Very impressive two light pendant, circa 1935, made by Lincoln Lighting Products of Detroit, Michigan. This light came from a series that was called the Triangle Line. Perhaps the name referred to the case design since the shade does not show any triangles. The light is attractive and a working two light fixture which can be difficult to find. The finish of the light is very good being self colored aluminum with a nice dark line in the cracks accenting the design of the light. The detail of the carved shades in this pendant is simply outstanding. These carved amber shades are simply remarkable for color and design and condition. Orange/amber is normally preferred when collecting art deco lighting...and you really have to go some distance to find nicer deeply carved amber shades than these. Measurements: This fixture measures 23 inches tall from the ceiling to the bottom of the finial and has a width of 12 1/2 inches. The ceiling canopy has a diameter of 5 1/2 inches. We will supply the bracket (crossbar) for this light so literally, you can hang this light and have it working minutes after receiving it. A rewired, authentic two light art deco pendant. Ready to hang. This light has been rewired and still has the ambiance of a 1930s light. New sockets, with new central lead wire, were installed. Each socket is capable of a 100 watt bulb.

Cast iron, painted polychrome five light chandelier made by Globe in the 1930s. Globe is a unique company and not as common as Lincoln or Markel but they did some very exciting things. Their brand name was Electrolier and while some folks assume that there was a company named Electrolier, it was simply a brand that Globe marketed and impressed into many of their castings. While the polychrome painting is pretty darn nice...there is a bit of an extra bonus in painting. When someone painted the ceiling, where this chandelier was living, they sort of missed a bit and added some paint to the ceiling canopy. I am sure with a bit of patience, most... if not all...of it will come off, but we like to supply antiques as found and will let the new owner decide removal methods. This chandelier is a five light which has been rewired with five new sockets and lead wire. Each socket can handle a 100 watt bulb, so 500 watts is quite possible with this light. The shades are in wonderful condition without any chips or cracks. NONE. Measurements: 15 inches from the top of the ceiling canopy to the bottom of the ceiling bowl. It has a diameter from shade tip to shade tip of 17 inches. For the proper decorative scheme, this would be an outstanding example of an Art Deco chandelier. Note the frame is beautifully cast of iron with nice detail and clarity of casting. 85% of the finish is just about mint. Rewired with new porcelain sockets and central lead wire and comes with a complete mounting kit...so.... this chandelier is ready to hang and begin life in a different art deco or bungalow atmosphere. Great for a lower ceiling with an overall height of only 15". Price: $750.00 plus shipping.   « Less

Circa 1930's, these sconces are finished in an oil rubbed bronze (near black) finish with brass highlights. They have an interesting opal shade with a clear waffle glass panel for that extra bit of light. An interesting thing about that waffle panel is that the shade does spin in it's fitter so the waffle panel can be turned sideways to focus more light on a face if the sconces were put to each side of a mirror. For that matter, the waffle can also be turned 180º to face the wall if it ever got to be annoying for some reason. Electrical: These sconces have been totally re-wired in our UL shop.
