Welcome to Hippo Hardware

A Portland Institution since 1976. Specializing in original and reproduction hardware, architecture, lighting, and plumbing.           

 

At Hippo we've wired a blender into a table lamp, made door knobs into coat hooks, and searched for oven cord to finish a young girl's science project.  We believe in supporting individuals and helping each person achieve whatever goals they've set for themselves.

Our lighting department has an incredibly wide selection of antique and new chandeliers, ceiling fixtures, sconces, shades, table lamps, floor lamps, and parts.  We're happy to try and match a pattern if you have a broken piece of glass.  Our department is highly customizable and keenly attuned to creating or finding something to fit our customers desires.

Our lighting shop is UL certified which means any electrician can hang our work.  We sell all our fixtures with the option of rewiring/refinishing and we also take in repair work.  All rewiring/refinishing will be issued a quote for estimated cost.  Our staff can easily help you find the finish, color, length, and specialty details that will transform a nice lighting fixture into the perfect thing.

Our hardware department has an excellent eye for details and can help match Victorian hardware patterns, fix a funky mortise lock, or search our new replacement parts.  We have a wide variety of new hardware as well as a huge selection of used ranging from the 1800s until the 1970s.  If you are only interested in looking at antique hardware, please use the search function and look for "antique".

The entire bottom floor of our 30,000 sq ft. building is dedicated to arctitural pieces - doors, molding, windows, decorative carvings.  Larger items are a bit tricky to ship but if we can find the perfect thing it can certainly be arranged.  We do welcome you to stop by if you're in the area and see our massive collection for yourself.
