Lovely pair of Circa 1930 Streamline design wall sconces. Original backplates and original shades. The contrasting metals of the backplates just scream "Streamline Deco"  More »

Lovely pair of Circa 1930 Streamline design wall sconces. Original backplates and original shades. The contrasting metals of the backplates just scream "Streamline Deco" to the max. The contrasting cast iron frame with the nickel plated steel elements are so very striking. Naturally, with 80 or so years of life, the nickel is not perfect and has very minor imperfections. Just goes with the age. But even these age marks are not serious and do not affect the overall impact of the sconces. These sconces have been completely re-wired with all new sockets and wired to UL standards. The switch is below the fitter cup holding the shade instead of on the backplate, adding to the attractiveness of the lights. Mounting hardware will be supplied as shown. Measurements: The Overall sconce height is 9". The maximum width is 6 1/2", which is the shade width. It will project from the wall 7". $350.00 for the pair... plus shipping.   « Less

Pair of sconces....Venus arising from the sea motif. Solid brass with cut glass shades included. Made from solid brass and re-wired to accept 100 watt bulbs. Mounts with a special crossbar that picks up mounting screws at the very top and the very bottom of the backplate. We assume that that this was done to prevent holes being drilled in the center of the motif. Overall Light Measurements: Height: 12", Width: 6 1/2", Projection: 9".

Art Deco Slip Shade Chandelier by a firm in Cleveland, Ohio called: The Frankelite Co. Frankelite had a logo which was a stylized "F" in a diamond device and issued their products under the trade name of "F" Diamond Lighting Equipment. This light, Circa 1933, was part of their "Fenwick Series". This chandelier was Model 1255. Their 1930s catalog says it has a spread of 21". Frankelite was a rather small firm that very little is known about. We have a few examples of their work, and they are always rather unique and attractive stand alone lights. The name and date of these fixtures has been verified by literature from the company as 1933. Authentic Art Deco, Slip Shade, polychrome painted 5 shade chandelier. The finish, while being cleaned up "a mite," is original and simply beautiful to the max. You cannot find a much better slip shade chandelier than this one. Wonderful condition. The shades are simply a treat and in remarkable condition. Probably made by Consolidated Glass or another quality glass house. We re-wired it in our UL shop and it was simply neat to work with a nice chandelier like this one. Measurements: The overall hang height is 28" but it could be shortened another 2" by removing chain links. The fixture has a spread of about 21". This fixture can be lengthened or shortened by adding, or subtracting, chain links. Price: $1,200.00 plus shipping   « Less

A double-hanging kerosene fluid lamp from the late Victorian or early Edwardian era. Circa 1880 to 1900. This quality light had a great reservoir in the center of the light which was easy to fill and long lasting. There is also some storage on each burner array. Would guess that this light was popular in a retail shop environment since the burner size is large and the duration was significant. Other locations could be kitchens, restaurants, hallways or offices. Amazing that it has survived the various modernisations over the years. We have not touched the original finish and it is still the way we obtained it. The oil burners have been converted to electric some years ago by others so the clear glass funnels are gone but the shades remain nicely in their original holders. We actually had to re-wire this light since the older conversion wiring was due for change. Measurements: Price: $595.00 which includes the shades. Shipping is extra.   « Less

Older Arts & Crafts (Craftsman) low ceiling lighting fixture. At this time, two of these are available and we are very pleased with their condition. Circa 1920-40, the slag glass panels are in great shape. The steel frame has aged and is rustic in nature. We have not touched it and believe it should be left alone, but the final decision would be the customer's. Measurements: These hexagonal fixtures measure 15" wide across the flats and 17 1/2" across the points. The fixture is a mere 7 1/4" in height. Each fixture contains two light bulbs. There is a note inside the housing that recommends not to exceed 150 watts per bulb. There is also an aluminum reflector inside the housing to reflect & boost the power of each light bulb which we think is pretty clever. Nicely done. The bottom panel is secured with two fitter screws. When unscrewed, the bottom, which is on a hinge, opens to reveal an easy re-lamping format. These lights have all been re-wired in our UL shop and are ready for installation. Price: $295.00 which includes the art glass panels. Shipping is extra.   « Less

It is has a 5" maximum width and projects a mere 4" from the wall. The socket can handle up to a 100 watt incandescent bulb.

Lovely pair of Circa 1920 wall sconces. Original backplates and original shades. These sconces have a formal Edwardian ambiance having a pewter look but with a more restrained backplate design that is so typical of the Edwardian design style. Almost reminds you of an Art Nouveau, but, not quite. The original shades are simply unique. We believe them to be English as they are made of the finest glass, and then hand decorated with a bit of decal and painted designs. We believe the shades to be English since the mounting hole has a metal adapter to convert the hole normally used in England for their bayonet pin socket, an alternative to our American method of slip-in shades used at this time. There are very MINOR flakes to the shades. It is normal 90 year wear and tear, so very minor, but we have to mention it. The metal of the backplates is cast zinc and aluminum with a lovely pewter finish. Ready to go...nothing needs to be done except add the light bulbs of your choice. These sconces have been completely rewired with true bakelite sockets and all new wire. We have also replaced the switches, made by Leviton in the 20's...and still made up to ONE year ago. So these switches by Leviton are becoming more rare as we note this. Measures: 10" high, 4 3/4" wide at widest point; projects 5 1/4" from wall. Price: $ 325.00 for the complete pair plus shipping   « Less

Monumental "Knight's Helmet" light. Circa 1920+. It has a nice old-gold and black contrasting color scheme. The lovely, hand-blown opaline glass shade is simply gorgeous. It measures a whopping 14" diameter at the top and borders on 14" tall as well. Overall...as pictured...the light has a total drop of 42". It could be lengthened or shortened just slightly by adding/removing the 4 lateral chains. We completely rewired this wonderful light completing the UL standards with the addition of a copper ground wire. The socket we installed is a mogul socket. This could be used for bulbs up to and including 500 watts...but we liked the idea of installing our 40 watt "Induction Light Bulb" which gives out a 264 incandescent watt equivalency for only 40 watts of electricity draw. And it lasts thousands of hours longer than incandescent bulbs. It is included in the price of the light. Measurements: The overall chandelier height is 42". The maximum width is 16". $984.50 each (complete with shade and Induction Light bulb) ... plus shipping.   « Less
