Trying to find someone to restore the lighting fixtures in my parent's home.

I just sent of an email to Mark at Omega Salvage's upscale lighting and fixture store Omega Too.  I stopped into their Berkeley storefront the other day and talked to him about the possibility of restoring the lighting fixtures in my parent's San Leandro home.  I started to describe to him that the Chandeliers were made of cast metal, twisted steel and bent steel.  I tried to describe how the ends of some of the pieces had dragons at one end and Flor De Les at the other end.

He told me that he had some people in his staff at Omega Too that do restoration of fixtures like these.

I sent him some detailed up close photos.  His reaction was WOW, he had never seen anything like them before, but his restorationist had some knowledge of them.  I am still waiting to hear back from him and now her.

A while back Rejuvenation Lighting did some sconces that are a close match. These are reproductions.  Ours are ofcourse originals dating back to the 1920s.  If you haven't checked out Rejuventaion or Omega Too do so, you'll end up book marking the pages for future reference.

The Glenwood Sconces would be a good match to the ones we had on either side of the fireplace at one time.  http://www.rejuvenation.com/fixshowW724/templates/selection.phtml

The Kensington light fixture appears to be a part of the same family http://www.rejuvenation.com/fixshowC894/templates/selection.phtml

The Welborn also seems to be of the same family http://www.rejuvenation.com/fixshowC565/templates/selection.phtml
