Revival Lighting

I had a very different experience than the previous reviewers, interacting with the folks at Revival via email and telephone rather than in person (since I live on the other side of the country). I couldn’t have been happier with the results.
My 115-​year-​old row house once had gas lighting, and I now have a ceiling fixture in which someone left a few inches of old gas pipe sticking right through the middle. No modern ceiling-​mounted light fixture I could find would mount over it. After being recommended to Revival’s website by a neighbor, I found a couple of lights that looked like they would work and ended up emailing for dimensions. After I picked one out and ordered it, Dave from Revival spent quite a bit of time with me, looking at pictures and talking on the phone. Eventually he customized the fixture to thread into the old gas pipe and mount the light flush with the ceiling so that it all looks clean and new. Both the reproduction fixture he made and the vintage-​style glass are very attractive. And the thing that impressed me most was that after all of this extra effort, no one at Revival asked for a dime more than the already-​very-​reasonable prices for their reproduction light fixtures. I have recommended my neighbors use them as well and I’m very appreciative of their efforts.

I have very mixed feelings about this business. They’ve always been helpful and welcoming when I’m in the store and I’ve purchased things from them with great results. So when I decided to rehab an old fixture I took it to them. I had taken it apart and cleaned it (years of coal and oil heat smoke) except for one major piece. The deal was they were supposed to finish cleaning it, and said they’d paint rather than relplate (because it would be extremely difficult to replate) and also rewire it. They didn’t make any attempt to clean the uncleaned piece or deal with any clearly visible pitting, scratches or rust. The rewiring they did looks great but the fixture still needs work before it can be hung. Looks like I’ll be doing it myself.

Was instructed to bring a pair of brass sconces to be prepared to accept lights and globes. After the sconces were mounted it became apparent that the incorrect bases were installed for the globes that Revival Lighting had provided. When this was brought to the attention Revival, they informed us that this was no longer their problem.
I will certainly steer anyone I talk with away from this business.
