(A) American white metal sconces

Art Deco floral motif, highly geometrical, emulating French design.

(B) American wall sconces with
a gold-painted finish and shades with an attractive, deep amber
color. The color is in the glass; the glass has a
design element meant to suggest a water fountain. Measurements:
about 10 high, 5 1/2 wide. $675 the pair. (e-mail

(C) Two-toned bronze backs and
one of the most sought after clear and amber shades! Now just
how long will these last in the shop? They're 10 high, 5 1/2
wide.
Look for these bronze beauties
in Dana's home! SOLD!!

(D) These cast aluminum backs have
been wheel-polished, giving these sconces a whole new lease on
life! They're about a foot tall and just over five inches wide.
$850 the pair. (e-mail

(G) These late 30's or 40's sconces
have handsome bronze-colored iron backs. I have a set of four,
and they're about 9 inches high, 6 wide. The shades are high
quality, probably Czechoslovakian cased glass, slightly opalescent
to give you that particularly warm and appealing glow. In this
photo the left sconce is lit. $475 the pair. (e-mail

(H) I've just landed four of these
beauties! They're about 9 inches high, about 6 wide, and the
patina is superb, a coppery bronze over cast iron. I've nickel-plated
two at this point, and they look seven thousand times better!
Bronze: $595 the pair; nickel: $795 the pair. (e-mail

(I) I've just had these Verden
sconces re-plated in brushed nickel, and as you can see they're
just elegant as a result, more "jewelry for the home!"
The design motif repeats on the shades, which have a small measure
of opalescence to them, thereby giving a warm glowing light when
lit.
Funny how the best stuff disappears!
SOLD!!!

(K) Plated white metal which looks
for all the world like gold! They could have started life in
the lounge of some "quaint" Midwest theater, for all
I know! $875 the pair. (e-mail

(L) Cute-attack time! Moderne simplicity,
freshly chromed. It's about 8 inches across, stands out from
the wall about 5 inches. There's one pair available.
Gone, but certainly not forgotten!!
SOLD!!!

(M) So, you're wondering where
the really good sconces are? Does this pair not take the
Machine Age cake? Cast aluminum bodies, with solid copper shades;
and, measuring a full 9 inches by nine inches, having that rare
ingredient: presence! These I could live with! $1900 the
pair. (e-mail

(N) I've got three of these French-inspired
American Deco sconces (four backs, but one shade missing). They're
handsome without making a screeching "Deco" statement!
One foot high by 4 1/2 inches wide, made of cast aluminum. $975
the pair. (e-mail

(O) These are a combination of
new and old. The works are old and original, but I had the shades
made, of solid copper (and lacquered), about 10 years ago. I'd
forgotten I had them squirreled away, and so here they are! Fourteen
and a half high, six inches wide, they're perfect for outdoors
or indoors. There are two porcelain sockets in each sconce, one
pointing the bulb up, the other down. Very dramatic
when lit! $950 the pair. (e-mail
