Lighting
Antique lighting transforms the atmosphere of any room. From crystal chandeliers to bronze wall sconces and wrought-iron lanterns, each piece adds warmth and elegance that modern lamps cannot replicate. Our collection includes pieces from the 18th century through the mid-20th century.
Buying tips
Check that the wiring is updated or budget for rewiring. Chandeliers must be hung from a ceiling that can support their weight. Check that crystals or glass shades are complete, or ask about available replacements.

Frequently asked questions
- Do antique lamps need an electrician?
- In most cases, yes. Original wiring may not meet current regulations. An electrician can rewire the piece while maintaining its original appearance and ensuring safety. Some dealers on Antiga offer pieces already electrified.
- What bulbs to use in antique lamps?
- LED filament bulbs with warm tones (2200–2700 K) are ideal: they consume little energy, generate little heat, and replicate the look of incandescent bulbs. Choose the correct fitting (E14 or E27) based on the lamp holder.
- How to clean a crystal chandelier?
- Disconnect the lamp and carefully remove the crystals. Clean them with a mix of warm water and white vinegar, dry with a soft cloth. For the metal body, use a product specific to the material (bronze, brass, or gilt).
