ANT-525 Art Deco Mid-West Mnf. Top-of-the-Line Six Light Chandelier with Original Shades This chandelier was the best from the line that Mid-West called: The Beverly. Nice design, which has the more Streamline motif of the 1936 Deco era. The finish is old gold finish with nickel accents. Very striking. This fixture could be lengthened by adding chain links. The chandelier has been totally rewired with high grade sockets, and new central lead wire. Sockets are UL approved for up to 100 watts for the outside slip shades. If incandescent light bulbs are to be used, we recommend using a conservative 60 - 65 watts to protect the fragile antique glass shades from excessive heat. There is one socket for each slip shade, and two sockets for the bottom disk, which takes smaller bulbs. Measurements: * Height: 22" tall. Can be lengthened for your project by adding chain links for a small additional cost. * Diameter: 19" Comes complete with shades, and ready to hang. Price: $984.50, plus $50.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

ANT-527 American Pair of Truly Iconic Art Deco Design Sconces Circa 1930s, these sconces are finished in an oil rubbed bronze (near black) finish with highlights. The sconces have interesting opal shade, which has a simple band of rings near the rim. The shade is rather short, so a large light bulb will protrude. We suggest using a short profile LED light bulb, such as a type A15 or S14 with an E26 base. We will include two short LED bulbs as a courtesy. Electrical: The sconces have been totally re-wired in our UL shop, with normal bakelite sockets for everyday medium base bulbs. The backplate has a rotary switch for on and off. The sconce mounts with one normal sconce mounting all-thread to a normal electrical box from within the case. All mounting hardware will be supplied. One backplate has a minor imperfection (with a repair), which is hardly noticeable, but must be mentioned. It does not distract from the overall affect of these sconces. Measurements: Height: 8 ½" Width: 4 ½" (maximum) Projection: 5" from the wall into the room. For the complete, UL re-wired pair of sconces: $423.50 plus $25.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

ANT-534 Unusual Art Deco Odeon Style British Motif Theatre Sconces A very neat shell motif set of the British theater sconces from England. These sconces are often called "Odeon Sconces," since one of the main movie house chains in Britain named all their theaters "Odeon". They vary in style...most popular was THIS shell motif. In older British theaters, you can still see them existing where they have been for over half a century or more. Odeon is sometimes a synonymous term for a movie theater in Britain. "Let's go to the Odeon" is the same as saying, "let's go to the movies." There are two things that make this particular pair of Odeon sconces different and unusual. First...the shades are TRUE OPAL color. We have never had opal shades in Odeon sconces before. We have seen frosted, amber, pink, and even green...but never opal. Secondly, each sconce has an array of three E12 (chandelier style) sockets. Usually, these sconces have only ONE socket. The result of having three sockets is a nice, even lighting effect, which is simply lovely through the opal shades. The sconces have brass frames with an antiqued red bronze finish. We have rewired these sconces to UL American standards with new American chandelier sockets in our UL shop. We installed our cute LED chandelier bulbs in each sconce, and will leave them in for the next owner, as we just think that these give the perfect ambiance. So, these are ready to hang with an American standard light mounting kit which we will also supply. Measurements: * Height: 8 ½" * Width: 10" * Projection: 4 ½" from the wall into the room. As mentioned, these fine sconces use chandelier bulbs, either incandescent or LEDs. In this case, we are including 6 pcs. of our LED bulbs for these high-end sconces. Price: $715.00 for this great pair of UL rewired Odeon sconces with opal shades and triple sockets...plus $25.00 for careful packing and 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.

ANT-541 Fantastic Art Deco Streamline Sconces with Black Line Step Shades Really, have not seen a pair of sconces with a more fantastic Streamline Design than these  More »

ANT-541 Fantastic Art Deco Streamline Sconces with Black Line Step Shades Really, have not seen a pair of sconces with a more fantastic Streamline Design than these beauties. Wish we knew who made them, but so scarce, no literature could be found, even though we spent considerable time in our museum library. History: we originally received four of these sconces from a building that was rumored to be a money management office before the Depression..but..folded DURING the Depression. Wouldn't it be interesting if these sconces could talk? Must have been some interesting conversations of that time, in that area. We received four...BUT...only two could be salvaged. The other two looked like they were hit by hammers, and were badly dented. Additionally, we also only received three shades...one of those three was badly damaged. The result...ONE restoreable PAIR, and they are here presented. Outstanding Art Deco Streamline design is presented with this pair of sconces. Circa 1920 - 1930. Construction is by mixed metals and nickel plating. We did completely disassemble each sconce for cleaning, and then polished them for preservation, since they were coated with paint drips, stains and storage gunk. We have rewired these sconces to UL American standards with new sockets in our UL shop. Each sconce contains a normal UL approved porcelain medium base socket capable of 150 watts. But, in the interest of the antique glassware...we would use lower wattage bulbs. We also replaced the original rotary switches which are tucked into the area behind the shade and cannot be seen. So, these are ready to hang with a standard light mounting kit which we will also supply. Measurements: * Height: 10 ½" * Width: 7" * Projection: 7 ½" from the wall into the room. Price: $1,375.00 for this outstanding pair of UL rewired Streamline sconces with their great Streamline design, and stepped, black line, opal shades...plus $25.00 for careful shipping charges to addresses 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.

ANT-540 Antique Art Deco Streamline Design Slip Shade Sconces Art Deco Streamline design is presented with this pair of sconces. Circa 1936 or so, they are iconic for  More »

ANT-540 Antique Art Deco Streamline Design Slip Shade Sconces Art Deco Streamline design is presented with this pair of sconces. Circa 1936 or so, they are iconic for Streamline design and minimalism in lighting. Often confused with commercial sconces, they do have that minimal function that could be confused...however...matches well with other simple Streamline designs. While the sconce frames have been thoroughly cleaned, there is some deterioration to the metal BEHIND the shades. This reflects their age, and probably the way they were stored for 60 to 80 years. Luckily...the visible parts of these sconces are maintained rather well. The heavy, thick shades are amber in color, and in great condition. Measurements: * Height: 8 ½" * Width: 5" * Projection: 3 ¾" from the wall into the room. We have rewired these sconces to UL American standards with new sockets in our UL shop. We also replaced the rotary switches at the bottom of the sconce. So, these are ready to hang with a standard light mounting kit, which we will also supply. Sockets are rated for up to 100 watts, but we recommend a conservative 60 - 65 watts if incandescent light bulbs will be used. This will help protect the fragile slip shades from excessive heat, which could potentially damage them. If more light is needed, compact fluorescent or LED light bulbs are a good substitute...these efficient bulbs operate at cooler temperatures, but emit more lumens per watt consumed. Price: $715.00 for this great pair of UL rewired sconces, with their great Streamline design and amber slip shades...plus $25.00 for careful shipping charges to addresses 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.
