(A) A favorite amongst certain decorators and other purveyors of good taste... these simple but sophisticated American sconces are a constant seller. But, do you think I'm making them in the basement? Uh-uh. Better grab these while they're still around! They've been polished, patinated, and rewired, of course; they're perfect, in other words! They're a "standard" height of around 9 inches and about 5 wide, and each can take a 100-watt bulb. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

(B) A fine pair of Markel sconces, with freshly brass-plated backs. They're 11 tall, 5 1/2 wide. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

(C) I wish I had a dozen of these for my Egyptian Revival barge!

(D) Four are available, one shade having a slight hairline crack; nice opalescent fiery color in the shades... The backs are solid brass.

Joel slipped right in there and nailed these four! SOLD!!

 

 

 

(G) The fountain motif, wildly popular in the 20's, with a classic mint green finish over porcelain. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

 

(N) American Moderne styling, with hints of Classical design... Walter Von Nessen design? They're in excellent condition, mostly aluminum, and provide a very dramatic look when lit. Dimensions: 10 wide, 9 1/2 high, 5 deep. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

  

(P) Pair of chromed 1940's fluorescent wall sconces with switches & plugs, shown with one bulb in position and lit. These measure 46 cm by 6 cm. That's about 18 inches long by 2 1/2 wide. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
