Wonderful set of FOUR matching 1920's Art Deco Sconces. The backplates are cast metal with a lovely pewter patina. The center section has a variation of the egg & dart pattern, but more stylized. Note too, that the first and second levels of the fitter (for the shades) echoes the lines of the backplates. So does the finial as well. A pretty well thought-out design. The shades are great and heavy glass, with a thick glass ruffled pattern motif. Minor roughness in a very few places...but not really noticeable. The shades are taller than normal, having a height coming out of the fitter of 6 3⁄8". This height, we assume, was to place the shades in the proper scale with the taller backplates. Measurements: •Height: 20" •Width: 6" (at the backplate) •Projection: 6" from the wall into the room. Completely re wired to UL standards in our UL shop with new medium base sockets; the twisty rayon covered wire is a copy of the 1920s wiring. No rotary switches, but if desired...they could be added for a slight extra cost. $1,375.00 for the complete set of FOUR sconces with shades...complete with mounting hardware. $50.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

Pair of Brass/Bronze Floral Motif Art Deco Sconces with Serpentine Slip Shades While the first impression of the design is French, we believe that these were made in the US. Heavy construction and a rotary off/on switch was more American than European. That floral design was so typical of the French Deco look, although it was also used by the most famous American Art Deco glass maker: Consolidated Glass...almost exclusively in all their patterns during the 30s. It was also repeated by Moe Bridges in some of their metal work. The heavy glass is about ¼ of an inch thick, nicely serpentine shaped, and a nice amber color. All in all...a unique and attractive pair of Art Deco sconces. Completely re-wired to UL standards in our UL shop, with new sockets and new rotary switch. Each socket rated for up to 100 watts, and naturally, LED bulbs can be installed too. Measurements: •Height: 9 ¾" overall. •Width: 5 ¼" overall. •Projection: 3 7/8" from the wall into the room. A mounting kit will be supplied. Simply a great find for a classic, elegant ambiance. Price: $935.00 for the pair, plus $25.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

A very neat shell motif set of the British theater sconces from England. These sconces are often called "Odeon Sconces," since one of the main movie house chains in Britain named all their theaters "Odeon." Odeon is sometimes a synonymous term for a movie theatre in Britain. Saying "Let's go to the Odeon" is the same as saying "Let's go to the movies." The Odeon sconces vary in style...most popular was the shell motif. These types of sconces were often 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. This offering has a bit of the shell motif, with a more Deco style line décor. The frames of the sconces are solid brass, which have an antique finish. The shades are a pleasant amber color, and lighted with TWO sockets for a more even distribution of light. We have rewired these sconces to UL American standards with new American porcelain chandelier sockets in our UL shop. So, these are ready to hang with an American standard light mounting kit, which we will supply. Measurements: •Height: 9" •Width: 9" •Projection: 5" from the wall into the room. Uses candelabra size (E12) bulbs, like the ones common on household chandeliers. Price: $605.00 for the pair with shades, plus $25.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

These sconces are larger than normal, and project into the room more than most sconces from the 1920's era. If your wish is for sconces that make a statement, these might be it. Cast solid brass backplates with a Hi/Low antique finish, and great design detail. The shades are really quite interesting. Heavy cast glass with heavy embossed pattern designs, which are amber color. There is a band of clear glass design at the top and through the center, which cannot be seen too clearly in the pictures due to the lens blur, but which is quite effective. Measurements: •Overall Height: 13" •Overall Width: 6", including the shade. •Projection: 9 ½" from the wall into the room. •Backplate Footprint: 4 ¾" wide x 10 ½" tall. Electrical: These sconces have been totally re-wired in our UL shop. Normal bakelite sockets for everyday medium base bulbs were installed in each. The on/off switch is mounted onto the backplate.
