The Limehouse Lamp Company Ltd

Founded in 1971 The Limehouse Lamp Company started by faithfully restoring and replicating
original antique lighting from our Victorian Pub premises, in London’s East End area of Limehouse.
With St Catherine’s Dock on our doorstep, the modern Docklands of today was non-existent. No
high rise office buildings, just the historic London, dating back centuries and most of Victorian
London’s architecture and docks still in existence. From these humble beginnings recreating
Victorian carriage lamps, our range of products grew to the large collection of indoor and outdoor
lighting we produce today.

All our products are hand made with the majority of work done in our workshops at our Sussex
based premises. Every item is built and hand finished by our craftsmen, who have over 100 years of
combined experience making traditional lighting. Working in only solid brass and copper, each item
is soldered by hand using traditional methods. Heavy parts are all cast in sand and finished by hand
giving our lights the artisan quality of original pieces, with no two items being exactly the same.
A large number of our range of products are reproduced from original antiques and our hand
finishing processes and traditional manufacturing methods give our lights a unique quality that
makes each item feel original.
Our collections combine interior and exterior lighting covering periods of over 200 years from the
early 1700’s to the 1930’s offering designs of grandeur and style. Our historic ranges of Industrial and
Nautical Lighting offer replica lighting used throughout Victorian and Edwardian daily life. From the
railways, ships and even taverns of emerging industrial England and America.
Our lighting is sold throughout the world and has been used in stately homes, castles, public houses,
museums, films and even in the mystical world of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. We have lights
to suit almost any period property and are accredited to wire for any country on the globe.
