Pair of wrought iron chandeliers from turn-of-the-century...Circa 1920 or so. Hard to date accurately, but the quality and the original cloth wiring helped us. Heavy and well made! We have restored the sockets and wiring completely in our UL shop, and they are ready to hang. The glass shades are all unique. This is because they are hand-blown and free-blown, which means in the air...but not into a die. So every single shade is hand done and a bit different. All the glass is in near-mint condition, and each has a beautiful crackle glass surface. They add a rustic and unique accent to these fixtures. The cast lion face masks between each shade are rather striking, and do pose a certain attitude. All rather Medieval Gothic. I like how the area below the shade is bulbous, which imitates an oil lamp reservoir, but of course only functions as a design characteristic now. Measurements: Height: 28", but can be adjusted by adding chain links, or an additional rod supsension for a slight additional cost. Diameter: 25" All mounting hardware will be supplied. Price for the complete pair of Gothic chandeliers with shades: $3,080.00 plus Freight Shipping. Freight shipping is quoted and invoiced separately after purchase.

Pair of antique Art Deco slip shade wall sconces by a firm in Cleveland, Ohio called: The Frankelite Co. Frankelite had a logo which was a stylized "F" in a diamond device, and issued their products under the trade name of Diamond Lighting Equipment. These sconces, circa 1933, were part of the group they named the "Fenwick Series". Frankelite was a rather small firm, about which very little is known. We have a few examples of their work, and they are always rather unique and attractive stand-alone lights. The name and date of these fixtures is verified by literature from the company as stated above. Wonderful condition. The shades are simply a treat, and in remarkable condition. The shades were probably made by Consolidated Glass, or another quality glass house. We have rewired this pair of sconces in our UL shop with new porcelain sockets and rotary switches, just like the old ones. Ready to go! Measurements: Height: 11" Width: 6 ¾" overall (backplate). Projection: 5" from the wall into the room. Price: $935.00, plus $25.00 for Ground Shipping to addresses within the contiguous 48 states.

The markings on the ricasso seem to indicate that this very unusual Hunting Sword was made in the village of Tjikoreh, called today Chikorea, on the island of Java. The village was well known for producing quality edged weapons and was chosen by a Dutch Colonial to craft this custom sword. While this sword has a very characteristic European style antler hilt, guard with reverse quillions and scabbard mounts the blade clearly shows Indonesian design influence. The well constructed blade swells to a clip point with a false edgeThe fullers bear artfully engraved, Muslim influenced, scroll engraving. The scabbard is European style but constructed of wood rather than leather, with nickeled brass mounts. The ricasso is marked TJI.Kr and dated 1907. There is some scattered pitting , as shown, on what must have been the resting side of the blade. The sword is 29" long with a 23" blade that retains much of the original polish. A scarce and very collectible sword.   « Less
