Description
I’m very pleased to offer this gorgeous pair of 1920s silver-plated 2-arm sconces by the incomparable Lightolier Company!
This listing is for TWO matching fixtures.
ABOUT LIGHTOLIER
Beginning in the 1920s, and for many decades thereafter, the Lightolier Company (extant today of course) made some of the very finest fixtures. Their designs were always simply dazzling, and the quality was the very very very best. When you restore vintage lights such as I do, these aspects are so obvious they tend to jump out. It’s always a particular pleasure restoring a Lightolier!
The sconces appear to be mostly cast brass with a silver-plated finish. Just lovely.
Incredibly, the candle covers are original and in good vintage condition.
When the fixtures were made they would have been about twice the price of comparable fixtures by other lighting companies. This premium was for the quality, design, and the Lightolier name. Kinda like the difference between a Chevy and a Rolls-Royce. This premium still applies today.
Wholly restored and with new sockets and wiring, this pair is ready to hang, and comes with all the mounting hardware needed!
DETAILS:
The bulbs are not included. Flame-style LED bulbs would also looks well.
The fixtures accept standard base 60W bulbs.
The mounting spheres are replacements.
COLOR: See above.
SIZE: The sconces are 10-1/2-inches high, 9-inches wide, and they project about 4-inches. NOTE: Due to the unusual shape of the back-plates, the sconces may not fully cover a modern, large, electrical box. You might need a “reducer” plate from Home Depot.

I love writing this: there’s no damage.
The silver-plate is vintage.
The sockets and wiring are new.
The candle covers are original.
