Victorian Kerosene Wall Sconce Iron Glass
|
Here is a super 19th century double bracket two font oil wall sconce. In original black casted iron and I
might add the casting is rather ornate and nicely done. The simple pressed glass fonts have that
wonderful tint of Amethyst that’s that great old look that glass gets. It has the shade rings which I
believe will take a gas shade or round ball shade with a 5” fitter or a little under. The two fonts are
complete with the chimneys. The bracket that connects to the wall is also intact. The condition is very
good with these lamps all you need to do is get a nice pair of matching shades for them. They measure
17” at highest x 5 ¾” at widest x 9” out from the wall.

Victorian Wall Sconce Gilt Brass

Opulent Victorian wall sconce. Very fine casting in brass with what appears to be a gold wash on the
surface over the brass- It’s very classical in design with a rococo style shell on top & bottom. This two
light wall sconce is already re-wired & ready to install. There’s no switch or pull chain so it has to be
wired directly into wall box - it takes a candelabra base bulb. This is a nice sconce with no problems.

Banquet Lamps Oil Cut Glass Silver
|
This is an incredible Pair of Classical Corinthian column banquet lamps. They were originally oil burning
and they date from the 19th century. The design is very architectural with deeply reeded columns on a
multi-step base. The crystal oil font is extravagantly cut and appears to be English or Irish. Although
this pair started out life together they are not identical. There is a minute difference in the design of the
columns and at first glance not noticeable. They are now fitted for electricity with associated
contemporary shades. Measuring 34 ½ inches high overall. The condition is very good.

Nouveau Brass & Beaded Lamp Shade
|
This makes the most outrageous lampshade. Starting out with a square brass frame strung with some
pretty unusual beads - truly Art Deco, Art Nouveau. The central fitter appears to be leather. Where you
put the light bulb through it measures a little under 1 1/8”in diameter, is 3 ¾” square & 6 ½” long overall
including entire length of fringe. I think it is quite incredible that a fragile beaded shade like this can be
in such perfect condition. Approx circa 1915-1920. I just had another thought - this would also be pretty
incredible on an oil lamp chimney.

Welller Dickensware Oil Kerosene Lamp

Nice highly decorative oil lamp signed on the bottom Weller Dickensware with the number 350
impressed and also I think it the letter B under the impressed mark. It is in excellent condition and totally
monumental in stature. It has an oil font that sets inside and the fill cap on the oil font is marked B & H
for Bradley and Hubbard. It does not have a burner or a shade we are selling just the base here – and
what a wonderful base it is. It is in excellent condition with a nice all over crazing. It is monumental as
you can see measuring 19 5/8” high x 13” wide at widest point.

Hanging Oil Lamp Brass & Painted Shade
|
Here is a super nice hanging oil lamp – unusual in design being a little bit higher country then we
normally see. It has a heavy repousse brass font in a swirling classical design. It has a rope twisted
harp and a floral cartouche at the bottom. The chandeliers works on a pulley mechanism there is a
pulley on the top canopy complete with a smoke bell - and of course you know the pulley was used to
bring the lamp down to light the wick and then pulled back up. The shade is a white opal shade it has
beautiful hand painted scene which is lakeside as you can see. The overall lamp is in extremely good
condition – the shade is fine, the brass is rich and mellow. It has a little dent on the top side of the font
not noticeable in the least unless you are really really looking for it. It is still in its original oil/kerosene
burning condition. A fabulous piece! The lamp measures 37” to the top of the canopy (which can be
adjusted to be higher or shorter depending on your needs) and the shade has a 12” overall diameter.

European Chandeliers Pair with Hand Hammered Gold

truly incredible and simple yet complicated in design. When I look at these I automatically think Russian
imperial but I will just say eastern European for safety sake! These chandeliers are overall made from
hand forged iron. They have hand hammered metal decorative mounts in the form of leaves as well as
the candle cups. The chandelier has 8 flowing graceful candle branches and a crown for the top.

Ruby Glass & Brass Oil Lamp Wall Sconce

Here is quite the exceptional 19th century wall sconce. As you can see it has an extremely ornate
heavily casted brass frame. It has a glorious carriage or basket that the ruby glass font sits right into.
The font is large and heavy. It has beautifully blown red ruby glass with a nice finished pontil
underneath. It has what I suspect to be the original oil burner marked Banner & Company USA and a
ruby flashed chimney.

Here is one of sweetest little oil lamps that I have ever laid eyes on – and I’m sure if you are looking at
these pictures right now you totally agree with me. It is made of a white opalescent glass with a pale
putty satiny color finish. It is all hand painted and hand enameled. The birds appear to be barn
swallows – on the shade and on the base. On the reverse side of the base and the shade there is
another scene of flowers and branches that are crawling over a trellises or arbor if you will. The burner
is marked – The Trenton Jr.

Talk about a lamp that makes a statement – this is a powerful piece. It is so handsomely carved in

Ships Wall Sconces Oil Burning Gimball
|
A really nice matching pair of matching ships gimbal wall sconces. This pair is in a fairly extravagant
style for a ships lamp. They are made of brass & have bold fluid movement. The wall bracket is also
very stylish. There is a plaque on the lower shaft of the sconces that reads “C. Gray Ship Chandlers” “
Est. 1882 Arbroyath Scottland”. The sconces measure 27” Long from top to bottom & 10” diameter of
shade. Overall the condition is excellent, one sconce has some roughness to the outside where the
font sits into the base & some very minor slight dents as is usual & common, in oil lamps of this age.
The burners are Duplex oil burners with a double wick in working condition & most likely not the original,
but they are perfect!

Attributed to Hooper of Boston, this powerful solar chandelier! Gilt brass, holding 4 fonts with deeply
engraved shades. The movement in this fixture is so naturalistic & free flowing with the ornate floral
design chain drapery. The ornamental morning glory flowers in gilt brass are just stunning & so New
England! This chandelier was converted to kerosene burning around the 1850’s & is still in the
kerosene burning condition. It can be fitted for electricity. For the fact that it is a true authentic 19th
century lighting fixture, I will leave it up to the future owner, the decision of weather or not to wire. The

Crystal Hurricane Lamps W/ Etched Round Globe

Deeply Etched Hurricane Candle Holders. Super nice & so functional. Blown in a mold, with deep
engraved floral decoration. The candle cup is molded right inside the globe .I seriously wish that I had
this pair on my sideboard, last time that my power went out .They are very heavy & substantial. The
clarity of the crystal is very good & unfortunately just very hard to capture with the camera. Measuring
17”High x 9” across the body x6” diameter of the top opening x 6 ¾” Diameter of the base. I can also
see these being used on the dining table inside or outside ,I’ll just bet they would have the right amount

Antique Classical Crystal Beaded Chandelier
|
Lovely classical design beaded crystal chandelier. French or Italian & dates from approximately the
1880’s. Chandelier is made of hand faceted rock crystal beads strung on a wire frame, I believe this
chandelier was originally candle burning & then fitted for electricity in the early 1900’s. Rock crystal is
not as prismatic as the crystal we are used to seeing, Rock crystal will reflect a white or natural light.
This petite beauty measures only 29” long x 18”diameter of the basket. Use any length of chain that
you desire.

Astral Style Lamp with Blue Column
|
Astral Style Lamp with Blue Column. This is quite a unique lamp. I can honestly say I have never seen
one like it. The lamp columns are in two pieces and it is an absolute cobalt blue cut glass. It has an
astral style font and it sits on a marble base which is 4” square. It has a beautiful beautiful deeply cut
glass shade in that nice tam-o-shanter shape. This lamp is actually a fluid lamp not typically an astral
lamp and it has the burner and is in good working condition. I think this was originally a working astral
lamp and then maybe converted to fluid burning at a later date. It certainly is stunning – it has nice long
star cut crystals. It measures 22”h to the top of the shade and sits on a 4” square base. Striving For
Excellence It isn’t brilliance or just getting the breaks, It is consistent attention to & honest respect for
the Customer.

finely casted bronze. The surface patina is rich wonderful and lustrous. Original this was an oil burning

Early Brass Push-Up Beehive Candlesticks
|
Nice early lighting, the beehive push up candle sticks in brass English or American circa 1840-1860.
You can find more information on this type of early lighting in the book 19th century lighting, candle
power. These candlesticks measure 9 ¾” high. Only One of the sticks still has the push up pin
underneath & one of the sticks has a slight lean to it obviously in the casting, it is slight & only
noticeable at a certain angle, otherwise this is a great pair of true early lighting devices & perfect for
the lighting collection or early period decorating.

Classical Bronze Figural Banquet Lamp
|
Here is a completely stunning classical table lamp. This lamp as you can see was a fluid burning
banquet lamp. The elegant cut glass font is held inside a highly ornate bronze Dore basket. The stem
of the lamp is also bronze Dore and is being supported by two full bodied classical maidens. They are
in a pose as if they were holding up a horn of plenty. The maidens are standing on a carved marble
base that sits inside a heavy bronze Dore footed platform. As you can see the design is all of grapes
and leaves. This lamp is signed by the sculpture - I believe - it is B or G Vian. The lamp is currently
fitted for electricity with a contemporary black shade. The electrical fittings are for three lamp sockets
each with a pull chain with a ball on the end. This is truly a classical masterpiece.

Wall Sconces Cast Iron Full Body Eagle
|
This is a rather nice vintage pair of old wall sconces. They appear to be made of cast iron and the
casting is rather fine as you can see. They are overall a little bit rusted – these were being used
outside for a long time. There is only one single candle branch in the center and it would appear to me
that they could be with a little bit of ingenuity be wired for electricity by running the wiring on the outside
of the central candle arm. They are in very good condition – all things consider – once again they do
have a fair amount of rust it is old white paint that is on them. The back panel measures 11 ¼”w, from
wall out measures 11” and it is 9 1/8”h.

Cut Glass Lamp with Beaded Shade
|
Every time I look at this lamp it reminds me of Imperial Russia – just the imperial stately nature of it and
the swirling top resembles the fabulous imperial Russian architecture. The lamp is cut glass it is
assembled in sections. The four footed brass or bronze base is truly classical in design with acanthus
leaves. The cutting is very very simple with horizontal lines and there is a brass or bronze cartouche
that hangs form under the shade.
