Lovely circa 1936 Streamline chandelier. Original antique chandelier, with original antique shades. Note how the shade fitters sweep up and hold the tapered shades so nicely. The rim of the fitter has been nicely reticulated, with design, to make the shade seem to mold right into the fixture. A very nice touch indeed. The frame is a contrast between black and nickel plating, as shown in the pictures. The frame is showing its age, like a good Persian carpet, but in no way can it be considered in bad condition. It simply is mellowed out after all these years. Nickel plating is more mellow than hard chrome, and gives a more aged ambiance to the fixture. The shades are custard glass with a simple pattern, and match the round areas of the frame quite well. They are in excellent condition. This chandelier has been completely re-wired, with new sockets and all new wire, in our UL shop. Measurements: The overall height is 22”. The overall diameter is 20 1/2”, measured from the outside edge of one shade, to the outside edge of the shade opposite. $935.00 for this neat chandelier, plus $50.00 for careful packaging and shipping within the contiguous 48 states. Residents of Alaska/Hawaii and International Customers: shipping will be quoted and invoiced per order. Please contact us if you would like a shipping quote before purchase. We will be happy to oblige!   « Less

Lovely pair of wall sconces. Original antique backplates and original antique shades. These sconces have a close-to-Streamline appearance, with a slightly earlier Deco touch to the bottom of the backplates. The pewter color backplates have nice brass accents, but the more restrained backplate design is so typical of the late Deco design style, i.e. more like Streamline Art Deco. The shades are a nice reeded custard glass, with small beads running along with the reeding. They match the straight line ambiance of the fixtures quite well. They are in excellent condition. The metal of the backplates is cast iron, 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 re-wired with new sockets and all new wire in our UL listed workshop. Please note that the switches for these lights are directly below the shades. They are part of the socket, and make an integral part of the light. They are a rotary style deco switch used from about 1910 onward. Measurements: The overall sconce height is 8 1/2”. The maximum width (which is the shade) is 6”. It will project into the room from the wall 7”. The backplate measures 4 1/2” wide by 8 1/2” tall. $357.50 for the complete pair... plus $25.00 for careful packaging and shipping within the contiguous 48 states. Residents of Alaska/Hawaii and International Customers, shipping costs will be invoiced separately. If you would like a shipping quote before purchase, please contact us.

Lovely pair of wall sconces. Original antique backplates and old shades. These sconces have a shield style backplate topped with a design reminiscent of a mock crown. The design is re-echoed in the fitter and the top of the shade for a nice cohesive appearance. A pewter look with brass accented backplates. The hand blown shades are nice, with just the slightest touch of cut pattern that is hard to see the pictures. They are in excellent condition. The metal of the backplates is cast iron with a lovely pewter finish. Ready to go...nothing needs to be done except to add the light bulbs of your choice. These sconces have been completely re-wired with new sockets and all new wire in our UL listed workshop. Note that we used the old fashioned rylon twisted wire, which is visible since it runs along the curved arms. It becomes part of the decorative aspects of the sconces. Since the shade is so tall, we think it is effective to use those long tubular bulbs that fit into desk lamps. They are called T10 bulbs, and are readily available in a 60 watt or less size. Measurements: The overall sconce height is 11”. The maximum width is 4 1/4”. It will project into the room from the wall 5 1/2”. The backplate measures 4 1/4” wide by 10” tall. $350.00 for the complete pair...plus $25.00 for careful packaging and shipping within the contiguous 48 states.
