Historical Reasearch Library at VintageLights.com












I was reading another vintage style home magazine the other day while waiting at the grocery store and I came across an article which suggested ways to research your vintage home. The article suggested 4 books from Amazon to start with. People, we have 2 of the 4 available to view for free in our "Old Catalogue" section of our website. We have the scanned original catalogs, not the reproductions Amazon is selling. In addition to the old home catalogues, there are Interior Design Catalogues, Lawn and Garden Catalogues, and a Paint Color Catalogue by Sherwin Williams, just to name a few of the gems you will find. We continually search for additonal vintage catalogues to add to the collection. Some of the upcoming catalogues include a 1914 Construction Details magazine and a 1900 hardware catalogue from Paris.

Our main focus is vintage and antique lighting but our interest and passion includes all aspects of the home building trade of the early 1900s.
