After dealing in the North of England for a several years, Hector acquired his 1st shop in Chiswick. Within two years Hector had outgrown the premises and moved to the current shop in Fulham. His passion for his subject soon filled the new shop with a large range of lighting including many pieces from the period covering the heyday of lighting design 1890 - 1930 and the early English makers of electric lighting such as Faraday, Osler and Best & Lloyd.

Our Story
read moreHector Finch started the eponymous lighting company in the mid 1980's and first traded from a small antique centre in Preston, Lancashire. With his father, a general antiques dealer, they travelled widely across the North of England, buying stock from private houses, auctions and dealers. Hector's natural talent for engineering and how things were made enabled him to find the right specialist restorers for antique fittings to be brought back to life. Some of these would pass through the hands of metal craftsmen, glass blowers, metal finishers and challenge the most able wirers before they were presented, fully restored, to his customers.
