What Clients Say
Restoration of a Large Georgian English brass chandelier
"On behalf of St Mary's Church Wollaston in Northamptonshire, may I say how delighted we are with the service offered by G & P Cohn who have refurbished our Georgian chandelier and electrified it for us as a part of our Nave reordering project. The chandelier now looks absolutely stunning and is a testament to the company's excellent workmanship. I would have no hesitation in recommending them."

Cleaning — Large Tent and Tier Victorian Chandelier
"I can't recommend this company enough. Charming, utterly trustworthy people with a deep knowledge of and affection for their subject. I've dealt with other Chandelier companies before and I can only say I wish I had found Peter and Ben first."

Repair & Restoration
"Excellent service. Very quick and friendly. The whole chandelier was cleaned and completely repinned very speedily. It looked transformed and wonderful for two minutes, until I hung it up and dropped it from ceiling height, smashing quite a lot of it. I took it back in pieces, the chandelier also in pieces, and both of us received first-class trauma therapy from Ben Higgins at G&P Cohn's chandelier hospital. A magic wand was waved, and within very few days the chandelier was looking back to its pre-smash condition. Wonderful. Ten star. Can't rate it highly enough. And extremely reasonable charges."
