Very nice pair of circa 1924 wall sconces. The reason we are saying "1924" is that they are signed on the back as follows: "Design Pat 4-1-24 Made in U.S.A" Unique sconces  More »

Very nice pair of circa 1924 wall sconces. The reason we are saying "1924" is that they are signed on the back as follows: "Design Pat 4-1-24 Made in U.S.A" Unique sconces since they are so well signed and documented. The gorgeous quality shades are signed "Lightolier" where they slip into the fitter. The metal of the backplates is normal white metal with a lovely pewter finish. The castings are crisp and obvious of very fine quality. The lovely shaped drop in shades are simply so unique both as to shape and decor. They even have a slight iridescence to them, which is very attractive. Being original shades, nearly 90 yrs old, minor "NEVER SEEN" flakes are where the shades are slipped into the fitters. These sconces have been completely rewired with true Bakelite sockets; new switches (which are identical to the 1930's types by Leviton) and wire. Everything here, both shades and backplates, are original. The mounting nut in the center of the backplate is an exact reproduction since the originals were missing when we received the sconces. Very minor indeed. Sockets are rewired, UL approved for up to 100 watts each. Measurements: Max overall height of 12". Max width: 5 ½" It will project into the room, from the wall a mere 5 1/2". Price: $325.00 for the pair, plus shipping.   « Less

Interesting wrought aluminum Arts & Crafts pair of sconces. Circa 1920 or so...very interesting offering having DEEP hammered pewter finish. We are especially impressed by the way that the shades match the backplates. It is hard to see in the pictures, but that large tan area below the embossed floral clear decor band, is crackled or hammered rough finish to match the finish of the backplates. Hard to see in the pictures but very impressive. Completely rewired to UL Standards and ready to go. Each sconce does have a switch which has been replaced by the same maker "Leviton" who made the same switch at the turn of the century. Measurements: 13" tall. The widest part of the sconce is the shade that is 6" wide. It will project into a room a mere 6 1/2". Price: $350.00 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. 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. Pair of American made late 30's sconces. Measurements: 7 1/2" tall. The backplate's round area has a maximum width of 3 3/4". Projects into a room from the wall 5".
