Description
I’m very pleased to offer this gorgeous pair of circa-1965 Hollywood-Regency 2-arm sconces by the incomparable Lightolier Company!
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 are brass, and with particularly beautiful opalescent glass shades.
Please note the distinctive original mounting buttons. I love these kinds of details.
While the sconces were often used in bathrooms (above a mirror, or on each side), they are ideal for any room.
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 wiring, this pair is ready to hang, and comes with all the mounting hardware needed!
DETAILS: The fixtures accept standard base 75W bulbs.
COLOR: Gold. White.
SIZE: The sconces are about 10-1/2-inches high overall, and 13-inches wide. They project 7-inches.

SHIPPING: Insured shipping in the Continental US will be…FREE!
