Unique Zig Zag Theater Art Deco sconces 2 Pair

Fresh out of unique theater setting (at least that is what I'm told)! I do love them, very sculptured and very dimensional. These have a striking modernist design with zig-zag metal treatment! They really make a statement. There are 3 colors of glass, the amber front slag panels with triangular tips to the top and bottom. White frosted side panels the can be adjusted inside to outside with just a hint of red glass, in all the right places. Nice original nickel and brass hardware. A very nice sculpted rosette on the back, perfect for hanging these lovely ladies. They even have the old style metal chain pull for on and off. Very unique and I just happen to have two pairs. Something not often found with such a unique lighting treatment. I will sell them separate, in pairs only, but if you need 4 don't wait around, they won't be hanging here long.

Pair of Art deco Streamline Wall Sconces by Dreyfuss for 20th Century Ltd. Train

Item #1461

This is a remarkable design and pair of lights that are very close to my heart. I don't usually buy much in the way of American (industrial) lights, but these have a great pedigree. They were designed by famous industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss (who helped to shape the style and aesthetics of American culture). I have a pair in my kitchen now for 13 years and I was fortunate to be able to purchase a quantity of these (I think we have 5 pairs). These great sconces designed by Dreyfuss for the 20th Century Ltd. train cars, they were attached to the walls next to the seats and projected the light downwards for reading. Great for next to a bed or on either side of a mirror or great with a pair over a sink.

The knobs in the center of the stems unscrew and the entire top lifts off to change the bulb. They have been newly polished aluminum, solid brass stem/screws and enameled glass.
