Stainless steel blades and "bone" handles (actually celluloid, as these date from 1930s-60s). There are seven of these English dinner knives, all the same blade, handle and ferrule shape. However, 5 of the knives are by George Butler & Co, Sheffield, and the other two are R.Wenborn, Cutlers, Oxford. There is a difference of 1 cm between the length of the Butler knives and the Wenborn knives, but believe me, you won't notice this when they are laid out on a dining table. Knives are 24.5 cm long and 23.5 cm long. All are in good sound condition. Some minor scuffing to the stainless steel, commensurate with just light use. Look upon this as a set of 6 knives with one spare.   « Less

This series of Art Deco lights was made by Markel Electric Products of Buffalo, NY, Circa 1936 (a key year in the height of the slip shade lighting era). These Art Deco Slip Shade sconces were the only sconces made for this series of slip shade lights. The original finish is simply superb, i.e....so near-mint condition. The shades, too, are simply in fantastic condition. Measurements: Height: 11" Width: 6 ¾" Projection: 3 ½" from the wall into the room. These sconces have been completely rewired with new sockets and all new wire. We have also replaced the switches, made by Leviton in the '20s...and still made up to two years ago. So these switches (by Leviton) are becoming even more antique as we note this. Ready to go...nothing needs to be done except add the light bulbs of your choice. $825.00 for the complete pair...plus $25.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

How fascinating this light is!! Lovely graceful sweeping lines with great detailed classical elements makes it a very pleasant fixture indeed. Circa 1920.

Normal candelabrum sockets for everyday candelabrum base bulbs have been installed. Measurements: Height: 28" Width: 10 ¾" maximum, with an average width of a little over 7" through the center.
