Antique amethyst ring. Superb stone with lovely colour. This lovely ring has faults to the mount. I have two of these rings, both with faulted mounts - several other items from the same family also had similar amethysts, so it would appear that a 19th century necklace was broken up and re-purposed as rings, brooches etc. It was once common practise to remodel jewellery into other items according to fashion - possibly the original necklace was damaged and so was dismantled. This ring is mounted in 9ct gold, and has split design scroll shoulders and a pretty ball and loop mount around the stone - it's this ornate mount that is damaged. The stone is still held tightly, and is in no danger of falling out. Photos show the loss of the loops. Ring face measures 16 mm by 13 mm. Ring fitting is UK size J (USA size 4.3/4) with an internal diameter of 15.52 mm. Stone is in excellent condition.   « Less

Antique Art Deco Slip Shade Fenwick Chandelier Circa 1933 Authentic Art Deco, slip shade, polychrome painted, 5 shade chandelier. Circa 1933. The finish, while being cleaned up a mite, is original and simply beautiful to the max. Hard to find a much nicer antique slip shade chandelier than this one. Wonderful condition. The shades are simply a treat, and in remarkable condition. Probably made by Consolidated Glass, or another quality glass house. Since we are curators of the only American Art Deco Museum, we can tell you a bit about this light. It was made by a firm in Cleveland, Ohio called: The Frankelite Co. The logo was a stylized "F" in a diamond device. They issued their products under the trade name of Diamond Lighting Equipment. This light, circa 1933, was part of their "Fenwick Series". This chandelier was Model 1255. The catalog says it has a spread of 21" (they actually rounded that figure up from 20 ½"). Frankelite was a rather small firm that very little is known about. 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 has been verified by literature from the company as 1933. Measurements: * Height: 31" * Diameter: ~21" This fixture can be lengthened by adding chain links. Please contact us for pricing. The chandelier has been totally rewired with high grade sockets, and new central lead wire in our UL shop. Capable of up to 100 watts per socket, for a total of 500 watts. Price: Completely re-wired UL antique Fenwick chandelier by Frankelite: $1,375.00 plus careful 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. We complete the necessary paperwork to export our products. You are responsible for any additional paperwork required and any duty or customs fees.

Magnificent Large Ballroom Chandelier Large and important, bright brass-finished and crystal, monumental chandelier for an outstanding bargain price. Please note the hand-cut 12 crystal shades with pattern...not just cheap candletubes. That, together with all those wonderful crystals, make this an outstanding offering. Real power crystal lighting...not just a bulb or two...but 27 bulbs for a great and impressive appearance. This monumental chandelier has been totally rewired in our UL listed workshop, with all new American sockets of medium base bulb size. Lighting: There is a total of 27 bulbs in this beauty with the following distribution: 8 shaded bulbs on the outside largest rim with shades. 4 shaded bulbs on the outside upper rim with shades. In the center of this largest rim, there are a further 9 sockets (pointing up and down). On the smaller upper rim there are 6 sockets. A total of 27 medium base everyday sockets. Measurements: * Height: 73" overall. * Diameter: 44" Clearly meant for a very large room! Naturally, it can be lengthened, but shortening will require some engineering. Please contact us for more information & pricing. Price: $3,795.00 for the complete restored ballroom light. The new cost was rumored to be 8 to 10K. We, however, are just looking for a fair return on our UL shop time and effort. There is only ONE of these. Shipping: Freight Shipping will be calculated and invoiced separately after purchase. If you would like a shipping quote before purchase, please contact us...we would be happy to provide one! Free on-site pick up...but crating and handling will be assessed by destination and carriage type. Crating estimate is under $350. Building a crate for this wonderful chandelier is more like building a garden shed. We can use FedEx truck freight for a good rate, which again, is based on destination.   « Less
