Scenes from 2015
The International Light Show and Sale is the largest
display of antique lighting in the world - featuring lighting products manufactured from 1870 to 1940 (and others).
This year over 100* tables will be displaying
Victorian hanging lamps, student lamps, GWTW lamps,
table lamps, wall lamps, bracket lamps--lamps of all kinds including
the world famous Aladdin kerosene and electric lamps! Plus shades
and parts galore! Several antique lighting clubs will be present as well as
Dealers from U.S., Canada, Australia and England. Come See, Join, Learn, Enjoy

*This is an early estimate. In recent years there has been an excess of this estimate at the show.

Spectacular,
rare and beautiful are the words that describe this unique and unusual
show featuring antique lighting. Upon entering the doors t2o see
the fantastic display of lights and color, collectors marvel at
the beauty and workmanship of the lamps that were essential to illuminate
our homes long ago. While most can only imagine homes lit by the
warm glow of kerosene, lamp collectors are dedicated to use and
preserve these nostalgic memories.
There
will be antique lamps of all kinds for sale, including rare early
and primitive lighting, prized colored pattern oil lamps, Gone-With-The-Wind,
art glass lamps, opalescent lamps, miniature lamps, student lamps,
finger lamps, hanging fixtures, floor lamps, as well as the collectible
early electric lamps. Lamp shades and parts for restoring old lamps
will also be available. Lamps made from the 1860's to the 1930's may
seem plentiful in dealer's booths but where else will you find them?
Several
lamp collecting clubs will have educational booths in the show to
answer questions about their specialty in lighting and lamp restoration:
World-known
top quality antique dealers, specializing in lamps and lighting,
from the United States, Canada and England offer an immense variety
of antique lighting and memorabilia.
