‘We trade on our taste. We feel we have a nice selection, an eclectic mix’ – Brother and sister keep family traditions alive at Dublin store Hicken Lighting

Niall:Our grandmother Grace started the business making lampshades on Clarendon Street in Dublin, and in 1939 opened Handcraft on Wicklow Street which was there until 2006. Before people put up chandeliers, lampshades were the main thing. In the 80s we used to run concessions in Roches Stores.
