(A) Something great goes out, something
great comes in, that's how it is around here... And so these
INCREDIBLE Schneider sconces have just arrived, the wrought iron
back plates having just returned from the plater, where they
were given the brushed nickel treatment. I was too excited to
wait until I'd done my famous patina, and so I photographed them
as you see them; but they'll look even better soon (and that's
all done now, and they look PERFECT)! They're 7 1/2 wide, 15
high, and they project six inches. $2300 the pair. (e-mail

(B) Hey, look what I scored during
set-up at the recent Art Deco Show here in San Francisco!!! Just
when I thought all sets of four were history. These magnificent
visitations on the theme of the giant clamshell are LARGE,
large enough for your private screening room. And a set of
FOUR!! The glass is in near-perfect condition (one very small
chip on the bottom of one glass), and the metal, which so nicely
contours the glass, has been freshly redone in satin nickel.
They're 16 1/2 inches wide, 6 high, and they project nine inches.
As you can plainly see, the bottom of the glass is frosted, the
middle clear, and the top frosted. Tres chic, n'est-ce pas?
$5600 the set of four. (e-mail

(C) These ever-so-busy, ever-so-nimble
hands have just created these smashing wall sconces... Which
is to say, I took an old 1920's French sconce back and recast
it in solid bronze, then had it nickel-plated and then created
my magic patina. I also recast a beautiful old shade holder and
did the same, and then added these signed Muller shades (old
and original, also from France). Voila! Eight and a half
inches top-to-bottom, with a four-inch wide shade. The back itself
is three inches wide at its widest point. I have four such shades
left, but lots of other gorgeous French shades which would suitably
accompany these sconce backs. So, for a change you can just "place
your order for as many as you need!" Order well ahead, as
it takes two months or more to get a pair done from start to
finish...$1795 the pair. (e-mail

(D) I've got a set of six of these
world class sconces... by "Robert" (but unsigned).
Dimensions: 12 inches high and about 7 wide, with a projection
of 7 inches. $1900 per pair. (e-mail

(E) I'll have to admit, I can barely
believe it myself, but I have a set of six of these luscious
Degue (the glass is signed) sconces! They're quite substantial,
with a height of 13 inches, a width of 11, and a projection of
7 inches. Like the Robert sconces above, they're freshly plated
in brushed nickel. In this instance, I had one original back
plate and had it recast in bronze, then nickel-plated. $2400
each pair. (e-mail

(F) A pair (only one shown) of
solid brass French sconces, just re-plated in a voluptuously
soft brushed nickel, measuring 12 inches across, 6 top to bottom.
$2100 the pair. (e-mail

(H) I have a pair of these unusual
and handsome French sconces with cylindrical Degue shades perched
in their freshly nickel-plated wrought iron mounts. These measure
15 1/2 wide, 5 1/2 top to bottom, nice size! These are the side
shades that adorn one of Degue's most coveted chandeliers. $2400
the pair. (e-mail

(I) A pair of French sconces by
Degue, wrought iron frames, approximate dimensions 11x7, freshly
nickel-plated and patinated. Nice work on the metal! $2200 the
pair. (e-mail

(J) Here are two solid copper Moderne
French wall sconces, each outfitted with discs of that ever-so-warm
French peach glass which is the better part of a half-inch thick!
The"shades" are a candle-style, opalescent white glass,
which cover a thin tubular bulb (reconfigured for American candelabra
bulbs). They're quite chic! Of course it's impossible to show
in a mere photograph, but when lit they're quite stunning...
and "unusual" isn't a strong enough word. If the cat's
got your tongue, and you're looking for a conversation piece,
this could be the high-water mark of your career. They measure
about a foot high, about 11 inches wide. $1750 the pair. (e-mail
