Pair of Antique Restored Art Deco Close Ceiling Lights A PAIR of matching, antique, Art Deco period, three-light, close ceiling chandeliers. Excellent for a lower ceiling where substantial light is desired. They could, if desired, be mounted with a pull chain for off/on at the fixture. Or, they can be used with a dimmer wall switch. While they were produced just slightly before the true Art Deco era, they would have nicely graced a home from 1920 to 1940 with authentic ease. The frames have a nice pewter finish. Circa 1920, these fixtures were originally sold both as a close ceiling fixture and with a stem for a longer drop. These chandeliers have been totally rewired to UL code, with new sockets and wire, and are ready to grace a lovely home. Each socket is fully capable of 100 watt incandescent bulb. Measurements: * Height: 5" * Diameter: 13" Each fixture fastens directly to a UL approved electrical box by the center finial. All mounting supplies will be furnished. Must point out that the rim (which fits against the ceiling) does have some nibbles out of it. We have shown them in close up pictures. However, once installed, they do almost totally disappear...and then too...these are antiques that are showing their age, as well. The pricing does, however, reflect these nibbles. Price: $544.50 for the PAIR of UL restored close ceiling chandeliers, complete with shades...plus a small shipping charge. $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.

English Victorian pewter quart mug, with the marks for the reign of Victoria, (pre 1878) and the other county ciphers. Also seven other capacity seal marks for the reign of Edward VII. Made by James Yates of Birmingham. Lovely mellow baluster shape. Has a few body dents, and the rim is out of round a little. Mug measures 18.5 cm high, rim to handle is 18 cm, and diameter of body is 11 cm. The top 3/4 of the mug is a lovely mellow pewter colour, the lower third is paler - maybe it sat in fluid up to this mark, changing the colour? Or is it just that dust has settled on the top, and not coloured the base which it overhangs. Old repair mark under the base, which all but obliterates the RMC mark for the Royal Marines at Chatham Dockyards in Portsmouth.   « Less

Early Victorian large quart pewter tankard, maker James Yates. Reign marks for Queen Victoria, pre 1878, using V, then the crown, followed by R. Underneath this is O and underneath that is 587. Underneath this is a solitary 1. There are three other authorized capacity seal marks, one tiny one to the left of the Victorian mark which is virtually unreadable, and two others which I think are E Crown R, possibly King Edward VII. Underneath the mug is stamped R M C, which would be the Royal Marines, at Chatham base, Portsmouth. (We have three other mugs from the same household, one of which is stamped fully for this). Mug measures 18 cm high, rim to handle is 18 cm, and diameter of body is 11 cm. The top 3/4 of the mug is a lovely mellow pewter colour, the lower third is paler - maybe it sat in fluid up to this mark, changing the colour? Or is it just that dust has settled on the top, and not coloured the base which it overhangs. Top rim is slightly out-of-round, and there are mellow age marks, no actual dents though. It weighs 709g.   « Less
