Residential Relics has been selling antique lighting and hardware in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for more than 20 years. We specialize in items that were built into homes from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s. We do not sell reproductions, nor do we put reproduction shades on our antique lights. We have made a sincere effort to accurately photograph and describe each item in our catalog, including any flaws or repairs, to let you know exactly what you are buying.

Residential Relics also provides expert lighting repair and restoration services to many antique dealers, decorators, designers, and homeowners in the Twin Cities area. We would be happy to work with you on your lighting restoration project. If you want to buy a fixture from us but need to have it lengthened or shortened, if you have special mounting requirements or desire any other alterations, please contact us to discuss your needs. References available upon request.
