Lamps

  • I have a wide variety of lamps: table lamps, standard lamps, wall sconces and pendant fittings. These can all be seen at my showroom just off Westbourne Grove, on the fringe of Notting Hill Gate. 
  • The lamps are period, decorative and antique. Each one is an individual piece, so you will not see the same thing anywhere else.  Many are traditional styles but others may be custom made from unusual objects such as old croquet balls, tea caddies, a seltzer bottle and even the nozzle of a fire hose.
  • The collection usually includes silver candlesticks, old altar sticks, 1930’s glass, ceramic vases, Chinese porcelain, turned English wood, Edwardian brass reading lamps, classic columns, French tole and much more.  It is constantly changing and is reasonably priced.
