“Pompeian” fixtures by Lincoln!
My online vintage lighting store.
For many, many years, I had a set of 1920s lights stuck in storage, by Lincoln. The set needed a ton or work, and I was worried that I would not be able to restore the highly distinctive polychrome finish.
But now?
Squee!
There is a 5-bulb candle-style chandelier! This is ideal for over a dining table.
Note how the jade on the arms artfully blends into the brown.
There is a 5-bulb down-bulb-syle chandelier, ideal for a living room. Sets such as this were common for the era.
Note the amethyst. Sooooooo lovely.
And a pair of sconces! The whole set is unusual and like nothing I have ever restored.

Were these common pieces of the era or pricey ones that only more well off people could buy?
They are absolutely delicious!
Love them!
Beautiful! Care to share the before?
Somewhere in your beautiful house there must be a place for all of these pieces. They are a work of art as well as functional. I bet that you have colored glass in some window of the house that matches perfectly with the colors of the beautiful fixtures. If it was me, I would make sure everyone who entered the house would see these beauties upon entrance. You are a lucky man.
The colors are lovely, very unique lighting fixtures. I especially like the sconce.
I don’t usually comment on your lighting posts, because I don’t want to look like a stalker. (NOTE: I *am* a stalker; I just don’t want to look like one 🙂 But this set is phenomenal. I’m now redoing my living room and dining room decorating plans to see if I can use these.
