How fascinating this light is!! Lovely graceful sweeping lines with great detailed classical elements makes it a very pleasant fixture indeed. Circa 1920. From the pictures, you can tell that this fixture has mixed metals of iron and steel and brass.

Normal candelabrum sockets for everyday candelabrum base bulbs have been installed. Measurements: Height: 28" Width: 10 ¾" maximum, with an average width of a little over 7" through the center.

Original antique backplates and original antique shades. These sconces have a formal Edwardian ambiance, and have a pewter look that is so typical of the Edwardian design style. The original antique shades are simple, with a typical custard coloring below, converting to a band of clear glass at the top. The metal of the backplates is cast zinc and aluminum with a lovely pewter finish. These sconces have been completely re-wired with true bakelite sockets (regular household size medium base) and all new wire. We have also replaced the switches, made by Leviton in the '20s...and still made up to two years ago. So these switches, by Leviton, are becoming more antique as we note this. Measurements: Height: 10 ¼" Width: 4 ¾" for the backplate; 3" for the shade. Projection: 6" from the wall into the room. $385.00 for the complete pair...plus $25.00 for Ground Shipping to addresses within the contiguous 48 states.

This series was named Fleurette, made by Lincoln Mnfg, of Detroit, MI, Circa 1935. In the series, there were four light types. They were: a five light chandelier...and...a top-of-the-line six light chandelier with a glass bottom (like this one)...and...a two light hall fixture...and...a sconce. This ANT-503 is a restored aluminum 6 light antique chandelier by Lincoln. There is an extra socket for the bottom shade. Aluminum was the foundry metal of choice for Lincoln. Most Art Deco makers had their foundry operation dedicated to one metal. In Lincoln's case...it was aluminum. While Vintage Hardware & Lighting does make the reproduction of this light in brass, this ANT-503 is an original antique, cast in aluminum, by Lincoln Mnfg Co., Circa 1930-36. Re-wiring has been accomplished to bring ANT-503 to UL standards. Shades are replacements. Measurements: Height: 21" Diameter: 17" ANT-503 Antique Chandelier: $962.50, complete as shown with amber shades, plus shipping charges. $50.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states. Residents of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and International Customers: We gladly ship our listings to customers worldwide. Shipping costs are calculated and invoiced separately on a per-order basis.

Original Antique Cast Composition Plaster Edwardian Ceiling Bowl Light Fixtures At the turn of the century, there was a continued serious move to design fancier and fancier theaters, restaurants, and financial institutions. A fast method to mimic classical Greek and Roman carved marble magnificence was fine plaster work. Workers were often imported from Europe for their skilled working with molds and structures that graced historical buildings there. This was a true artistic craft that has since been mostly lost. During its heyday, though, American workers also learned these skills and produced some equally fantastic items all on their own. Even today, as companies of conscience restore the plaster work in historical buildings, we marvel at the beauty and wonderful effect of a simple moldable material that can achieve such beauty when manipulated by a skilled craftsperson. During this time, lovely cast industrial plaster chandeliers were also produced to match the like columns and friezes that adorned elaborate interiors. This group of ANT-504 are such fixtures. Naturally, being made the way they were, most did not survive the misguided modernization process...being dropped from the ceilings and destroyed on impact...or they were simply scrapped as old fashion. A shame really...but so antiques and our history goes. Fortunately, we have EIGHT of these matching chandeliers from an estate in New Rochelle, New York. (Update: SOLD OUT) While they do show their age with slight bumps and bruises, they are still very unique antiques that deserve to be re-installed in historic buildings for a great indirect lighting affect. We have restored them to their original antique-gold finish. This is NOT the garish European gold, but the original American finish, which had a bit of black and red there-in. It is a muted affect that is original. And yes, our mold maker (who makes our plaster medallions), did make some structural improvements on a case-by-case basis. They look good. Measurements: Diameter: Slightly over 24" Height: 38" from the ceiling to the bottom of the finial. Hang height can be adjusted to various lengths for your project. Please contact us for pricing. These are NOT lightweight chandeliers. These chandeliers were used in manor homes, commercial buildings, and theaters, as well as other places where strong INDIRECT light was desired, instead of light bulbs glaring down at you. The image inside the bowl shows 6 medium base, normal E26 sockets on 3/8nps pipe...all of which...are original. We have only changed the final porcelain socket face to make them UL approved and safe after all these years. Of course they have all been re-wired in our UL shop. You note the undersize bulbs in place. For pictures only. We estimate that each socket could contain a 300 watt bulb, or even a touch larger. With new LED technology, large corn bulbs could also be used to great affect. For California, we could wire for GU-10 or G24 bulbs to comply with Title 24. Just needs a bit of thought. We have completed two out of the eight bowls we have, and the remainder could be finished in 10 days if multiples are desired. ANT-504 Antique Chandelier: $984.50 each complete as shown, plus freight shipping charges. If multiples are purchased, pallet shipping is best due to the weight. Designed to be connected directly to a UL approved electrical box that can hold weight. No plastic types. Freight Shipping will be calculated and invoiced separately after purchase.
