A very neat shell motif British theater chandelier from England. This chandelier, and sconces that match it, are often called "Odeon Lights" since one of the a main movie house chains in Britain, named all their theaters "Odeon". In fact..."Odeon" is sometimes a synonymous term for a movie theater. i.e "go to the Odeon". This chandelier was used with frosted, amber and even pink tinted shades around the turn of the century. In older British theaters, you can still see them existing where they have been for over half a century or more.We have rewired this chandelier to UL American standards with a new American center socket cluster for three bulbs. One bulb lights each shade so 300 watts can be achieved with this chandelier if you use 100 watt bulbs. With its standard socket, you can also use "spiral" CF bulbs, or our LED bulbs for great energy savings.The chandelier is ready to hang with an American standard light mounting kit which we will supply. Measures: 18" tall to the bottom of the finial with a width of 14 1/2". Price: $ 650.00 for the chandelier complete with the amber shades shown, plus shipping charges.

With the look of a 1900's chandelier, we offer this outstanding "silverized" chandelier. The style of this chandelier is more like Edwardian than Victorian but it keeps the "gasolier" look to it. We added our fine cut glass shades since they most resemble the single broken one we received with the light. I can see so many different elements in the design, it seems that it would blend with many decorative schemes: i.e Arts and Crafts or Edwardian and even Art Deco. While it does appear to mimic "gasolier" style, it was never gas. While the figures seem to suggest deco, it could also be bountiful harvest. All in all....it simply is a fascinating antique fixture, definitely 1900-1930. Very imposing and definitely a subject for around the table conversation if it were to be placed over a dining table. Measures: 49" tall with a width of 32". It could be shortened as those three support rods could be trimmed. But, if over a dining table...we would encourage leaving it at its present height. And we have re-wired this light to UL standards with new sockets and wiring. Ready to hang. Price: $1,750 with shades shown, plus shipping.   « Less

What an interesting pair of sconces these are. While they are simply lovely, they are also a bit of a puzzle. They could have been custom made since the shades are Circa 1920-30 crackle glass, but the steel and iron fixtures seem more recent. The shades are hand blown "art" form and are slightly different shapes and sizes. Each one fits its own sconce. This is another reason we believe that these were hand made, for a particular place for a particular client. Regardless of how they came into being.....the decorative effect is stunning. Ready to go...nothing needs to be done except add the light bulb. These sconces have been completely rewired and are supplied with all the mounting hardware. Each sconce does have its own switch which is identical to the ones used in 1910. It's hard to tell it was even replaced. Measurements: The Overall sconce height is 15 ½". The back plate measures 3" wide x 11" tall. The widest width is the shades which...depending on where you measure them, will vary. But a maximum of 7 ½" is about the widest. The project into the room from the wall about 8 ½". Price: $325.00 for the pair, plus shipping.   « Less
