(A) Just acquired, a full set of
SIX French wrought iron sconces with very pleasing design elements
such as the wonderful twist on the bottom of the candle-holder.
These project eight inches and are about three inches wide. The
height, with the candle as shown (it could be cut down some,
and/or a narrower candle could be employed), is about 11 inches.
Obviously you'd have the choice of using a bare flame-type bulb
or a clamp-on shade. In any case these are particularly fetching!
$1200 the set of six. (e-mail

(B) Foo-foo, meet Froo-froo. Gilded
brass with a corkscrew pattern, a most interesting configuration...
with acid-etched, iridescent shades with all the Art Nouveau
trimmings, very hard to find...
Harder to find than ever, now
that they're SOLD!!!
|
(C) Eggshell-thin opalescent shades,
each a delicate jewel itself. Whimsical nickle-plated brass sconces,
probably from the Victorian era. If you have children under 35
you're not allowed to buy these! $950 the pair. (e-mail

(D) And look what just popped out
of the back room... two fine French wrought iron wall sconces
with signed Degue shades! Deep purples and bits of green, a light
pinkish-purple throughout the rest of the shade. The wrought
iron is beautifully worked, every inch of it. These measure about
11 top-to-bottom, they protrude about 9 inches from the wall.
$2600 the pair. (e-mail

(E) The side view of a pair of
brass French wall sconces, with holophane shades. These measure
about 13 inches top to bottom, and about 11 across, with the
shades in place. $750 the pair. (e-mail

The front view.

(F) Just a "little something
or other" from Daum... (unsigned but guaranteed), quite
large at about 21 inches wide. $2600. (e-mail

(G) A very agreeable wall sconce
by Schneider, on the order of 7 inches wide, about 13 or 14 high.
What an elegant concept -- doesn't everything French eventually
come down to the basket motif? $1900. (e-mail

(H) Wrought iron, one of my favorite
media, with sweet little frosted glass shades with clear ribs.
$1100. (e-mail

(I) Three of these "arts and
crafts" sconces just breezed in through the door. Aren't
they suitable for framing?! Soft bronze patina over solid brass,
silky iridescent acid-etched shades. They swivel, too! The three
are identical, and measure about seven inches high; they project
10 inches from the wall. I'd place these in the neighborhood
of a hundred years old: real antiques!!! $1150 the set
of three. (e-mail
