I have a beloved olde family heirloom lamp (the kind that your relatives try to weasel out of you…read morebefore you're mature enough to realize how lovely it is). Two weeks ago, to my utter despair, the little bugger shocked me; intervention was required. Enter Appleton Antique Lighting. It's a bit small, and Route 9 is a bit crazy, so keep your eyes peeled. The gent going through bills off to the side was a bit brusque, but the lady at the register was very sweet. They quoted an *extremely* reasonable price for the fix. They said it might take two weeks, but they got it done in one. And my lamp is back to its healthy, non-shocking ways. Go there. And bring your poor, your tired, your huddled lamps, yearning to be fixed.

I can't say that I know a whole lot about lamps. My bedside lamp had been bugging me for the last…read moreten years or so - I kept having to wiggle the switch to get it to work, and sometimes the light would go out while I was reading, it would go out and I'd have to get up and wiggle the switch again - one of those really annoying little things. Finally it dawned on me that there's people out there who fix these things - I took it to Appleton, and the rest is history. They are incredibly nice there, and while they said it would take a few days to fix, it turned out they were able to sneak it in between larger projects and the lamp got repaired by the next day. Not bad! Basically, I would say that they were very knowledgeable, extremely welcoming and affable people with excellent customer service, and as far as I can tell, they charged a reasonable price. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again as they certainly have earned a repeat customer (just hoping that I won't have any more broken lamps, haha).

I'll definitely be coming back here with any future purchases and repairs.

This is everybody's least favorite company in the area. Everything from the unfriendly older woman…read morewho runs it to the high prices on 75% of it. Her prices are unreal And often higher than sold comps on eBay. I understand that some higher end items should be priced accordingly, but she looks them up on eBay and bases price on what people are asking for the item and not what an item sells for, like a professional would do. I could ask $1,450 for a bag of vintage dog sh!t but if nobody buys it at that price, that's not it's value. If only she realized this. Also, she not friendly and most estate sale goers in the area stay clear of her sales or go there at the very end, because that's the only time she'll discount her ridiculously inflated prices. If you're considering hiring her, do your homework and look for the best company to represent your estate. Her photos in the listing are consistent with the quality of 1997 flip phone photos. She repeats photos a half a dozen times and hasn't a clue how to display in an attractive manner. I've read she has 30+ years experience. Just because you've worked in a field for 30+ years doesn't mean you know what you're doing or you perform it well. Just my opinion of this company. It's the last on my list of companies in the area to go to and if you chat with others in line, that is pretty much the word on the street with this company. Overall rating is a D.

My first thought... is it a wirthwhile drive from Barrington, RI? Normally, I would not make this…read moretrip because of the distance, and my own ignorance about framing shop in general. I am glad I took the trip, however. I came here with a friend to have a special frame made for her friend, whose mother passed away recently. This special gift has to be done with care and some artistic sense. It was a correct choice to come here, and not to generic franchise ones you find in a mall, staffed by underpaid and overworked teens. Not that I have anything against hardworking teens, for a special gift with lots of special memories must be handled by experienced people. When you walk in here, you are awestruck by the spaciousness and the open feel of an old building in a town center. Walls are covered by gorgeous examples of their framing work. Right next to the shop is an art gallery to showcase their work, along with the arts of local artists. I love the concept of combining the art gallery and the framing shop. A great synergy.
