Antique 1920 ' S Cast Iron Porch Arts & Crafts Mission Sconce Lights Bungalow Era
Item History & Price
PAIR of antique cast iron exterior sconces, all original off a brick bungalow built in the 1920's.
The manufacturer is stamped inside the cast iron back, along with the patent date. See pictures! Manufactured by N.L & S. Co., with a patent date of Jan.15, 1924.
When I Google the company, I found an interior pair of wall sconces in bronze with the same exact wall canopy and post design, with a glass shade in green.
Email me for the pictures. Beyond that I found not...hing! In my over 25 years of collecting antique lighting, I've never seen a pair like this or anything else from N.L. & S. Co. in the 1920's.
The all original green slag glass is extremely thick, matching in color and wavy. I don't see any damage. The wavy creases pictured are in the glass. The wiring is older cloth, but in amazingly good condition, but I recommend that every buyer has an electrician look 100 year old antique lighting over for safety purposes.
Honestly, these are an incredible pair of sconces. They came off a bungalow buy would be charming on a lake cottage, a Victorian porch or garden shed.
At 14" tall and 9 inches deep, I would consider them small to medium in size.
They are heavy. The wall pieces and stem are heavy cast iron. The shade that holds the glass is a lighter weight material, with original crusty black paint.
Inside, there are the original sockets.
