Art Deco Six Shade Top-of-the-Line Chandelier by Mid-West Art Deco Mid-West design six shade chandelier with great amber shades. From the 1930s. Interesting that Mid-West used the same finial on this fixture as they used with their Soleure line, as it is such an iconic design and representative of their fine company. Mid-West was an outstanding company that survived the Depression that took many other light manufacturers out. They had a high standard that they never lowered, and their resulting work shows just that. This fine light has an original old gold metal finish in outstanding condition for its age. The amber shades are also in simply great condition. Measurements: * Height: 30 ½" * Diameter: 19 ½" The height can be lengthened by adding chain. Please contact us for pricing. This chandelier has been totally re-wired in our UL shop with new sockets and new lead wire. Sockets are rated for up to 100 watts. We are also supplying the bracket (crossbar) for this light, so literally, you can hang this light and have it working minutes after receiving it. Really a nice light.

Pair of gorgeous 1930s-Mid Century Chinese porcelain table lamps. Both lamps are marked with a foil sticker Warren Kessler New York The base looks like rosewood and the shades look like silk; however I am not sure I am right on either account. The porcelain part of the lamps measure approximately 20" tall' with the shades a substantial 38" tall. All the metal is brass. The colors are beautifully matched hues of green, blue, pink and yellow. Each lamp has a double light with pull chains for each. The lamps are in excellent cosmetic and working condition.

Very rare blackware vase signed Alfonsita Martinez on the bottom along with San Ildefonso, Pue. The reason we are saying very rare is because we looked online for works from this artist and was unable to find anything; no auction or sales records for blackware, museum listings, etc. Alfonsita Martinez (Roybal) is the mother of Santana Roybal Martinez who married Adam Martinez, Maria and Julian Martinez's son in 1923. Santana and Maria produced pottery (signed Santana + Maria) for approximately eight years. When Maria began working with her son, Santana and Adam (Santana + Adam) began producing high quality pottery on their own. Alfonsita taught her son, Alfonso Roybal (Awa Tsireh) to paint her pottery. He went on to become the most famous of Pueblo painters. One online source stated Alfonsita was born circa 1881. We sent pictures to a prestigious gallery who identified it as her work and wanted us to consign the vase, Therefore, we are guaranteeing this is Alfonsita's work. The vase measures approximately 3-3/4" tall, 14-1/2" all the way around at the largest point, 2-1/4" wide at the mouth, and 4-5/8" wide on the base. The vase weighs almost 15 ounces unpacked. Condition: We see no hairlines, chips, or cracks. To our eyes it looks to be in very nice condition overall for its age, but we are not experts in grading blackware so please look at the photos carefully and closely and ask all questions needed. There is what I would call light age wear which one would expect to see from a vase this old. I think it might need to be cleaned but we are not touching it. I just know very little about blackware. I also see a very tiny hole up close to the top that does not go all the way through. I assume this must have occurred in the firing, but again I am not knowledgeable in this area. You can see this in the very first image to the right toward the top of the vase. As you can see in the photos, there are some dark and light places and we do not know what that means. Please disregard the light reflections in the images; those were created by the camera's flash and the light source used during photography. Price does not include shipping and handling.   « Less

Lovely natural, undyed red coral necklace. As photographed, the necklace measures approximately 9-3/4" long; from end to end, including the clasp is approximately 19-1/4" long. The necklace consists of 94 round coral beads that are approximately 7mm (this is the width not the thickness) and the center coral bead is approximately 9mm. As you can see in the photographs, some beads are thicker than others. The white metal beads are some form of silver, I just do not know what the content is. The coral beads are strung on some form of silver wire (again, do not know the content) terminating to a toggle clasp. I believe this necklace is in ready to wear condition. Price does not include actual shipping charges.   « Less

Beautiful pair of Kwan Yin porcelain lamps. After doing some research I believe the lamps are Chinese porcelain, considered blanc de chine, circa mid 20th century with a celadon glaze. What I was unable to find was a pair with the lattice type wood backing. This lattice style is also found on the wood bases. I believe the shades are handmade. Each lamp has a different style of finial; not sure if either is one is original. Price does not include actual shipping and handling. Each lamp has the same approximate measurements: Height with shade: 32". Height of Kwan Yin: 19". Wood backing: 20-1/4" tall and 7" wide. Wood base: 7". Each lampshade has the same approximate measurements: 19" wide and 13" tall. Condition: Lamps: One lamp has a piece broken off one of the flowers. The other lamp has a teeny-tiny fleabite chip on the edge of one flower. If I had not felt it, I would not have noticed it. There are no hairlines or cracks, however there is some light crazing. One lamp looks to have its original wiring and the other one may have been rewired due to its clear cord. Both lamps are in working condition. Lampshades: There are a few places on the bottom edge of both shades that have wear or worn through to the lamp frame.   « Less

This is an antique 14K yellow gold necklace chain with a fish clasp, 47" long. It weighs 42.4 g or 27.3 dwt. In typical antique fashion, there are no marks, but I have tested it and guarantee that it is 14K. The chain consists of interlocking textured round links that alternate with four sided bars 1" long that are pierced with stars. The piece de resistance is the clasp in the form of the head of a fish with emerald eyes, 7/8" long. The chain can be doubled up or worn as one long, elegant chain. I am guessing that the necklace dates to about 1890 or so, and that it is American or English. The condition is excellent. I think that this antique chain is quietly sensational.   « Less

This is a stunning Corocraft Deco bangle cuff bracelet with blue and white rhinestones. The inside measurement is 2-1/2" x 2" and comfortably fits a 6-1/2" wrist. There is a hinge at the back which allows the bracelet to open and slip on easily. I am guessing that it dates to about the 1940's to'50's. It is in excellent vintage condition. There is just a scratch on the back of one of the round sections and a tiny flake off the plating on one of the circles on the front, hard to notice when worn. I have the matching earrings, please feel free to inquire.   « Less
