Appleton Antique Lighting

Appleton Antique Lighting overflows with exceptionally beautiful chandeliers, sconces and lamps at supremely fair prices. Repair service, and service in general, is outstanding. A treasure!

I can’t say that I know a whole lot about lamps. My bedside lamp had been bugging me for the last ten years or so — I kept having to wiggle the switch to get it to work, and sometimes the light would go out while I was reading, it would go out and I’d have to get up and wiggle the switch again — one of those really annoying little things.
Finally it dawned on me that there’s people out there who fix these things — I took it to Appleton, and the rest is history. They are incredibly nice there, and while they said it would take a few days to fix, it turned out they were able to sneak it in between larger projects and the lamp got repaired by the next day. Not bad!
Basically, I would say that they were very knowledgeable, extremely welcoming and affable people with excellent customer service, and as far as I can tell, they charged a reasonable price. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again as they certainly have earned a repeat customer (just hoping that I won’t have any more broken lamps, haha).

We found this Chinese lantern, a 19^th century spherical cage with a translucent skin of what looks like newspaper. I’d heard Appleton was mainly for interior designers and very high end, but went there anyway because I knew just looking at the lantern that electrifying it into a chandelier would be a complex job. Turns out it wasn’t that much money for what they did and they did a job that’s held up beautifully for the past five years. Now I’m going back with a re-​fix job on a French floor lamp that was done somewhere else, but the repair only held up for a month before the replacement on off switch failed miserably.

I have a beloved olde family heirloom lamp (the kind that your relatives try to weasel out of you before you’re mature enough to realize how lovely it is). Two weeks ago, to my utter despair, the little bugger shocked me; intervention was required.
Enter Appleton Antique Lighting. It’s a bit small, and Route 9 is a bit crazy, so keep your eyes peeled.
The gent going through bills off to the side was a bit brusque, but the lady at the register was very sweet. They quoted an *extremely* reasonable price for the fix. They said it might take two weeks, but they got it done in one. And my lamp is back to its healthy, non-​shocking ways.
Go there. And bring your poor, your tired, your huddled lamps, yearning to be fixed.
