A very neat shell motif British theater chandelier from England. This chandelier, and sconces that match it, are often called "Odeon Lights" since one of the a main movie house chains in Britain, named all their theaters "Odeon". In fact..."Odeon" is sometimes a synonymous term for a movie theater. i.e "go to the Odeon". This chandelier was used with frosted, amber and even pink tinted shades around the turn of the century. In older British theaters, you can still see them existing where they have been for over half a century or more.We have rewired this chandelier to UL American standards with a new American center socket cluster for three bulbs. One bulb lights each shade so 300 watts can be achieved with this chandelier if you use 100 watt bulbs. With its standard socket, you can also use "spiral" CF bulbs, or our LED bulbs for great energy savings.The chandelier is ready to hang with an American standard light mounting kit which we will supply. Measures: 18" tall to the bottom of the finial with a width of 14 1/2". Price: $ 650.00 for the chandelier complete with the amber shades shown, plus shipping charges.

What an interesting pair of sconces these are. While they are simply lovely, they are also a bit of a puzzle. They could have been custom made since the shades are Circa  More »

What an interesting pair of sconces these are. While they are simply lovely, they are also a bit of a puzzle. They could have been custom made since the shades are Circa 1920-30 crackle glass, but the steel and iron fixtures seem more recent. The shades are hand blown "art" form and are slightly different shapes and sizes. Each one fits its own sconce. This is another reason we believe that these were hand made, for a particular place for a particular client. Regardless of how they came into being.....the decorative effect is stunning. Ready to go...nothing needs to be done except add the light bulb. These sconces have been completely rewired and are supplied with all the mounting hardware. Each sconce does have its own switch which is identical to the ones used in 1910. It's hard to tell it was even replaced. Measurements: The Overall sconce height is 15 ½". The back plate measures 3" wide x 11" tall. The widest width is the shades which...depending on where you measure them, will vary. But a maximum of 7 ½" is about the widest. The project into the room from the wall about 8 ½". Price: $325.00 for the pair, plus shipping.   « Less
