Lightolier Marquis Series 5-Arm Chandelier, c1926
Lightolier Marquis Series 5-Arm Chandelier, c1926

$775.00

Frankly, we'd never seen a chandelier quite like this one.

$675.00

Clean and straightforward, this 5-arm example of a mid-1930s cup-shade chandelier is noteworthy for its lack of elaborate design and its mix of cool chrome and warm coppery tones in the dual-color treatment of the fixture and glass.

$575.00

A stylish bread-and-butter Sheffield chandelier that probably hung over a dining room table in a classic foursquare or Dutch Colonial.

Late Sheffield Colonial Revival Bent-Brass Chandelier, c1920
Late Sheffield Colonial Revival Bent-Brass Chandelier, c1920

$575.00

It's the details that really matter when distinguishing true Colonial Revival lighting from cheap knock-offs. Notice the attention that's been paid to the molded tassel, for example -- it's slightly asymmetrical for a more realistic appearance. Note, too, the arms: they are of a style called "ben...

Bowl Shade Fixture with Tulip Motif, c1920
Bowl Shade Fixture with Tulip Motif, c1920

$980.00

Here's a shape we don't see very often. We suspect the top shade is meant to evoke gas lighting, a throwback detail that would make sense for a Colonial Revival design. Both the upright and bowl shades are etched and wheel cut with a lovely tulip and leaf pattern that gives this antique a charm a...

$680.00

Semi-indirect bowl fixtures (some light diffused down, some light reflected up) were all the rage for dining rooms between 1910 and 1920, and rarely were they done better or more substantially than when the shade was made of heavy, semi-opaque cast glass like this example.

"Don't Pigeonhole Me" Eclectic Pan Chandelier, c192
"Don't Pigeonhole Me" Eclectic Pan Chandelier, c192

$525.00

We love this fixture for its defiance of conventional stylistic categories. The form - central pan with attached cast arms and exposed sockets with leaf husks - is right down the middle of the most popular look of the early 1920s, yet this example takes the familiar and adds its own unique perso...

Mission 5-Light Drop-Pan Brass Shower, c1910

Sears Hi-Glo Art Deco Chandelier, c1934
Sears Hi-Glo Art Deco Chandelier, c1934

$725.00

It's great fun, we think, to imagine the fresh little family, dapper bachelor, or liberated career gal (with bobbed hair, natch) who picked up this little dandy from Sears in 1934. Would they, he, or she have realized they were part of the trend that would only later be named Art Deco? Deco was...

Hammered Brutalist Chandelier by Moe Bridges, c1971

$1,200.00

This chandelier is a fine example of a trend within a trend within a trend.
