Lovely set of FOUR turn of the century mirror back sconces. Circa 1920, these sconces have a lightness to them with a bit different ambiance. The BEVELLED mirror centers are special. The solid brass frame is quality. The shades are French by Vianne. Just a great combination all around. Each sconce has been carefully re-wired to UL standards with new sockets and wire. Ready to go. These sconces will all be supplied with all the necessary mounting hardware. Naturally, having a mirror back, a gentle installation hand is suggested during the installation process since it could be possible to break the nice bevelled mirror with too aggressive tightening of the mounting nut that runs through the mounting hole of the mirror. Each sconce measures: Overall 11" tall. The maximum width is 4 1/2". The sconces will project into a room 5 1/4". All sconces are matching with the same dimensions. $ 795.00 for the set of all four matching sconces...plus shipping. We will not split the lot. They should be kept together because four matching antique sconces are rather hard to find.   « Less

One of the scarce lights of the deco era from Mid West MFG. This is the 5 light Soleure chandelier. Mid West only made the best quality lighting. This chandelier is solid bronze with a great original finish. The castings are so beautiful, as well, with lots of pierced parts which are...were... so hard to do as any casting man will tell you. The finish does have some minor flakes and thinning but it also has a nice mellow appearance and most vintage lighting aficionados would not touch this lovely...aged... finish. This light has been totally re-wired as well with five new sockets and a new main stem wire. The drop of this light now is 30 inches and it has a diameter of about 20 inches..... shade tip to shade tip. The ceiling canopy measures about 7 inches in diameter. The five shades are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and they all match each other very well. Price: $1,650 plus shipping   « Less

Lovely pair of Circa 1930 wall sconces. Original backplates and original shades. Old gold painted cases with touches of old nickel elaborations at the bottom. The metal of the backplates is cast metal and then finished with old gold. The installed panel is so unusual and, while we have one of these in the museum, attribution has escaped us. Best guess has been Moe Bridges. Very neat for originality. These sconces have been completely re-wired with true bakelite sockets and all new wire. We have also replaced the switches, made by Leviton in the 20's...and still made up to two years ago. So these switches by Leviton are becoming even more rare as we note this. Measurements: The Overall sconce height is 8". The maximum width is 7 1/2". It will project into the room from the wall, a mere 3". $715.00 for the pair... plus shipping   « Less

Extremely hard to find, large commercial size Art Deco streamline design chandelier. Circa 1940. While it is hard to imagine the size of this wonderful chandelier at 27" in diameter, I would suggest getting a measuring tape and simply looking at the wonderful diameter of this difficult to find bowl chandelier. The light is made from `spun' aluminum and knowing how large the spinning lathe had to be to create this piece, simply can boggle the mind. Lovely Streamline Art Deco. While the diameter of the bowl is 27", the overall height is 55". Best of all...we have multiples of this light. At this time, we have 7 of these great chandeliers. So if you are doing a commercial project and need multiple chandeliers, here is a rare opportunity to complete your project with original antiques. Electrical: Rewired with porcelain mogul sockets (that old floor lamp big socket) and currently will be supplied with a 300 watt incandescent bulb. However, the socket can definitely handle a much bigger bulb if more light is required. $450.00 each plus shipping.   « Less
