With our expert team, and our Director's extensive knowledge, Wilkinson Ltd can design and manufacture chandeliers to any specification. Working directly with our clients, we have created some truly wonderful pieces both modern and antique in design.
As expert chandelier manufacturers, and with our repair, glass cutting and metalwork departments are all under one roof, we can offer a complete restoration on almost any chandelier, glassware or even metal pieces.
Cleaning chandeliers in London and the South East, with over 50 years experience. We clean each piece by hand - not using sprays which can cause untold damage.
Broken or damaged pieces of glassware? We can carry out a large variety of repairs using a number of methods, from decanters to ornaments.
With our own glasshouse located in Kent our glassblower of over 20 years Carl Norbruch can create a vast range of items in lead crystal.
We needed the central hole of a bobeche opened up to replace a broken piece on a chandelier. After checking with a central London glass specialists, who quoted a cost higher than replacing the ENTIRE chandelier, we were very lucky to be put in touch with Wilkinson. They did an exceptional job: the central hole is very even with smooth sides and looks identical to the the original piece. We had the bobeche back in two weeks and the cost was very reasonable.
