A handsome pair of antique cast iron Tudor sconces in their original finish, made and signed by Markel Electric Products. Dating from the 1920’s, these double-arm sconces feature a hammered backplate with faux riveted detail and a crimped edge. The sconce arms are connected by an intricate design of volutes; each arm ends in a quatrefoil with a twisted spike below and a crimped bobeche above. These wall lamps are in excellent condition; they have been professionally rewired and come with all the necessary attachments for modern installation. We kept the original nonfunctioning turn switches for nostalgia’s sake; however, we will gladly replace them with new ones if desired. The sconces measure 10” tall, 9 ½” wide, and project 4 ¼” from the wall. NSP549-RW   « Less

Wonderful french art deco lamp in wrought iron. Around 1925. High quality wrought iron base holding a very nice shade in thick mold pressed glass signed Muller freres Luneville. The height of the lamp is 35 cm (about 13-3/4") and the shade has a diameter of 30 cm (11-13/16"). Excellent condition. One very small and unimportant chip around one of three holes for fixating the shade. It's located at the back and almost invisible - see last picture. The lamp is rewired with twisted rayon covered cord, new plug, switch and a french bayonet socket for which a 40 watt bulb will be added (more on request for 2,50eur/piece). I can replace the socket for a new european standard screw socket E14. For the US I will place a US candelabra base socket and US 2-prong plug. Payment by paypal or bank wire.

Boylston Antiques is Proud to Offer for Sale An American Empire Hitchcock Chair C. 1826-1843 A black and gold painted and stenciled, rush-seated “Hitchcock”  More »

Boylston Antiques is Proud to Offer for Sale An American Empire Hitchcock Chair C. 1826-1843 A black and gold painted and stenciled, rush-seated “Hitchcock” style American Empire period chair. Paint appears to be original, as much wear has occurred over the years. The rush seat is in wonderful shape. • The turned and reeded top crest rail has the distinctive Hitchcock pillow shape in the center, once ornamented with classical gold stenciling which has largely worn off. • The wide, curving center slat of the back has a classical gold stencil composed of pomegranates and leaves. • The narrower, lower slat is painted with two bell flowers centered on a classical gold line adorned with triple gold balls on each side and terminating in spear points. • The back is nicely flaired; the stiles descend in a continuous sabre arch to form the rear legs. • The rounded stiles are flattened on the front to hold more decorative stenciling; the right stile facing has a stencil of grape leaves and a pinecone; the left front facing stencil has largely worn off. • The legs and front stretcher are turned and reeded. • The legs terminate in button feet. • The crest rail height is 34” from the floor. • The seat sits 18” from the floor. • The seat is 18” wide at the front, narrowing to 14 ½” wide at the rear. • The seat depth is 14 3/4”. • The crest rail width at the top is 16 ½”. This chair is in as found condition. The surface patina is nicked, worn and flaked, as expected in a chair approaching 180 years of age. The chair is in reasonably sturdy shape for this delicate style of chair. This chair may be picked up in Boylston, MA. We can arrange for delivery within 100 miles Please e-mail for a delivery estimate with your location and particulars. All items are sold "as is" and all sales are final. This is an antique piece of furniture; small nicks and scratches are part of the beauty of an antique and are not described unless significant. Payment by PayPal.
