History
Established in 1998.
Tom Kanellopoulos began restoring lighting in 1994, apprenticing under a master restorer for 4 years before taking over his business in 1998 when he retired. Tom’s passion & dedication to the art of lighting restoration has grown to include him becoming a master in metal patination, as well as gold, nickel, silver/chrome plating, rewiring, metal repairs/re-finishing, and customizing lighting fixtures to your specifications.
Tom’s hard work, study and expansion of services offered grew his business beyond expectation and he partnered with his brother Gus Kanellopoulos, forming, (still open) Lighting Arts Studio in NYC. Together Tom & Gus became the premier Antique Lighting Restorers in NYC. They worked together until 2020, when fast forward to today and the business has grown all the way down the East Coast to Savannah, GA.
Some of our clients are: Maison Gerard, Harry Winston, Herve Van der Straeten, Ayala Serfaty, Jean Perzel, Paul Donzella, Jean Karajan and Achille Salvagni.
