12" White Flush-Mount Fixture w/Unusual Streamline Shade, c1940

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

Clean and zippy, this flush-mount fixture is a great candidate for a kitchen or bath as early as the late-'30s or as late as the mid-'50s. In fact, the look is so effortlessly modern that it would even suit a contemporary home. But what really makes this fixture special is the dual-tone treatment of the shade, which is clear on the top for maximum light on the ceiling, and a more opaque white on the bottom for glare-free general illumination. For a matching version of this fixture with a larger 14" diameter shade, see AL2396

Hypnotic Modern Fixture, c.1960 (2 avail.)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

Two available. Simple, even minimal, these great fixtures have a fascinating presence nonetheless-- their warm gold finish is radiant, and the moire patterns created by the finely perforated shades are rather transfixing.

Sheffield-Style Colonial Revival Shower w/Amber Shades, c1910

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

Shower fixtures, with their large pans and multiple-drop lights, began appearing around 1909 as the Colonial Revival trend was ramping up. The Sheffield style, defined by the alternating wide and narrow ribs in both the metalwork and the shades, had been introduced five or six years before that. Commonly used in a wide range of homes, including Old English and Arts & Crafts, Sheffield fixtures were elegant chameleons that adapted well to different settings. This classic example is no different, and would suit many different early-20th-century dining rooms. The amber shades are reproductions, and give a warm and intimate general light while "showering" the table below with ample illumination.

Postwar Porch Fixture w/Simple Charm, c1950

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

While we aren't certain of the exact date of this cute little postwar porch light - its style was popular for several decades after the war - we can just picture it perfect setting... a mid-century ranch or rambler with classic Colonial Revival details. There are only a few million good candidates that meet this description out there.

Boldly Elegant 3-Arm Sconce w/Gilt Finish, c1925

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

Supposedly removed from an old theater, this three-light wall sconce certainly has drama to spare. Its bold Historic Revival styling conveys formality and a touch of opulence, while the original gilt finish adds richness to the composition/gesso detailing of the arms and backplate.

Romantic 5-Light Chandelier w/Medieval Motifs, c1930

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

Holy Historic Revival Batman! Still sporting its original finish, this fixture is suitable for Wayne Manor itself - or the Dark Knight's subterranean lair, at least. At once dark and delightful, this great Depression-era chandelier is rich with romantic touches like crenellated candle bobeches, twisted and hammered surfaces, and a polychromed shield motif. A dining room (or dungeon) awaits...

Bungalow or Foursquare Beam Light, c1910(2 avail.)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

Between about 1905 and 1915, when carbon-filament bulbs were common, small accent fixtures like these were set at the intersections of ceiling box beams in dining rooms to add a little extra light and romance to the setting. This pair might make a nice complement to a built-in or between-room colonnade - or perhaps you can come up with a different charming or clever use for them.

"Peerless" Little Bare Bulb Fixture, c.1925

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

Sometimes it's just a small room or low-ceilinged spot that needs a touch of Twenties glamour, and a suspended multi-bulb extravaganza just won't do. Spiff up that butler's pantry or powder room with this glam little number-- it's got a gilt painted finish, with highlights of color. Made by "Peerless".

Romance Revival Hall Lantern w/Crackle Glass, c1928

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

From the polychrome heraldic shield and crenellated lantern crown to the hammer-textured straps with pyramid bosses, this fixture takes its romance seriously. Original finish and original glass, ready to grace the foyer or stairway of an Old English cottage or Mediterranean hacienda.

Combination Chandelier w/Stunning Oxidized Copper Finish, c1905

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

A classic fixture in a classic finish - both hard to find these days. Simple yet elegant gas/electric combination fixtures like this one were extremely common in homes at the turn of the century, and most were replaced in the decades that followed as gas fell from use and newer fixture and bulb styles made lights like this one look quickly outdated. Ironically, that dated look is exactly what makes it so wonderful today.

Quaint Porcelain Semi-Flush Fixture w/Hand-Painted Shade, c1935

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

Inexpensive, easy to keep clean, and great vehicles for color, porcelain fixtures were all the rage in the 1930s. Our example is paired with a delightful Streamlined opal shade highlighted with hand-painted flowers. Both fixture and shade feature lovely blue pinstriping. Well suited to a kitchen or bathroom, this fixture might also work nicely in a bedroom, laundry room, sun porch or hallway.

Polychrome Pendant w/Overlay Castings & Painted Birds, c1925

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

This fanciful pendant has a lot going on, from the delicately cast filigree overlays and Greek Key banding to the hand-painted bird decoration and new polychrome finish. A beautiful emerald green glass bottom panel adds richness to the overall effect. A fixture like this might have been used in an entry or sunroom for a touch of decorative flair. Note: A fair amount of the yellow paint in the birds has faded, but you still get the impression of what the picture is.

Dark Gold Art Deco Pendant w/Stepped White Shade, c1935

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

This classic Depression-era pendant is finished in a dark gold paint and features a stepped shade with Art Deco styling. A hang-straight joint at the canopy accommodates ceilings with a slight slope, or provides a little flexibility for areas like stairways where the fixture might occasionally get bumped.

Mid-Century Semi-Flush Ceiling Fixture w/Satin Shade, c1955

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:00:00 PST

Like a visitor from another planet, this retro ceiling light will bring a taste of the Space Age to rooms with lower ceilings. The fixture retains its original brushed aluminum finish and satin Swedish-style cased glass shade, and sports radial slits on the upper surface that will throw a dramatic light pattern on the ceiling.
