These are shown in their catalog of 1936, and are part of the 9900 group. This sconce was stock numbered 9911.

A nice pair of Art Deco sconces made by Virden, and pictured in their catalog of 1931. Virden called this series: The Berkeley Line. There were chandeliers with various support types, but only one wall sconce, and it was this one. It was stock numbered 1401. This pair of nice sconces are finished in an Art & Crafts style of pewter, but have an air of Gothic to them while still remaining Deco. This design crossed a few decorative motifs. The shades are amber, and in good...remarkable...condition. Measurements: * Height: 11" overall, measured from the top of the shade to the bottom of the backplate. * Width: 6 ¼" (maximum) * Projection: 4 ½" from the wall into the room. These sconces have been completely re-wired in our UL shop with new sockets and rotary switches. The sockets can easily handle 100 watts, but we recommend a limit of 60 - 65 watts if incandescent bulbs are to be used. This is to protect the slip shades from excessive heat. Greater light output can be obtained by using energy efficient LED or compact fluorescent light bulbs. These types of light bulbs operate at cooler temperatures, and do not emit as much heat as incandescent. All mounting hardware will be supplied. $825.00 for the complete UL re-wired pair of antique sconces and amber shades...plus $25.00 for careful packing and Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

Authentic Art Deco, slip shade, mixed metals, 5 light chandelier circa 1936-38. The finish, while being cleaned up a mite, is original and pleasant. Wonderful condition. The shades are simply a treat, and in remarkable condition. This is the larger slip shade made during the later part part of the Art Deco slip shade era. Its purpose was to allow bigger bulbs and more light spread from those made just a couple of years before, which had size limitations. All the Art Deco makers got into this scoop shade profile. They varied the design of the bowl a bit, so telling them apart is not very easy, since at first glance they all look so similar. This version has a nice, clean edge, with a ribbed bottom section. But it is interesting to note how the center rib of the shade matches the ribbed column and ceiling canopy. This is more a Streamline fixture due to these simplistic elements. Measurements: * Height: 23" overall. * Diameter: 18 ½" This fixture can be lengthened by adding chain links. Please contact us for pricing. The chandelier has been totally rewired in our UL shop with high grade sockets and new central lead wire. Capable of up to 100 watts per socket, for a total of 500 watts. The picture was taken with 11 watt bulbs to not blow out the focus, and allow the frame details to show through. Price for the completely rewired UL antique chandelier with amber slip shades: $825.00 plus careful shipping. $50.00 for careful packing and Ground Shipping to addresses within the contiguous 48 states.

Antique Art Deco Chandelier Circa 1930 Nice five light Deco era chandelier with drop-in amber shades. The metal frame is nicely finished in a pewter finish, which contrasts beautifully with the amber shades. There are the odd places that wear does show, which is consistent with age...but overall, a rather nice chandelier. Interesting motif with scrolls and shields. We're almost tempted to say Deco Gothic-est...as even the fitters for the shades seem to have a Deco-Gothic look about them. Wonderful condition. The drop-in shades are in good condition. Co-existing at the same time as slip shade lighting, it was a fashion that had a more reliable and safer mounting shade than slip shades. There was, and is, a preference for this type of shade for a more traditional look. Measurements: * Height: 21" * Spread: 15 ½" This fixture can be lengthened by adding chain links. Please contact us for pricing. The chandelier has been totally rewired in our UL shop with high grade sockets and new central lead wire. Capable of up to 100 watts per socket, for a total of 500 watts. The picture was taken only with 11 watt bulbs to not blow out the camera's focus, and allow the frame details to show through. Price for this completely re-wired UL antique chandelier with amber shades: $715.00 plus careful shipping. $50.00 for careful packing and Ground Shipping to addresses within the contiguous 48 states.

An antique Art Deco batwing slip shade chandelier with its original two-tone finish and polychrome accents. Dating from the 1930’s, the chandelier hung in its original Chicago home until the house was gutted in 2002. The chandelier features five batwing slipper shades. The body of the chandelier has a gold-toned hue with accents of color. There is a domed coordinating shade on the bottom. A finial with is suspended from its center. The light fixture is in excellent condition with no cracks or breaks the to the slipper shades. The chandelier was rewired with fixtures in each of the five batwing shades. The bottom dome shade originally had a fixture, and that could be added for more light. The fixture measures approx. 20" wide and 18-1/2" tall. Sold separately, I have four matching wall sconces, and one sconce base without shade.   « Less
