About Us
Owned and operated by Gregory Tkal, Two if by Sea gallery is a lighting and design showroom featuring vintage, reproduction as well as custom designed light fixtures. Restoration and rewiring is another service he provides. The shop is beautifully appointed with vignettes of antiques and art. The name of the shop “Two if by Sea Gallery” comes from Greg and his wife, Melissa’s love of sailing and history, and the poem about the ride of Paul Revere indicating that two lanterns would be placed in the Old North Church if the British were coming by sea.
Greg has taken a 25 year career in the lighting industry and turned it into his dream business of providing unique lighting to satisfy the needs of his customers. Greg has reproduced and restored antique lighting fixtures throughout his career, working directly with historic museums and curators as well as homeowners and architects. His reproduction work has been seen in many films (Amistad, The Patriot, and others such as Father of the Bride). Custom lighting of all shapes and sizes can also be created blending of parts and style to create a unique fixture for your home.
Melissa is an interior decorator who specializes in decorative painting. Her fine art paintings and faux finish examples can be seen throughout the shop. She is available by appointment for consultation. Greg and Melissa have collaborated for many years in Designer Show-houses throughout the region, with Greg’s lighting embellished with Melissa’s hand painted ceiling medallions. Photographs of their past projects are displayed at the shop for inspiration.
Greg and Melissa are always on the search to bring unique items into the shop. All historic styles are represented including Victorian, Art Deco, Colonial and Mid Century. An interesting selection of glass shades, crystals and finials are available to embellish and customize the chandeliers, sconces and table lamps.
