“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?

    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.
