Fine Streamline Art Deco six shade chandelier...Circa 1935 - 37 made by Mid-West Mnf of North Kansas City, MO. They called this series: The Beverly. And this top-of-the-line chandelier was numbered 2305 for ordering. The six shade versions of any light were always top-of-the-line for all Art Deco slip shade series from every company. This nice chandelier is finished in a mixed nickel and what Mid-West called their Venetian Bronze finish. It was also available in a nice old gold finish with nickel highlights during the '30s. It was definitely a contrast that was part of the Streamline statement in lighting. This chandelier has been totally re-wired with new sockets and wires in our UL approved shop, and is ready to go. We will even supply a mounting kit so you can have it hung-up in no time. Nice original finish and shades. The finish is a mite thin in places...like an old Persian carpet, with the minor metal showing some of its 80 or so years...but the condition is considered good for the age of the fixture. Measurements: Height: 22", but can be increased by adding more chain. Diameter: 18 ½" $984.50 complete...plus $50.00 for careful packaging and Ground Shipping to customers within the contiguous 48 states.

Original antique sconces with an original antique brass finish. The metal framed amber shades are really quite lovely when lit with nice contrasting crystal drops below. With a strong bulb, they give an ambiance that is just lovely. Not easy to find quality like this. The contrast of the BRASS body is quite striking. These sconces have a rich formality, and yet just have so much nice detail. So unusual and so striking. We took our picture with a mere 15 watt bulb so the camera lens would focus on the entire sconce and shade detail...not get blown out by too strong of bulb. These sconces have been completely re-wired in our UL shop with new medium base, normal, porcelain sockets and all new wire. A mounting kit will be supplied. Measurements: Height: 14" Width: 4 5⁄8" Projection: 7 ½" from the wall into the room. Price for the pair: $825.00 plus $25.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.
