Historic light fixture repair?

[Talya Housman]

Hello all,

Has anyone gotten the electrical work on any historic lamps fixed recently? Would welcome recommendations of vendors you liked.

Thank you,

Hi, Talya, and all,

We recently worked with Scott Sweeney at Yankee Lighting Workshop (located in Wayland), and were really happy with the results. He worked on an historic sconce was able to make some old wiring operational. He is not a licensed electrician, so there are certain installation kinds of things he won't do, but lighting repairs are right in his wheelhouse. Good luck!
