W Sitch

We are a family business, established in 1776, specialising in the restoration of antique lighting. Based in the heart of London's Soho, our old workshop on Berwick Street is home to a varied range of antique lighting, in an extensive selection of materials and styles. While the goods on display are but a fraction of our fine collection, our current stock, manufacturing, and range of reproductions further enhance our offerings. We provide full restoration, rewiring, and repair services, as well as an exceptional polishing service for metals, including silver and bronze plating.
