(A) This four-arm fixture by Boretti of Lyon has such elegant simplicity, one accentuated by its four acid-finished bowl shades and redone brushed nickel finish. It hangs at 27 inches length, and is about 18 across.

Mary Anne scarfed this Boretti up! SOLD!!

(B) Fresh from Jack's famous restoration cannon, this exquisite Moderne beauty hangs about 17 inches long and is about 22 inches across. The metal is all solid brass and it's just been entirely rechromed. It takes three bulbs, so you'll have lots of light. $2900. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

(C) A Moderne Degue probably from the late 30's or so... with clean lines... yet wildly stylized flowers! The curved rods add a nice touch. This fixture hangs about 25 inches long and is about 18 wide. $2100. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

(D) Original pewter finish over solid brass or bronze. A fabulously stepped shaft, minimalist design elements -- a very powerful effect, with beautifully flared acid-etched shades. This hangs about 28 inches long, and has a nice wide span of about 30 inches. Perfect for a high-style Art Deco dining room! Only $4100. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

(E) Truth be known (and how often is it in present-day America?!), I have two of these. Well, wouldn't you if given the chance?! It's massively heavy, in spite of its slender and svelt appearance, being of silvered bronze. The three shades on this one are unsigned Schneider. It hangs at 30 inches long and is about 22 across. $3700. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

(F) Here's a signed Verlys bowl with superb dimension... the clusters of flowers protrude a good inch beyond the rest of the bowl. A spare chromed vintage hanging apparatus keeps all the attention focussed on this high quality piece of glass. As pictured it hangs 28 inches long (and can be shortened), and is about 15 across. Only $1700. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

(G) This vintage Art Deco bowl with Degue-style design elements is supported by a new silk cord from France which is electrified inside the cord. The canopy is solid brass with a brushed finish; it can easily be chromed or nickled, in a smooth or brushed finish. About 26 long, about 16 across. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

SORRY, THIS ONE'S SOLD. ASK ABOUT SIMILAR ONES IN STOCK!

(H) Chrome, copper and wood, a likely combination!! Hence my delight when I stumbled upon this one in La Belle France. I suspect it was fabricated in the 40's, but who knows, perhaps the late 30's. After all, who was doing much of anything in France in the 40's besides recovering from you-know-what? In impeccible condition, measuring 32 long, about 26 wide. $2800. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

(I) Here's an exquisitely beautiful fixture by Hettier-Vincent, one of the more esoteric and sought-after of the French lighting manufacturers. The fixture hangs 28 inches long, and it's about 20 inches across. The metal (solid brass) has been freshly re-nickled and patinated. Oh, did I mention that I've sold this one?! But don't despair, I have another, identical, with the exception that it's a bit shorter, just right for your hacienda with the 9-foot ceilings. I just wanted to show you this one so you'd see how great yours is going to look once it's been replated! Tricky, aren't I? The other one hangs 23 inches long and it's about the same in diameter, 19. All done up and replated: $3900. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

(J) Those aren't actual beads, they're cast metal! This chandelier has all the hallmarks of "high Art Deco," with refined details such as the brilliantly designed socket covers/shade holders and the elegant canopy. It hangs about 35 inches long and has a diameter of about 17 inches. $4700. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
