Special Sconce with Rare Golden Amber Shade #S1902D: c.1920's. Both the sconce and shade are very unusual. The iridescent amber, acid etched shade has a knob or finial shape at the bottom. You do not see this very often. This lamp measures 13.5" in length and comes out 6.5" from the wall.
Bronze Dragon Sconce #S1902B: This rare sconce is 10" in length and comes out about 9" from the wall. Special crystal "zipper" pattern shade.
Original Gas Mirror Back Sconce with Cranberry Hobnail Shade #S113002A: The very detailed frame is bronze. If you look closely at the last photo you will see the North Wind looking back at you! This old gas fixture is c.1890 and has been carefully restored and wired for electricity. It will take up to 150 watts. The hobnail shade is far more beautiful than the photos show. The original beveled glass mirror does have some character detail which only adds to the feeling of such a rare lamp. Perfect for a Victorian home.
Rare, Rare, Rare Old Gas Sconce with Fine Hand Painted Blue and White Shade #S101601A: c.1890. Bronze. Perfect detail. Original soft brown patina. Magnificent shade. This sconce will "swing out" about 14" from the wall. Wired for electricity.
