesitate to recommend Appleton to any inquirer.

— Daniel A. DeStefano, Nahant Public Library

Loukas and his staff did a fabulous job restoring three chandeliers that are now the focal point of our recently renovated Main Library. They add a marvelous elegance to our 100 year old facility. His crew is friendly and neat.

— The Public Library of Brookline

The 19th century chandeliers restored by Appleton Antique Lighting are a key element to the success of our restoration project. Long time library users, familiar with how the chandeliers looked prior to being restored, marvel at the transformation.

Whether they are recreating new lighting fixtures from old parts, restoring existing period fixtures, or finding contemporary responses to traditional lighting questions, Appleton has the technical experience and the aesthetic savvy that my clients expect. They make me look good!
