(A) At about 30 inches square and
28 long, this fixture would handily make a full, rich statement
for a well-sized dining or living room... or, if you're lucky
enough to have one, a larger-than-usual bedroom.
Sorry, Don and Martha have bought
this, but don't despair, something similar is on the way! SOLD!!!

(B) With three peach glass shades
hanging at different lengths, this piece introduces an esthethic
all of its own... about 33 long, 15 wide. With a brushed nickle
finish...
And Joby and Ted now have this
peachy beauty adorning their love nest! SOLD!!
|
(C) Also with a recently refurbished
brushed nickle finish... and alabaster shades... the metal elements
are beautifully cast and machined to perfection... about 20 1/2
long by 24 wide. Only $2300. (e-mail

(D) Ah, what superlatives haven't
I used for a while, which I can summon up to convey my appreciation
for this FESTIVE number? That is, with its four opalescent
shades, with its sparkling chrome finish (and
original at that!). Well, I'd probably just be preaching to the
choir, anyway. It hangs at 25 inches long, about 26 across. $3200.

(E) Something else I wouldn't have
a lot of trouble living with... hmm, let's see, the San Francisco
residence or the Sun Valley chalet....? a rare and compelling
configuration, with a lush bronze patina and smart decorative
elements... 30 long, about 16 wide. $3400. (e-mail

(F) With its draped arms, long
and slender finials and a refurbished brushed nickle finish,
this beauty is nothing less than "jewelry for the home..."
30 inches long, about 20 in diameter. $3100. (e-mail

(G) A Degue chandelier with bold
geometry in both the shades and metal (which has its original
nickle finish, in nearly mint condition). It has a commanding
presence, at unusually large dimensions of 36 inches long, 28
diameter.
Masahiro looked at this Degue
and said: "Come to Japan, My Darling!" SOLD!!!
|
(H) 18 inches long, about 26 across,
with six spellbinding opalescent shades! Freshly plated brushed
nickle. Could you live with this much beauty?
Sorry, My Darlings, Allan couldn't
live without this much beauty and took it away! SOLD!!
|
(I) What a classic French Art Deco
fixture by Schneider, resplendant with stylized floral decoration
on the glass and metal. One of the largest and most impressive
I've had in ages! I've just refurbished it in a subtle brushed
nickle finish. This chandelier has presence! It's about
36 inches long, 27 inches in diameter. $7800. (e-mail

(J) Aren't you glad you went all
the way to the end? Wow! This Moderne extravaganza's glass shade
is about the same size as an American torchiere lampshade, and
has a crystal-like "chipped ice" finish. It's about
27 inches long, 20 across. $2600. (e-mail

(K) A dazzling opalescent, compelling
geometric lighting bowl by Etling (and so signed)... the photos
don't begin to convey the lustrous and fiery colors, which include
some gold when lit. It hangs at 28 inches (can be shortened)
and is about 14 across. $2300. (e-mail

(L) It's been quite a while since
I've had anything this spectacular -- a dazzling opalescent
bowl with three bare-breasted ladies gamboling about -- and three
of the cutest opalescent shades ever to come down the pike. Or
should I say le boulevard, since this is obviously from
la belle France!
The full length is 31 inches, and
the basic diameter is about 23, so it has an ample span.
The diameter of the bowl itself
-- one of the all-time greats, might I add -- is about 14 inches.
The extreme relief of the ladies gives the design great dimension,
almost 3-D! Why, they might just twirl right out their dance
and onto your dinner table... $3900 for all that beauty and history
(one of them bears an uncanny resemblance to none other than
Josephine Baker)! (e-mail
