$75 USD1952 Swivelier Vogue-Lite MCM Retro Rolph Scarlett Design New Old Stock
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Mcm
Swivelier was, and still is, a fine maker of lighting products. This wall or ceiling mounted spotlight has never been used and still has the hanging tag with a 1952 date. The tag indicates that this is "Styled by Rolph Scarlett" and describe it's virtues as "Modern colors that blend with contemporary interiors," and "Finish is kiln-baked for extra durability." As their name implies, they had a patented swivel and its virtues are on the tag which you can read in the photo. Rolph Scarlett was an ...
$200 USDPair of Capodimonte Reticulated Hand Painted Lamps
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Capodimonte
This fine pair of lamps were made in Italy by Capodimonte and have their classic form and striking hand painting. These have a 2 tiered pierced brass base that shows some patina. The lamps stand 31 inches to the top of the finial and 21 inches to the top of the lamp socket. The pottery portion stands 15 and 1/2 inches tall. The sockets have incorporated rheostat controls for continuous light dimming. One socket has lost its knob but still is easy to turn without it. The pottery is reticulated ...
$200 USDPair of Reticulated Capodimonte Lamps with Shades
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Capodimonte
This pair of Capodimonte lamps have their original shades. These have a round pierced brass base supporting 4 sea monsters that support the pottery portion. The pottery is done in a cream base color with a vine and flower motif as well as the expected putti, in this case a pair of them repeated 4 times around the lamp. Gold highlights adorn the pottery throughout and is in excellent condition with some expected wear in the most handled areas. The shades are original and show some wear and ...
$23 USD SaleSALE Cast Brass Vintage Feather Shaped Lamp Finial
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Finials
This brass lamp finial was cast in the shape of a feather with the pattern present on each side. I am not sure of age but it has certainly obtained a nice patina. The finial is 3 and 1/2 inches tall.
$70 USDMCM Italian Pottery Lamp Colorful Flower Design
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Our collecting "bug" also includes lamps and when combined with pottery is almost an impossible combination to resist. Well we couldn't resist this one, but alas, we cannot seem to find a place for it in our new home. This lamp was produced in Italy during the middle of the last century and probably imported by the Raymor group. The pottery portion stands 14 and 1/2 inches tall and is about 8 and 1/2 inches at its widest. The base is 5 and 3/4 inches in diameter. There is one small flake on the ...
$37 USD SaleSALE Vintage Oriental Carved Stone Lamp Finial Blue Agate 2
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Finials:Chinese
We recently purchased several items from a local New Orleans estate. The couple traveled to South East Asia during the 1950s and 1960s. There are items clearly from China and others from Japan and a few I suspect came from Vietnam. This is one of 8 carved stone finials from the estate and probably date to the period they traveled in the Orient. The 2 blue agate finials have artist mark characters which are probably Chinese and therefore the others are also; but they all could be from another ...
$50 USD SaleSALE Antique German Figural Cold Painted Lamp
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:German
This is a lovely, if somewhat "shabby chic", German figural porcelain lamp. There is significant paint loss, which pushes the lamp into the "shaggy" category best seen in the pictures. The lamp stands 12 inches tall to the top of the socket. The base is impressed "Germany" with a penciled "STRO" also. The mark and the plug suggests a 1920s date of production.
$41 USD SaleSALE Vintage Mid Century Modern Retro Cone Pottery Lamp
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
This is a 1950s or early 1960s lamp that has that MCM retro look down to a T, because that is what it is! Classic MCM form and feel with a central pottery portion and a wooden "hourglass" shaped neck. Very geometric. The lamp stands 22 and 1/2 inches to the top of the socket. If you know what shade you want to use, I can probably supply the appropriate size harp, free of charge. The pottery portion is 12 inches tall and it sits on a metal base. There are a few tarnished spots on the metal base. ...

Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Finials:Chinese
We recently purchased several items from a local New Orleans estate. The couple traveled to South East Asia during the 1950s and 1960s. There are items clearly from China and others from Japan and a few I suspect came from Vietnam. This is one of 8 carved stone finials from the estate and probably date to the period they traveled in the Orient. They are probably Chinese as 2 of them are marked with what seem to be Chinese characters, but could be from another country in the area. This single ...

$45 USD SaleSALE Vintage Mid Century Modern Retro Blue with Gold Mottling Lamp
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
This is a 1960s or early 1970s lamp that has that MCM retro look down to a T. Classic MCM form and feel with a robin egg blue background on the pottery and a gold mottling over the lamp body ending at the neck. The lamp stands 19 and 1/2 inches to the top of the socket. The pottery portion stands 16 and 1/2 inches tall. If you know what shade you want to use, I can probably supply the correct size harp at no charge. There are no chips, cracks, or repairs to the lamp. The socket is a 3 way and ...

$41 USD SaleSALE c1910 Regal No 0 Black Kerosene Lantern Near Mint!
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Kerosene
This Regal No 0 lantern is in excellent original condition. The black paint is excellent with only a few scratches on the bottom. The globe is also in excellent condition with only some roughness around the top rim. All components work as they are supposed to: the globe raises and tilts, the top flips open, etc. The lantern stands 13 and 3/4 inches tall (not including the wire handle which adds another 5 plus inches). The top lid has 2 patent dates, July 29th 1890 and June 30th 1903. This is the ...
$95 USD SaleSALE Rayo Brass Electrified Center Draft Kerosene Oil Lamp c1900
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Kerosene
This c1900 Rayo lamp is in excellent original unrestored condition. Although it has been electrified, the center draft design of this lamp means that there are no holes in the font and the lamp could easily be converted back to kerosene with the addition of a flame spreader. Parts and wicks are still readily available. You may email me for Rayo lamp links or do a Google search for Rayo lamps. This is an early style "tulip" cutout base lacquered brass example of this lamp. This one has the ...
$125 USD SaleSALE Formal Pottery Candelabra Style Lamp
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Bittersweet Antiques presents this finely crafted formal lamp. This lamp is hard to date, but based on the electrical cord, I would say dates to the first half of the 20th century, probably to the 1920s. The 2 pottery pieces are in excellent condition. There are raised dots that were cold painted gold and those on the top portion have lost the gold from the crown of the dot, most likely from years of cleaning. The lamp rests on a 6 inch square by 2 inch tall brass base that shows a nice patina. ...
$75 USDMCM Retro Double Spotlight Ceiling Mount Brushed Aluminum Prescolite Lamps NOS
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Mcm
This Prescolite fixture is new old stock and has never been used. It comes with the original instructions and although undated, it probably was made in the early 1950s. The base or canopy is 4 and 1/4 by 7 and 7/8 by 3/4 inches. Each lamp hangs an additional 11 and 1/2 inches from the base. Each lamp is 6 and 3/8 inches diameter at the opening end with a 5 and 1/8 inch actual opening diameter. They did suffer a couple of dents and scratches, but nothing major. There is some oxidation on one ...
$150 USD SaleSALE Formal Glass Lamp with 8 inch Sawtooth Crystal Drops
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Bittersweet Antiques presents this finely crafted formal lamp. This lamp is hard to date, but based on the electrical cord, I would say dates to the late 1950's to the 1960's. All of the glass pieces (except the drops) are pressed glass in sharp molds giving sharp crisp ridges and thus a good impression of cut crystal. The lamp rests on a 7 inch diameter metal base painted gold that has a classic dot and crosshatch motif. The main piece of glass is in a classic urn shape with 2 sunburst patterns ...
$200 USD SaleSALE French Candelabra Style Glass Lamp with Ten 7 inch Crystal Drops
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Bittersweet Antiques presents this finely crafted formal French lamp. I say this lamp is French based on the glass portions which are classic French work of reverse painted gold filigree highlights and a white background. While I feel certain the central glass parts are French, the lamp could have been, and probably was, assembled in the United States. Again, this lamp is hard to date, but based on the electrical cord and construction, could date in the first half of the 20th century. The lamp ...
$143 USD SaleSALE MCM Retro Mod Gigantic Pottery Table Lamp 4 feet tall!
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Our weakness for pottery lamps was showing when we saw this gigantic beauty. She is substantial in every way. First, she stands an impressive 4 full feet tall from top of the original shade to the thick wooden base. In between is a full 21 inches of striking MCM pottery in blues and greens that is topped by the 23 inch shade that has a color matched padded fabric band. The shade does show some wear around the top and will be included in a separate box for the cost of shipping only. If you do not ...
$145 USD SaleSALE Glass Brass and Marble base Lamp with 8 "Sawtooth" Crystal Drops
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Bittersweet Antiques presents this finely crafted formal lamp. This lamp is hard to date, but based on the electrical cord, I would say dates to the 1960's. All of the glass pieces (except the drops) are pressed glass in sharp molds giving sharp crisp ridges and thus a good impression of cut crystal. The lamp rests on a 6 inch square of 3/4 inch thick dark gray marble with white veining. Next is a 5 and 1/2 inch diameter round brass piece with a leaf and berry repeating motif. Next, the first ...
$125 USD SaleSALE Hand Painted Roses Pottery Lamp
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Bittersweet Antiques presents this finely crafted formal lamp. This lamp is hard to date, but based on the electrical socket and overall style, I would say dates to the mid 20th century. The lamp has been rewired with a modern polarized plug. The lamp is composed of 2 pottery pieces which are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The larger top piece of pottery is hand painted with 5 roses and several buds on 1 side, and 2 roses on the other. Raised areas are highlighted in ...
$65 USD SaleSALE Vintage Classic Urn Shaped Pottery Lamp
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
This lamp is probably American made but it is in the style of old Paris porcelain. The pottery portion is in 2 pieces, a base that sits on the brass base, and the upper urn shape with handles. The decoration is transfered, not hand painted, There is an intricate gold leaf decoration around the flowers that is difficult to photograph against the dark maroon/red of the body of the urn. The gold paint on the top of each handle does show wear and is pictured. The lamp stands 22 inches to the top of ...
$135 USD SaleSALE Japanese Meiji period Vase converted to a Lamp
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Bittersweet Antiques presents this Meiji period vase that was converted to a lamp, early in it's life. Although I am far from an expert on Japanese marks, and the lamp conversion destroyed most of the mark, the remaining mark contains the symbol for "Dai Nippon" in Japanese characters and on the whole date to the Meiji (1868-1912) period, reflecting the greatly increased nationalism of that period. This vase portion of the lamp stands 12 and 1/4 inches tall and is clearly hand decorated in a ...
$50 USD SaleSALE Vintage Italian Pink and White Alabaster Lamp
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
This Italian lamp appears to me to be made of alabaster although the highly veined pink color seems to be unusual from what I can determine. This lamp has been rewired with a new polarized plug and a newer 3-way light socket. The lamp stands 25 inches to the top of the 2 inch matching original pink finial. The base is 4 inches on each side and the alabaster portion is 13 and 1/2 inches tall. On the base is a sticker which reads MADE IN ITALY. It is difficult to exactly date this lamp but based ...
$65 USD SaleSALE Vintage Slipcast Figural Ceramic Spanish Dancer Lamp
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
This is an excellent quality figural lamp. The cold painted portions are well done and in excellent condition. There is a small amount gold paint loss on the dancer's lapels and are pictured. The lamp stands 21 inches to the top of the socket and 29 and 1/2 inches to the top of the harp. The pottery portion stands 16 and 1/2 inches to the top of the dancer's head. The base is 6 inches in diameter. There is a hairline on the dancer's arm that appears old and stable and probably happened in the ...
$179 USD SaleSALE French Glass Luster with 10 Six inch Crystal Drops
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Bittersweet Antiques presents this white glass with gold design electric light luster. This looks to be an older, designed for electricity luster, possibly from the 1920's. The glass and design look to me to be French. The design is a grape vine that wraps around the top. All of the gold looks to be in excellent condition. There is 1 small inside rim edge chip. The 10 six inch crystal drops are in excellent condition and are hung from 1 inch square buttons for a total length of 8 inches of ...
SOLDSOLD MCM Eames Era 12 Arm Chandelier 8 inch Globes
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
This Oh-So-Retro 12 arm chandelier can be the centerpoint of a Great Room or a Dining Room. It is large, 4 feet from outer edge of globe to globe. The globes are 8 inches in diameter and have a 4 and 1/4 inch opening. There are 2 patterns to the plastic globes; one style is pebbly and the other is wavy and I have placed them in an alternating pattern. They all look to be original to the fixture. There is 1 globe that has cracks and 2 small missing pieces. The cracks have been repaired and when ...

There are items clearly from China and others from Japan and a few I suspect came from Vietnam. This is one of 8 carved stone finials from the estate and probably date to the period they traveled in the Orient. The 2 blue agate finials have artist mark characters which are probably Chinese and therefore the others are also; but they all could be from another ...| Items 1 - 28 of 28 | Page 1 of 1 |
