Pair of Polychrome Turn of the Century Wall Sconces with Ruby Tipped Amber Shades What a nice turn-of-the-century pair of sconces these are! Original polychrome colors in  More »

Pair of Polychrome Turn of the Century Wall Sconces with Ruby Tipped Amber Shades What a nice turn-of-the-century pair of sconces these are! Original polychrome colors in VERY good condition. We hope the pictures do these sconces justice since they are in remarkable condition. Those original antique shades are simply works of art by themselves. The shades were pressed into a mold for the pattern, then the ruby-tipped edges were applied. The combination of amber and ruby glass is very attractive. Measurements: * Height: 10 ¾" * Width: 4 ¾" * Projection: 6" from the wall into the room. These sconces have been completely rewired in our UL shop with new sockets to conform to UL guidelines. The sconce backplates have a switch installed at the center which was renewed when the sconces were rewired. Each socket is capable of accepting a 100 watt bulb...but...due to the shade height...bulbs need to be chosen carefully. We used low profile LED bulbs, and we will give them to you since they fit the fixture so wonderfully. This bulb gives a great output for ambiant sconces. These sconces are ready to go, and will be supplied with all the necessary mounting hardware. Complete, UL Rewired Pair of Poly-Chrome Sconces: $495.00 supplied with our LED bulbs...plus careful shipping. $25.00 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. We complete the necessary paperwork to export our products. You are responsible for any additional paperwork required and any duty or customs fees.

Antique Lincoln Mfg Quality Slip Shade Chandelier Circa 1935 This 5 shade chandelier was made by Lincoln Manufacturing, who were ONE of the largest makers of slip shade  More »

Antique Lincoln Mfg Quality Slip Shade Chandelier Circa 1935 This 5 shade chandelier was made by Lincoln Manufacturing, who were ONE of the largest makers of slip shade lighting in America, and who even sold to Sears. We know Lincoln design and castings quite well, having handled hundreds of their various products. This particular chandelier is unique because of the design of the shades. It came from the series called Dynalite. It has attributes that are DIFFERENT from Virden, or Markel, or Acme, or Frankelite, or Halcolite, or Globe. The positioning of the shade, being upside down, was a favorite variation of Lincoln's that was hardly ever used by any other manufacturer. The fixture is aluminum...Lincoln Mnf was an aluminum foundry, rather than cast iron or cast zinc. The shades are just so fantastic. Amber glass with floral reliefs. The frame is "old gold" colored, and original. Like most antiques, this chandelier is showing its age a bit. Some of the finish is worn in places, and muted like an like an old Persian carpet. Measurements: * Height: 26 ½" * Diameter: 16" Wiring: Totally rewired (with new sockets and wire) in our UL shop. It's ready to hang, and we will supply all the necessary parts to do so easily. Each rewired socket can use up to a 100 watt incandescent bulb. With old glass, however, we like to dial down the wattage whenever possible. Price: $962.50 plus shipping. $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.

Monumental Pair of Solid Cast BRONZE Gothic Ceiling or Entry Lights Simply magnificent in their style, size, and workmanship. They are stunning to behold. Circa  More »

Monumental Pair of Solid Cast BRONZE Gothic Ceiling or Entry Lights Simply magnificent in their style, size, and workmanship. They are stunning to behold. Circa 1910. We were fortunate that someone was thoughtful enough to have put these treasures into storage. Being CAST bronze, with acrylic window replacements, they are not lightweights. Better figure about 250 pounds of holding power for installation. We used our 150kg chandelier lift for the pictures, and we would surely recommend one for a permanent installation. A strong crossbar will be supplied for mounting. Having been in storage for years and years, these fantastic lights were an undertaking in restoration and re-wiring. They have been completely re-wired in our UL shop with a new idea in lighting. The clusters of old fashioned, inefficient 1900s sockets were removed, and a carousel of SIX LED tubes was installed for an even 360° representation of lighting. One tube lights each window evenly, instead of visible hot spots that occur with regular light bulbs. Each LED tube is 4 feet long. We have shown 3 views of this LED carousel in one picture. Each 4-foot tube consumes only 23 watts of power, and has an output of 2100 lumens of light. Side note: Also complies with California Title 24 energy saving requirements. These LED tubes can be accessed from the bottom acrylic panel, which is in two parts for separation and access. The LED tubes are powered from only one end, as is the new UL requirements for LED tubes...and that power is taken off the top of the carousel, as shown in one of the photographs. A picture of the bottom is also shown, both with and without the acrylic inset so the carousel can be seen, and also how it will be hidden during use. Yes, the LED tubes are supplied with the light, so a turn-key solution is in hand. Measurements: The overall height (as shown) is 106" (8' 10"). However...it could be lengthened by us supplying more tube (might be required in a commercial application)...OR...it could be reduced by shortening the hex tube to result in an overall height of as little as 72" (6 ft), since the lantern part by itself measures 67" tall, and we need about an additional 5" for the canopy and wiring access. The maximum lantern width is 27". The canopy measures 15" at the maximum width, and has a 4 ½" height. The canopy looks smaller in the photographs...but compared to the lantern...it just looks smaller. Price for the PAIR: $9,350.00 plus careful packing and shipping. If someone went out to have these made, you would probably would pay at least triple this price...and here...these are even antiques. Freight Shipping is extra, and must be calculated for destination. Freight Shipping costs are calculated and invoiced separately after purchase.
