Art Deco "Nile" chandelier by Lincoln Mnf, from a family called “The Nile Group," circa 1935. An original antique chandelier with original antique glassware, but fully re-wired in our UL shop to be code compliant and UL approved. Lincoln was an aluminum foundry that only offered a couple of finishes for their fixtures. One was gold highlights (as demonstrated by this chandelier), or completely covered with gold. The accent technique is, in our opinion, far more attractive, and of the period. Old gold is ageless, and not bracketed for a period or style. The casting technique for the reticulated panels is simply great. Even Sears sold this fixture, and can be found in the Sears lighting catalogs of the times. Simply elegant, and quality to the maximum. We took our picture with a mere 15 watt bulb so the camera lens would focus on the entire chandelier and shade detail...not get blown out by the strong bulb. This chandelier has have been completely rewired in our UL shop with new sockets and all new wire. It will be supplied with all the necessary mounting hardware. Measurements: •Height: 29" •Width: 22" Price includes shades: $962.50 plus $50.00 for careful packing and Ground Shipping to addresses within the contiguous 48 states.

Very nice two light, slip shade, Art Deco pendant by Mid West Mnf. The decorative elements of this two light pendant are really quite nice. There's a crackle surface finish in old gold, surrounded by elements of nickel plating, complete with a tapered deco center motif. Mid-West really did know how to design iconic fixtures, and this one has a taste of step-deco with the restrained features of Streamline design. Circa 1934 - 1937, it does appear in their literature as the Empire design. The family consisted of a 6 shade chandelier (with a couple of different stem configurations); a three light chandelier; this two light pendant; and then wall sconces. We have just received a pair of wall sconces which will be restored and available later. We have rewired the pendant to UL standards with new sockets in our UL shop. So, it's ready to hang with a standard light mounting kit which we will supply. Measurements: •Height: 21" •Body: 9 3/8" x 6 ¾" Price: $852.50 for this pendant, complete with its NEAR-MINT condition shades, plus $35.00 for Ground Shipping to addresses within the contiguous 48 states.

Mid-West was a top-of-the-line manufacturer who, in their beginning, only cast solid bronze lights that were exceedingly difficult due to their reticulated surfaces.  More »

Mid-West was a top-of-the-line manufacturer who, in their beginning, only cast solid bronze lights that were exceedingly difficult due to their reticulated surfaces. Casting reticulations, as any casting man will tell you, is darn difficult. Casting material just doesn't feed a reticulated casting fully unless the gating is extremely accurate, and the skill very precise. So...here we have a pair of top- of-the-line, near-mint sconces in solid bronze, circa 1935. Their crackle-glass shades are a little rough where they go into the fitters, but not noticeable when installed. A reference to Mid-West talks about a board meeting held during the Depression, where some members of the board argued to change their materials from bronze to cheaper offerings, since they were afraid that customers would not be available to purchase the higher-end lighting that they made due to the financial downturn of the Depression. The Mid-West CEO/President denied the idea of substituting and stated that there are always people with money. While they did not stop casting fabulous bronze lights, they did add an aluminum line to compete with Lincoln Mnf, who was selling to Sears. Sears customers, during the Depression, would not normally come up to the pricing level of Bronze Materials. The CEO was correct. Mid-West survived the Depression, and was sold a few years back to a large lighting conglomerate (information courtesy of the Kelly Art Deco Lighting Museum). We have re-wired these sconces to UL standards with new sockets in our UL shop. Each sconce has a rotary switch. They are ready to hang with a standard light mounting kit, which we will supply. Measurements: •Height: 15" •Width: 6 ½" •Projection: 5" from the wall into the room. Price: $1,485.00 for the pair with their crackle glass shades, plus $25.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

ANT-475 Pair of Art Deco Antique Polychrome Wall Sconces from the Victorian Line by Gill Gill was a bit of an Art Deco rebel. He did not like angular Art Deco lines. He actually wrote papers criticizing the departure from traditional Victorian/Edwardian lines to what he considered a lazy design with straight lines. (Courtesy of Kelly Art Deco Light Museum) So...here we have a pair of his sconces that in his catalog, circa 1935, were actually named the Victorian Line. You can see some great pictures on page 312, in Book I, Lighting Fixtures of the Depression Era by Jo Ann Thomas. While there are mistakes in her books...the catalog pages are still neat to see. The condition of these Gill sconces is simply wonderful. The ORIGINAL polychrome colors are just that...original...and only so gently cleaned up. They are really GOOD!! The shades are amber in color, and in very respectable condition. Don't like where Gill Co. put the mold separation of the shade...right down the center...but that is original too...so not much we can do about it. Still, a remarkable conditioned pair of truly antique...near-mint condition...Gill sconces. We have rewired these sconces to UL standards with new sockets in our UL shop. Each sconce has a rotary switch. So,these are ready to hang with a standard light mounting kit which we will supply. Measurements: •Height: 10 5/8" •Width: 5 ½" •Projection: 6 ½" from the wall into the room. The lights have been rewired with standard household medium base E26 sockets, which can use either incandescent, compact fluorescent or LED light bulbs. If using incandescent bulbs, we recommend using no more than 60 - 65 watts to protect the fragile antique shades from excessive heat. Price: $935.00 for the pair with their original shades, plus $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.

Mid-West was a top-of-the-line manufacturer, who in their beginning, only cast solid bronze lights that were exceedingly difficult due to their reticulated surfaces. A bit later during the Depression, they added a white metal capacity to compete with Lincoln Mnf, who had the business of Sears. During the Depression, Sears customers would NOT normally come up to the pricing level of Bronze Materials, so Mid-West created exciting new aluminum lines to compete. Mid-West survived the Depression, and was sold a few years back to a large lighting conglomerate. (Information courtesy of the Kelly Art Deco Lighting Museum.) These sconces are Bronzed & Nickel FINISHED on cast aluminum. Like an old Persian carpet, some mellowed wear to the bronze finish is there, but still an outstanding pair of antique Art Deco sconces with mint condition frosted shades. We have re-wired these sconces to UL standards with new sockets in our UL shop. Each sconce has a rotary switch. They are ready to hang with a standard light mounting kit, which we will supply. Measurements: •Height: 11 ½" •Width: 6 ½" •Projection: A mere 4" from the wall into the room. These sconces can be fitted with either incandescent or LED bulbs. For incandescent bulbs, we recommend using no more than 60 to 65 watts to protect the fragile antique shades from excessive heat. Price: $935.00 for the pair with their frosted, near-mint glass shades, plus $25.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

Fantastic Art Deco 1930s chandelier. This is such an unusual light, it is hard to find a place to start. First, it is a 6 light fixture. Five of the lights are on the outside on the arms (in the gorgeous amber shades), and one is in the center behind the fine cut-glass center panels. This center socket gives you three options for décor. You can use an amber light bulb...or a plain frosted tube light bulb...or even shut it off, since the 3 way switch at the bottom of the light turns the center light bulb on and off. This chandelier has been re-wired in our UL lamp shop with new sockets and wire to UL standards. Each new socket can easily take a 100 watt bulb giving a total of 600 watts of light if so desired. Of course, LED bulbs are neat too. Going that extra mile...that we like to do...the rotary switch near the bottom finial, is what is called a three-way switch. It allows you to turn the center light on ONLY (night light)...or turn the five shades outside ONLY...or turn both the inside and outside lights on together. This ability to vary the lighting gives lots of decorating possibilities. The five cut glass center panels are just plain gorgeous. They slip in from the top, and I am pleased to say that they are in mint condition with so little roughness that it is not worth discussing. Compare the design in the center panels to the design on the arms holding the shades, and you will notice that they match...and the scrolls on the glass panels also match the scrolls on the metal supports. All so very nice. The shades for each of the arms, while being lovely mellow amber, are also in outstanding condition with only the most minor of roughness. The metal of the chandelier is, I believe, aluminum with some iron and steel for the main fixture metals, which has a nice ambiance of a pewter finish. All a very nice appearance. We had one of these about 3 years ago...its shades were darker, but it still sold quickly. The buyer was delighted, and we can see why...what a statement it makes! Measurements: •Overall Height: 24" •Overall Diameter: 18" Price: $1,375.00, which includes all the shades and lovely center panels. $50.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

Original antique sconces with an original antique brass finish. The metal framed amber shades are really quite lovely when lit with nice contrasting crystal drops below. With a strong bulb, they give an ambiance that is just lovely. Not easy to find quality like this. The contrast of the BRASS body is quite striking. These sconces have a rich formality, and yet just have so much nice detail. So unusual and so striking. We took our picture with a mere 15 watt bulb so the camera lens would focus on the entire sconce and shade detail...not get blown out by too strong of bulb. These sconces have been completely re-wired in our UL shop with new medium base, normal, porcelain sockets and all new wire. A mounting kit will be supplied.

Original older sconces with an original antique BRASS hi/lo finish. We believe the original maker was French, since it had European sockets in it when obtained. However, the placement of the sockets was pitiful for light output because it left large dark patches throughout the fixture. So...we changed that. Instead of two sockets (original fixture), it now has four sockets for chandelier bulbs. The new layout is two sockets in the top section and two sockets in the bottom section, for a total of 8 bulbs in two sconces. We are showing the sconces with our LED bulbs. LED bulbs are included with the purchase of these fixtures, and the bulbs are 2700°K bulb color...which is considered identical to incandescent light bulb color. Please note our picture of the LED bulb included with these sconces. The contrast of the BRASS body is quite striking. These sconces have a rich formality, and yet just have so much good detail. As mentioned, these sconces have been completely re-wired in our UL shop with normal candelabrum base, porcelain sockets and all new wire. A mounting kit will be supplied. Measurements: Height: 14" overall. Width: 9" (maximum) Projection: 4 ¼" from the wall into the room. Price for the pair with eight LED bulbs: $1,375.00 plus $50.00 for careful packing and Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.
