Here's a rare, simply stunning, old (1930s) pair of cast iron sconce lights in amazing condition. YOU ARE BUYING BOTH LIGHTS FOR ONE PRICE. These matching antique fixtures have been completely disassembled, cleaned, and restored to original, working condition. The cast iron and steel components were media blasted to remove multiple coats of latex paint, then primed and repainted. The fixtures also received new sockets and wiring for safe and dependable operation. The globes are new -- if you want to replace them with something different, the 3-1/4" fitter is a very common size so there are a great many globes out there that will fit. As you can see in the photos, these fixtures still have their original "crow's foot" for attachment to a wall with 3 screws. The cast-iron back plate slides along a steel tube so it snugs up tightly to the wall. Tighten a screw on the bottom side of the flange and you're good to go. Each fixture has its three original brass screws for holding the globe in place. A drain hole in the cast-iron socket housing allows any rain to drain out should you place the fixtures outside. These are 100 percent authentic and genuine original fixtures - not reproductions. Including the globes, they extend about 10" from the wall and measure 14" long. The fixture's medium-base socket accepts any regular, household bulb including incandescent, CFL, or LED. At Industrial Antiquities we guarantee your complete satisfaction because each light is: *Completely disassembled and thoroughly cleaned. Before you buy any light, make sure it has been disassembled, cleaned, and refurbished. We've taken apart thousands of them, and believe us, when you buy them "as is" you will find many of them nearly impossible to take apart, with unsafe and inoperable parts. *Refurbished to the highest standards. Each light-fixture component, down to the tiniest fastener, is inspected and then thoroughly refurbished. Threaded parts are "chased" and lubricated as necessary to ensure everything fits snugly and precisely as it should, and that the fixture can be easily disassembled if necessary. We try to keep fixtures as original as possible, but we don't hesitate to replace parts when necessary, always using components of equal or better quality than the originals. These old lights were generally built to a level of quality unmatched in today's world of imported light fixtures, but we'll occasionally run across rusty steel screws and other fasteners that are better replaced with stainless steel or brass fasteners. If we replace any major components we always mention that in the description. Every fixture is different and requires a customized course of treatment, but rest assured that the fixture you are buying has been professionally restored in every way to ensure many more years of enjoyment and safe operation. *Guaranteed to work. We typically rewire each fixture with copper wire of a gauge sized appropriately for any type of light bulb intended for the fixture, including incandescent, CFL, and LED. We include extra-long wires so that you have flexibility in mounting the fixture. And, of course, we test each fixture to make sure it's in perfect working order. *Accurately photographed and described. Check our outstanding feedback and know that these lights are clearly photographed, from all angles, in sharp detail, so you can see exactly what you're buying. Our descriptions are honest, accurate, and detailed. If you require any more photos or information, don't hesitate to contact us and we'll get back to you quickly. *Ready to hang. Hook up the electrical wires, mount, and enjoy. *Carefully packaged. We generously pad our light fixtures in accordance with the standards established by our major shippers (FedEx, UPS, and USPS), and use sturdy boxes, often double boxing if necessary. Though these lights have prices assigned to them, in many ways we consider them "priceless" because of their rarity, beauty, and the fact that you simply cannot buy a modern-day replacement -- and we keep that front of mind in thoughtfully packing eve... read more
