Cynthia & Chris Allen Allen’s Antique Lighting

For over 35 years, Cynthia and Chris Allen have been helping folks do just that. We offer one of the finest collections of antique lighting for sale in the world today. We are unsurpassed in the breadth and quality of our selection, our customer service, and our integrity. From functional to whimsical, our lighting will enhance any setting and will always be a wise investment.

All of our lights are antique, both the metal and the glass, and are sold fully restored to your specifications. Each light receives museum-quality restoration, whether its maintaining an original patina or recreating a period finish. We believe every light we sell should look as if it was always cared for, rather than recently restored.

In my opinion, Allen’s antique lighting is one of the premiere resources for historic lighting in the country. Their items are thoroughly researched and carefully conserved.  The very rare early gas fixture we purchased from them retains its original finish and the Allen’s even provided the period correct burners. They are a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them.

“As the owner of a 14,500 sq. ft. Historic Victorian Home I expect nothing but the best in that residence.  I have done repeated business with Allen's Antique Lighting of Harvard, MA over the last several years.  I find them to be extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.  Their attention to detail is impeccable.  And their inventory and selection are better than any other place I have visited, and I have visited them all.  If you are looking for the best in antique lighting, you have to talk with Chris and Cindy."

Our experiences with Allen’s Antique Lighting have been ideal in every respect.  The inventory initially seems overwhelming, both in terms of scope and quality, but Cindy quickly develops an understanding of her clients’ taste and provides a manageable range of excellent options suitable for the client’s stated budget, accompanied by background information (such as manufacturer (if known) , date and place of origin) on each piece for which the client expresses interest.  We appreciate that Cindy provides this extremely attentive level of service, and that she and Chris maintain their meticulous standards for restoration, even for clients who are looking at the lower end of the price range.  The lighting that we have purchased from Cindy and Chris is beautiful, warm, charming and fits perfectly with the other elements in our house.  We couldn’t be more pleased.
