Restoration and Vintage Style Lighting and Decor

Vintage-style restoration lighting and vintage lighting are by far one of the hottest decor styles of the decade. This design style is all about reclaiming the old, weathered and cast aside and giving it brand new life. Rather than seeking to hide the patina of time and the elements, this retro style celebrates the old-fashioned honesty and wisdom inherent in old-style fixtures. These retro lighting fixtures can bring a charming and eclectic feel to any home and work especially well to complement urban, industrial and retro motifs.

At Capitol Lighting, we have the best selection of vintage lighting, ranging from reproduction industrial-style lighting fixtures using sturdy, practical and attractive materials like raw metal and steel to vintage outdoor lighting that takes cues from the electric lamps of the early 1900s. These lights will look right at home when paired with raw metals, reclaimed wood and aged finishes.

Indoor Vintage Lighting

Our website and stores are the best places to shop if you're looking for vintage interior lights. Our selection of ceiling and wall lights is overflowing with retro luminaires made by the world's best manufacturers. Kichler, Troy Lighting and Hinkley make some of the most handsome retro lamps around. We also carry wonderful brands like Savoy House, ELK Lighting and Quoizel.

For vintage-industrial lights, we highly recommend exploring vintage collections by Troy Lighting and Hinkley. These manufacturers continue to set the pace for the industrial and vintage lighting market, with exceptionally well-designed pieces that are simultaneously high-quality and era authentic. Pair any of your new interior lights with an old-fashioned light bulb for an extra pop of charm.

Outdoor Vintage Lighting

The exterior of your property is the first place most guests and visitors will see. You can add style and curb appeal outdoors as well as boost security and safety with the antique outdoor lights we carry. Take this trendy style outside your home with great-looking vintage outdoor lighting.

Complete with old-fashioned textured glass, cage-style housings and antiqued finishes, these vintage lights are perfect for complementing a range of architectural styles.

To capture the oh-so-desirable and in-style restoration theme, make sure to complement your translucent or exposed-bulb light fixtures with old-fashioned light bulbs from our huge selection. These bulbs may look old school, but they're made for the contemporary decorator. In fact, we have many vintage LED light bulbs in our assortment. These modern marvels are extremely energy-efficient and boast an extraordinarily long life. That means you will be doing good for the environment as well as your budget. Using these bulbs will reduce your utility bills while cutting maintenance and bulb replacement to a minimum.
