Every one of our vintage lights goes through a variety of restoration processes to get it from the worn and often dilapidated state it arrives in, to a stage where it is ready to light up your interior.
From stripping down and rewiring, to applying a finish and sealing the light to prevent further degradation to the surface. Here we take a look at what happens to our lights during the many hours of fine work as they are restored and refurbished in our polishing shop:
