Very Scarce Consolidated Lamp & Glass Co. Martele Chandelier Consolidated Lamp & Glass Co. of Coraopolis, PA was one of America's finest glass makers before and during the Great Depression. This Martele example is dated between 1931 and 1936. Unfortunately...Consolidated went bankrupt no less than three times during the Depression. They made outstanding consumer products, i.e. vases, bowls etc., and most outstanding shades and lighting. And everything that they made was the absolute BEST quality America had to offer to the world. Elaborating designs from the French Exposition Des Arts Decoratifs of 1925, they brought out some absolutely wonderful shade and fixture designs. They made shades for their own lighting line, and for other lighting manufacturers such as Moe Bridges. They were simply a great company. This chandelier comes from Consolidated's own Martele Line, and has a pewter-finished frame with five of their outstanding Martele shades. Overall Light Measurements: * Hang Height: 24" * Diameter: 17" This chandelier has been completely re-wired in our UL shop with new sockets to conform to UL guidelines. Each socket is capable of accepting a 100 watt bulb...but...we would recommend LED bulbs to protect the now older glass shades. Complete, UL rewired, scarce, five shade, Martele Chandelier by Consolidated Glass is valued at $1,925.00...plus careful shipping. $50.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

Very Scarce Virden Art Deco Chateau Sconces Being reluctant to use the word rare, since it is way overused in the antique business, let's just say that these sconces are very scarce indeed. Virden made them circa 1930 - 1935. They called the TWO fixtures that were in this line: Chateau (i.e. the Chateau Line). In only a few of their catalogs of that age is there ONE page that shows ONE chandelier (with two mounting options) and this sconce. That's it. Only two items in the line. Made in very limited numbers, this pair of sconces is very uncommon indeed. Information courtesy of the Kelly Art Deco Light Museum. The frames were always cast iron with what Virden called a Bank Bronze Finish. Bank Bronze is a red bronze finish with darkened accents. The finish of these sconces is gorgeous. The shade is a delicate muted amber, and MUCH taller than almost every other slip shade of the slip shade era. Virden also offered an opal shade, which they called Ivory, but our sconces came with these lovely muted amber shades. Virden was a larger company, so we do not know why this Chateau line is so scarce. Perhaps they dropped it during the Depression...perhaps there was a problem with the larger size of the shade for the smaller 20s-30s apartments of the era...or in the making of them due to their glass size. We just know...scarce. These are the very first Chateau sconces that we have ever sold. The only other known sconce and chandelier are in the Kelly Art Deco Light Museum. Measurements: * Height: 12 ¾" * Width: 6 ½" * Projection: 4 ¼" from the wall into the room. Electrical: These Chateau sconces have been totally re-wired in our UL shop. New normal sockets for everyday medium base bulbs have been installed in each sconce, along with a new rotary switch of the original kind. The sconces mount with one normal mounting all-thread to a normal electrical box. All mounting hardware will be supplied. For the complete pair of scarce Virden documented Chateau sconces: $1,485.00 plus 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.

Antique Original Lincoln 5 Light Low Ceiling Chandelier Outstanding original antique five light chandelier, circa 1935, made by Lincoln Lighting Products of Detroit,  More »

Antique Original Lincoln 5 Light Low Ceiling Chandelier Outstanding original antique five light chandelier, circa 1935, made by Lincoln Lighting Products of Detroit, Michigan. Art Deco lighting enthusiasts will recognize the shades as the same ones used on Lincoln's Fleur-de-Lis series, but this is a much scarcer light fixture. Yes, these are the correct shades for it. As curators of the only American Art Deco Lighting Museum, we are familiar with this lovely light. Note the design of the shade matching the design on the bowl. Perfect match. These were always designed to go together, and what a striking appeal it has too. This chandelier has been rewired in our UL shop, and it still has the ambiance of a 1930s light. Five new high-end sockets, with wiring, were installed. The finish of the self-colored aluminum frame is very nice. It has a lovely pewter contrast, as hopefully the pictures show. The details of the shades are outstanding. These shades were originally supplied both as a clear/frosted and orange/amber. Orange/amber is normally preferred, and was more expensive. This fixture's shades are in very good condition with some VERY minor flaking around the fitters, which is extremely hard to see unless you were right up to the light and looking very hard for them. Measurements: * Height: 14" from the ceiling to the bottom of the finial. * Diameter: 18 ½" (shade-tip to shade-tip) A full mounting kit will be provided, so there will be nothing else to buy...or do...before mounting this beauty. Price: $962.50 for the completely re-wired, UL approved, authentic Lincoln antique chandelier in great condition. Shipping is a bit extra. $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.
