Services for professionals and private individuals

The firm serves the film and television industry, handles trade accounts and offers repairs. It also advises customers who need to identify a compatible shade or part: product listings state that, if unsure about the fit, photographs and measurements can be sent to receive help from the team.

The catalogue includes original period glass shades, not modern reproductions, intended for restoration. Notable examples include an original Tiffany style ceiling shade measuring 245 mm in diameter and 180 mm high with a 10 mm fitter hole; a hurricane shade with a frilled top edge measuring 160 mm high with a 45 mm fitter hole; a chandelier shade in frosted glass measuring 115 mm high, 165 mm in diameter with a 40 mm fitter hole; and a crystal cut acorn glass shade measuring 150 mm high, 110 mm in diameter with an 80 mm fitter neck.

The company warns that, as these are original period pieces, they may show minor marks, surface imperfections, signs of wear or minor damage consistent with their age. The delivery time stated on the site for these items is approximately 3 to 5 working days.
