A Tradition of Light Since the 1970s
Our story began in the 1970s with our father, Reuven Sinai, who immigrated from Iran and founded a business specializing in antiques and chandeliers. Out of a love for pieces with history, beauty and unique character, the business grew over the years. In 1987 his sons — Peri, Meir and Ben-Hur — joined him, and it has been a family business ever since, where the knowledge, experience and love of the craft pass from generation to generation.
A Love for Chandeliers with Character
Over the years we developed a special expertise in the world of vintage and antique chandeliers. We believe every chandelier has a story, and every piece has its own character. In our restoration work, we take care to preserve the original beauty and character of each chandelier as much as possible, paying attention to the small details that make it unique. We also fit and arrange the electrical wiring in old chandeliers and lamps to modern standards, so these special pieces can keep shining today.
Where the Past Meets Contemporary Design
We collaborate with interior designers and architects, guiding them in choosing chandeliers and light fixtures that suit the character of the space and the design vision of each project. We especially love the meeting point between past and present — taking a chandelier with history, preserving its beauty, and giving it new life in a contemporary space.
A Family Business. A Love Passed Down.
What began in the 1970s with our father, Reuven Sinai, continues today as a family business built on tradition, experience, craftsmanship and a genuine love for the world of antiques and chandeliers. For us, a chandelier is far more than a light fixture. It is a creation, a memory, a story — and the light that carries the story forward to the next generation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an antique and a restored chandelier?
A genuine antique chandelier is sold as-is, with the natural signs of age and patina it carries. A restored piece is an antique fixture we've cleaned, rewired and completed missing parts on, so it's safe and ready for everyday use while keeping its original character.
How much does restoring an antique chandelier or lamp cost?
The price depends on the item's condition, the scope of work needed (rewiring, cleaning, sourcing missing parts) and part availability. The fastest way to get an estimate is to send us a photo on WhatsApp.
How can you tell if a chandelier is genuinely antique?
Signs of a genuine antique include natural patina that's hard to fake quickly, hand-cut glass that isn't perfectly uniform, and metal components (brass, bronze) that feel heavier and more solid than modern reproductions. We inspect every piece before it goes into our stock.
Can I order a custom piece for a design project?
Yes — we work with architects and interior designers to source and size antique light fixtures for a project's style and budget, including adjusting chain length, number of arms, or metal finish.
