G & P Cohn

G & P Cohn is a long-established specialist in the cleaning, repair, restoration, electrification and sale of fine chandeliers and decorative lighting. Founded in 1954, we have over 70 years of experience working with chandeliers, wall lights, lanterns and candelabra of all styles and periods. Our reputation is built on traditional craftsmanship, technical expertise and a genuine respect for historic lighting.

Over the decades, we have undertaken an extensive range of restoration projects, from delicate repairs to complete overhauls. Our work includes repairing broken glass arms, replacing missing Georgian drops, reshaping and fabricating brass components, and carefully restoring original fittings wherever possible. Whether a chandelier requires minor attention or full restoration, we tailor our approach to suit the condition, age and character of each piece, ensuring exceptional results.

We offer both on-site and workshop-based restoration services. After a detailed assessment, we advise on the most appropriate solution. Minor repairs can often be carried out on site, while more complex work involves the careful dismantling, safe transport and full restoration of the chandelier in our workshop. A key part of our process is meticulous, traditional “old-style” re-pinning, which ensures correct alignment, strength and stability. This not only improves the overall appearance but also makes future cleaning easier and significantly reduces the risk of breakages.

G & P Cohn is also highly regarded for professional chandelier cleaning. We have restored the sparkle of chandeliers of all sizes, from small, intricate fixtures to large statement pieces. Our experience includes working within prestigious National Trust properties and private residences throughout London and beyond. Our thorough cleaning process removes years of accumulated dust and grime, returning each chandelier to its original brilliance.

In addition, we specialise in safe and reliable chandelier electrification. We rewire antique chandeliers, including glass, oil and gas fixtures, using modern materials that meet current safety standards. We also offer US conversions, replacing UK components with US-compatible parts for clients relocating abroad.

Alongside our restoration services, we offer a carefully selected range of chandeliers for sale, including ceiling chandeliers, candelabra, lanterns and wall lights in a variety of sizes and styles.
