I have known these people for years. If you are in Boston, check out their awesome lighting.
We have worked with Tom Powers, Genuine Antique Lighting, several times to find the perfect antique lights for a number of areas in our almost 120 year old house. Tom has deep knowledge about period lighting, and will bring lights to the home for your inspection so you can see what they look like in the space youre contemplating for installation. Tom is great to work with, and the fixtures we have purchased from him contribute in a major way to the beauty and historical period of our house. Highest recommendation!
Highly recommend!! Wonderful range of quality lighting. Tom is a stand-up guy who will be sure you get what you want for your lighting. Weve been customers for over 25 years and we cant say enough about Genuine Antique Lighting! You wont be disappointed.
Tom was a delight to work with. He helped to guide me toward the appropriate lighting for the dimensions of my rooms and the drop I would need. He also emailed me pictures of the kinds of lighting I was looking for. Ordering was a breeze. I couldnt be happier.
Tom is very knowledgeable and passionate about antique lighting.. Over the years, we have been buying our antique lighting from him for our home renovations . Our guests marvel about the uniqueness of the light fixtures he had sold us.. Toms professionalism in the light business is outstanding in so many ways.
I have had the pleasure of working with Tom for over 25 years because he is the consummate professional. He is very willing to share his deep knowledge of antique lighting and assist in finding the optimal fixture for any project. In two cases where I couldnt find the exact fixtures I envisioned in a space, Tom worked with me to create beautiful pieces from multiple lights. Toms ethics and integrity are the highest anyone will find.
A large range of styles, This is where you will find a one of a kind piece.Also does excellent restoration of fixtures. Worth the visit
I love Genuine Antique Lighting. I have bought two beautiful lights form Tom and a really great price. He is wonderful to work with and will help you find what you are looking for. He has a great collection! I highly recommend Genuine Antique Lighting.
My historic landmark Victorian home now has beautiful 19th century light fixtures in all the main rooms thanks to Tom of Genuine Antique Lighting. His selection is great of true antique lighting that has been carefully restored. The quality of product received always exceeded my expectation. The packaging for shipment of these fragile items was almost overkill so that nothing was ever damaged in transit. I wholeheartedly recommend buying from Genuine Antique Lighting.
Tom Powers is the go to guy for all kinds of vintage light fixtures! We came across Tom and his shop via Facebook and decide to take a trip Genuine Antique Light. Boy were we impressed with his shop/museum! It’s a pleasure to know artisans like him exist in the 21st century. He’s friendly, personable, knowledgeable and an all around great guy! Thanks so much for our wonderful 1870s electrified chandelier and courtyard light. We’ve received countless compliments over the past few months, all on your account. We’ll be back soon!
I have know Tom for over 25 years. When I bought my first home in the South End of Boston, Tom helped my choose the most appropriate gas/electric chandelier for my dining room. I love that fixture to the day I sold the property, at which time, I consigned it to Tom for resale. It sold within months!!In addition, I have consulted Tom on other fixtures over the years and have had him re wire and restore fixtures. He knowledgable of the history and value of antique lighting makes him master at his craft.
We could not be more pleased with the quality of the lamp we purchased. It was expertly packaged and arrived in excellent condition. The folks at Genuine Antique Lighting were able to make a couple of modifications to the lamp based on our needs. It looks fantastic!
I worked with Tom to select pendant lights for our kitchen. He is very nice man with a passion for antique lighting and customer service. He gave us very valuable suggestions. He has a great selection of light fixtures. I highly recommend him.
Tom sourced a number of appropriate, antique lighting fixtures for my house.The lights were beautiful, and I feel like I got good value for the prices paid.He visited the house, we discussed the various spots, and he was able to help me make good selections based on his hands on involvement.Hes a great find, and its a fun place to shop!
Beautiful lights just as described. Arrived on time. Tom was great to work with and helped me find the perfect lights for our 1911 kitchen renovation! Couldnt be happier!
Excellent all round! Not only has Tom got an overwhelmingly unique and beautiful selection but he is also a great resource for historical knowledge and understands the clients budget, preferences and project. He has the capacity to brainstorm and create beautiful repurposed fixtures quickly (next day) and within financial constraints. As a designer I find Tom a pleasure to work with. I look forward to many, many, more collaborations.
Light Power is a fantastic place to purchase period or unusual lighting for your home or office. Tom the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful too. It is hidden gem in Boston . They can also rewrite your lighting too
I live in an historic neighborhood so Antique Lighting was perfect. My Mom and I truly enjoyed speaking with the owner, who knows his stuff. Pricing is fair and selection is always changing. I highly recommend Genuine Antique Lighting!
Simply the best source for antique lighting anywhere! The website is comprehensive and easy to search and Tom has a great eye. Weve been working with him for over a decade to restore our victorian and hes brought us some amazing fixtures! We have always been pleased with his quality, service, and attention to detail.
Tom is knowledgeable, easy to work with, very patient and he has an artists eye for beautiful things. The selection in his store is amazing. If you have a Victorian house and want appropriate light fixtures, Genuine Antique Lighting is a must.
We used Genuine Antique Lighting for many lamps in our house on Cape Cod. The quality of the lamps is outstanding. Tom even did a custom wiring scheme so we could control individual groups of bulbs in a chandelier. With three major pieces in our house, we see a special chandelier when we come in, when were in the kitchen, and right above the dining room table. Weve had them for nine years now, and we love them!
The best period fixtures in the city, with the capability to adjust/ duplicate and restore. They have sold our restaurant group several one of a kind pieces over the decades
Great experience. Tom is helpful, professional and friendly! Highly recommend.
Purchased a great chandelier via their web sight. It was exactly what it looked like in the pictures and was shipped in perfect condition
Very pleased with my transaction with G.A.L. . Sold a lovely but wanting fixture for a fair price and all went well. 100% pleased!
I had a wonderful experience dealing with Antigue Lighting. I was on a specific search and the owner was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in finding me sconces to go with a specific period and restoring them to perfection.
