1900s Double Light Bronze Sconces Antique French Neoclassic Acanthus Leaves
Spectacular Early 1900s Pair Double Lighted Bronzed Sconces Neoclassic French Revival, Ornate, Old World Mass Appeal & Rare. Best pair we’ve seen in a long time. New to market; well stored past 50+ years. Is embossed on the backsides of metal. This exquisitely crafted & designed matched pair are massively impressive — look at all detailed photo carefully. These fine quality period lights are stunningly beautiful! Amazing detail, authentic form & character certainly not found in today’s lighting shops. Beauty & quality galor. Honestly hard to part with they’re so nice. Noteworthy Neoclassical French Revival Flair. The reeded encanthus leaves gracefully surround all sides of the wall base mounts, featuring a crossed ribbon at left side of each, then meet just below both the elaborately designed ancanthus crested tops & bottoms, highlighting both areas. Here, the inner domed portions have another attractive & distinctive form & are flanked on each side by large floral buttons. The equally magnificent arms feature even more elaborate ancanthus leaves; note the double- tiered ornate displays. Scrolls garniture & “beaded” designs adorning both sides of these long, gracefully curved lighting arms. Condition is excellent on the pair both aesthetically & structurally. These are very old & will require a light dusting in crevices; oops, we’ll take care of the 2 ancient cob webs seen in backside. White appearing areas to front sides are merely the result of camera’s flash. We do recommend having the old cloth wiring updated as indicated by a qualified electrician; a quick fix. One arm will need a quick turn to tighten backside nut. A pair as fine as these don’t come around often, don’t miss. Guaranteed age, authenticity, appeal. You will be thrilled to own, they’re that great. Dimensions: 10 tall x. 8.25 deep, back of base to furthest point of lighting arms. Weight: nearly 4 lbs each. We will very carefully double-wrap, insulate & package, as always, in a sturdy box to maximize protection, and your delight upon receipt, as always.

This cool pair of ladies stockings is really old – they are “Edwardian” – a fashion style that was made popular just after the Victorians, by the English Court of King Edward. They date from 1900 to 1910. They are made from cotton, and don’t appear to have ever been worn. They are an off-white, and meant to be worn for casual wear, in the daytime. They were meant to be held in place by garters, which were just tied into place, as elastic had not yet been invented. They are meant to come to just above the knee. Dresses at the time were worn just above the ankle. They measure 26 from the top of the back to the bottom of the heel. The foot measures 10 1/2 from the heel to the toe. They are a “Large” size, meant to fit a ladies size 8 to 9. Ladies worn stockings like this year around! I can’t imagine how hot and uncomfortable they must have been, especially when combined with bloomers, petticoats, a whalebone corset, then a dress, and of course full gloves and a hat. No wonder the ladies fainted. I have another pair, a bit heavier, a cotton wool blend, and a bit smaller. I try and recycle packaging materials as much as I can.
