Pair of Scarce Williamson Sconces Circa 1930 Just a lovely pair of iconic sconces made by Williamson...later bought by Beardslee...from the Circa 1930 period. These sconces...and the other lights of that suite...are some of the least-survivable slip shade fixtures made during the 30s. The shades were such thin glass that they just could not hold up to much abuse. Therefore...frames are more common...shades, not so much. From the Beardslee Catalog #46, which was copyrighted in 1932 by the Beardslee Chandelier Mfg Co, the suite is listed on pages 34 and 35 as: Williamson Shade-Lyte Series 60 (with these sconces being stock number 061). Information courtesy of the Kelly Art Deco Light Museum. The backplates are original polychrome color that was called Modern Gold. The shades are egg shell thin, and while one shows a bit more use than the other, still a very nice offering of scarce sconces. The lighting of these sconces are from the top down...instead of down-to-up, as most Deco fixtures were. Measurements: * Height: 13" overall. * Width: 6 ¾" (backplate) * Projection: 5" from the wall into the room. Ready to go...nothing needs to be done except add the light bulbs. These sconces have been completely rewired in our UL shop and are supplied with all the mounting hardware. $1,375.00 for the complete pair as shown...plus extremely careful packaging and 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.

Deco 5 Shade Clam Shell Chandelier by Mid-West Art Deco Mid-West Streamline design five-light chandelier, with great clam shell slip shades. From the 1930s. Mid-West was an outstanding company that survived the Great Depression that took many companies out. They had a standard that they never lowered, and the resulting work shows just that. They were clever, too. They used this clam shell shade for two totally different lines. The first line catered to the Victorian tastes, with curvilinear lines and motifs. The second line embraced the new Art Deco Streamline movement of which, this chandelier is a prime example of their Streamline series. (Information courtesy of the Kelly Art Deco Light Museum.) This fine light has mixed metal finishes of polished metal contrasting with a rich old gold finish. The shades are simply fantastic. No damage at all, and have extremely rich colors. Measurements: * Height: 23" * Diameter: 18 ½" overall. Overall height can be lengthened by adding a little extra chain. Please contact us for pricing. This chandelier has been totally rewired in our UL shop, with new sockets and new lead wire. Each slip shade socket can easily accept a 100 watt bulb.

Peter Moran One of America’s leading nineteenth century etchers of animals and landscapes, Peter Moran immigrated with his family to the United States at the age of  More »

Peter Moran One of America’s leading nineteenth century etchers of animals and landscapes, Peter Moran immigrated with his family to the United States at the age of three. At the age of sixteen he was apprenticed to the lithographic firm of Herline and Hersel, drawing mostly advertisements. A year later he began to study art under his elder brothers, Edward (1829 — 1901) and Thomas (1837 — 1926). Thomas Moran and his wife, Mary Nimmo Moran, both became very influential etchers. Peter Moran concluded his education by visiting England in 1863. He was particularly influenced there by the animal and landscape art of Edwin Landseer, Rosa Bonheur and Constant Troyon. Peter Moran was a full member of the New York Etching Club and the Philadelphia Art Club. He also served as President of the American Society of Etchers.

 Peter Moran first gained national recognition in 1864 when he visited the territory of New Mexico. He was in fact the first non-native artist to portray aspects of the life and culture of the Pueblo Indians. During the 1870’s and 1880’s he returned to both New Mexico and Arizona, creating a great legacy of both paintings and etchings of these areas. In 1890 Peter Moran traveled as the official artist for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

 Here we have a very rare impression of Peter Moran “The Flock.” Published by Gebbie and Co. Executed in 1887. This is a rich impression on Japon paper of an earlier and very small edition. The etching measures 9.50 x 14.50 inches. 

There is slight discoloring (even foxing on verso and two tape stains, not effecting the work) with good margins, printed on Japon paper and attached on the wove paper with good plate mark, Pencil Signed, and with a second (remarque sketch in the plate of a beautiful dog) and signed below the work Plus plate signed. Signed in the plate and below the image by the artist. This is considered among one of Peter Moran’s masterpieces and rare to find. This state with pen and plate signature, on Japon paper and a small etched sketch in the work below the main etching are very rare and published in a very small edition.   « Less
