Lots of Retro and Art Deco lights available with the pieces updating as the owner finds new items in his travels. He'll work with you to create custom pieces based on your designs which allows for a very personalized fixture to be brought home in the end. Well worth checking out. Reduced hours for the summer so it is best to call ahead this month to be sure that the shop is open.

This is my favorite store for vintage lighting in the GTA. They always have an interesting and eclectic selection on display. I have purchased a half-dozen or so pieces from single bulb fixtures to large chandeliers. There's always something interesting to choose from. Pete, the owner, is very knowledgeable and always helpful. Highly recommended!
