FAQ
Reproduction lamps combine historic design appeal with the reliability and safety of contemporary manufacturing. They capture the elegance of previous eras while eliminating the vulnerabilities of genuine antiques—deteriorated wiring, fragility, and steep acquisition costs. Modern reproductions meet current electrical safety codes, ensuring worry-free daily use. Built with fresh materials, they resist the wear and brittleness that plague many originals, require minimal upkeep, and accommodate standard bulbs and readily available shades.
Reproduction and antique glass lamps bring authentic character and artistry to any space. Their handcrafted details and quality materials create a warm, layered light that mass-produced pieces can't match. Whether glass, brass or iron, they serve as beautiful focal points that complement diverse interior styles—from farmhouse to modern—while showcasing craftsmanship rarely found today.
Safety should always be considered whether using an oil or an electric lamp.
Electric lamps warrant periodic inspection for signs of aging—corroded sockets and degraded wire insulation are common concerns. Over time, insulation becomes brittle and prone to cracking, which exposes active electrical conductors and creates genuine hazards including electrical shock and fire risk. Regular assessment helps keep your lamp safe and functional.
Oil lamps benefit from routine maintenance to ensure reliable performance. Inspect the fuel tank for any seepage or damage. The wick should remain supple and free of heavy charring—replacement is straightforward if needed. Verify the burner mechanism functions smoothly, allowing the wick to raise and lower without resistance. Keep the tank filled with quality lamp oil for optimal operation.
