Antique Chic

For something more opulent and classical, why not try an antique light fitting? Edwardian and Victorian lights cost from £150 at Michael Connell Antiques in Francis Street, where you can find a stunning collection of lamps. And if the sky is the limit budget-wise, the most expensive light in the shop is a beautifully ornate early Victorian converted brass gas light with crystal bowl which costs £2,500. Michael Connell Antiques also has a range of Victorian brass and copper lanterns with leaded glass insets.
