(A) I've outfitted these totally fabulous wrought iron sconces with new fabric (they undoubtedly had fabric inserts to begin with), which amplifies their rather Seccessionist look, n'est-ce pas? They're 14 inches wide, project about 6 inches from the wall, and are about 8 inches high. In other words, as subtle as they are, they have PRESENCE! (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 (B) The shades on these fanciful sconces are quite special, something that doesn't translate via mere photograph. The metal has its own qualities, from the gentle curve at the top to the cascading flowers on the back plate. They measure about 14 inches top-to-bottom. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

(C) Offering a smashing pair of French sconces by Degué (unsigned but guaranteed), with freshly brushed nickel-plated wrought iron frames. Approximate dimensions, 9 inches high by 8 1/2 wide. Great design work on the metal! (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

(D) Sublimely gorgeous. Breathtaking! Original glass panels (sassy little skirts) hanging from their nickel-plated bronze mounts. Each outfitted with one American standard-sized socket, and of course your eye won't see the bulb quite the way the camera does (thankfully). Mary stepped up for these legendary sconces, and is she thrilled! SOLD!!
(E) Are you wild enough for these rockin' 50s sconces? STAR material, to be sure! (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
(F) Modernist to the max! Positively sleek, elegant "up" lights which will lend that dramatic touch you've but dreamed about having in your living or dining room. They'll be a breeze to install (two screws each). Just have your electrician fit your electrical box with a light socket or two, and voila! In standard French high-quality manufacture, they're chrome-plated brass, in superb condition. They've got terrific presence, being about 15 inches wide. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
(G) 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. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
(H) Shown here in its flush-mount overhead light mode, but it makes a KILLER wall sconce. And better yet, I have an exact pair! They're top-notch French construction and design, which is why I used them in my own home for years (I moved). They're about 8 inches across, four inches deep. Holophane's secret: the glass design actually enhances the light while diffusing it at the same time. Who, may I ask, but the French? They're used all over the world, in stadiums, you name it. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
(I) Now these were tough to photograph, so I'm including other views. You have to imagine them on the wall, at or slightly above the plane of your eyesight, so you don't see the interior of the rectangle. On the bottom of each sconce is a frosted panel of glass, and another copper decorative element below it. I have three of these, two exactly matching, one slightly shallower. Including the shades, dimensions are: 15 1/2 wide, 8 1/2 deep, about 6 high. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
