Vintage Hardware and Lighting reproduced this Fleur de Lis art deco lighting series originally made by Lincoln Lighting, at the height of the slip shade era, circa 1935. Our Fleur de Lis reproductions are cast from original antiques, both the fixture and the shade. Lost Wax Cast brass fixture, we offer this series in a variety of finishes including, unlacquered Polished Brass for a naturally occurring patina over time, Antique Brass finish for a lovely aged look with out the wait,  Nickel plated brass, Oil rubbed bronze, and Pewter Finish. Our reproduction slip shades are offered in a frosted white and frosted amber. With all the combination's, of finishes and shade color you’re sure to find something to suit your needs.

The art deco Fleur de Lis sconces are simply elegant and add character to your room decor.

Solid brass, created using the Lost Wax casting method to preserve all the clear, crisp details. Perfect for a hallway, entryway, or stairwell, this Fleur de Lis two light pendant is a great example of quality lighting.

The Fleur de Lis five lights are just gorgeous. We offer two styles, these beautifully lost wax cast frames are covered in detail. These two lights are similar in style but have many differences, for instance they both have the same body with a pierced detail adorning the bottom, The Short five light had a rod stem leading up to the canopy and a shorter finial, the long five light has a detail deco metal work with a chain stem leading up to the canopy and a longer deco finial.

The Fleur de Lis six lights are also very similar to the five lights with minor differences. These two lights have our Fleur de Lis disc shade adorning the bottom, The Short six light had a rod stem leading up to the canopy and a shorter finial, the long six light has a detail deco metal work with a chain stem leading up to the canopy and a longer deco finial on the bottom of the Fleur de Lis disc shade .

As with all of our lights we can customize to shorten or lengthen our lights to suit our customer’s needs. This is a sample of our long Fleur de Lis five light that has been shortened and with a shorter finial.

This chandelier features gold highlights on a white metal frame just like the original Fleur de Lis fixture that's in our art deco lighting museum . We reproduced it exactly like our museum-authenticated Lincoln Mfg, circa 1930.  Our reproduction is all lost wax cast in white metal to capture the best Art Deco tradition and style. We then add the polychrome gold highlights, making this reproduction difficult to distinguish from the original.

You may be occasionally lucky enough to find a fixture at an estate sale, but need one or more replacement shades . We create these reproductions from originals, and it will be hard to tell the replacement from the original.

The most over-used word in the antique trade is the word “rare”.   It is so over used for common things that when an authentic rare item comes along,  the word tends to lose its punch.

Ken Kelly as the curator of the worlds only Art Deco Lighting Museum , says “perhaps it will have a bit more validity than when used off-handedly by a normal dealer”. So now,  “He” wants to use the word “rare”.

One of the brightest stars in our light museum is this particular light.  We were lucky enough to have this one donated to the museum to help us raise funds for expansion. Okay, so what qualifies this as rare ?  Well,  in 42 years of collecting for the museum, we have purchased every single entity found and we only have three examples shown in the museum  (a five light chandelier like this one, a three light and a sconce), and now this donation.

So…what is it ?  Since it is not in any catalog or reference book that we have in our library,  it needs to be attributed by the elements of its design & construction. We, probably better than most, are most able to do this.

This art deco chandelier we believe, is a presentation piece.  It was probably given to outstanding dealers or wholesalers as a reward for achievement of great sales.  Of course,  it might also have been given to retiring executives of the company sort of like the gold watch reward. Like the quality of engraved Winchester rifles,  it has an amount of detail very much above the norm for a production piece.

We believe it was made by  Lincoln Manufacturing who were ONE of the biggest makers of slip shade lighting in America and even sold to Sears.  We “know” Lincoln design and castings quite well having handled hundreds of their various products.

Attributes we recognize different from Virden or Markel or Acme or Frankenlite or Halcolite or Globe:
1:  The fixture is aluminum…Lincoln Mnf was a aluminum foundry rather than cast iron or cast zinc, or even cast bronze.
2:  The design motifs and shade holding panels are similar, mechanically, to Lincoln designs such as the Fleur-de-lis.
3:  The color and reliefs are similar to Lincoln designs and you can almost feel the elements from their head designer in this piece.  It does go that extra mile for great design.
4:  Each casting is marked with a part number.  Lincoln did this exclusively and other manufacturers did this VERY seldom.
5:  Only Lincoln made two other lights where the shade could be used bulb side up..or..down.  We are showing both these orientations in our pictures below.

The shades are just so fantastic.  Heavy custard glass with deep reliefs. Can be used two ways depending on preferences.very minor roughness in keeping with the fixture’s age.  Simply “wow” pieces of glass by themselves.

Measurements & Wiring:   Totally re-wired with new sockets and wire.  Ready to hang and we will supply all the necessary parts to do so easily.  It is 31” tall.  That large finial really adds to the height.  If a longer drop (height) is desired,  we can add a bit of extra chain.  It has an 18” diameter.

An excellent price for this RARE slip shade presentation chandelier attributed to Lincoln Mnf., Circa 1935.

Here at Vintage Hardware and Lighting we specialize in American antique lighting, When we came across these Noverdy and Vianne style sconces, we just couldn’t pass them up.                                                                 

We bought the originals from a restoration project in Seattle.When our antique originals sold quickly, we decided to make them as reproductions. This is a nice large Art Deco sconce  which is seldom found. The basic fixture is solid heavy brass, left un-lacquered and brought to a high polish. This is the way the sconce would have been presented when new. Also offered in an antique brass finish, giving the light a lovely aged look. Our nickel finish  gives the light a “modern,” clean look.

When our reproduction art deco sconce turned out so successful, we decided why not make the deco chandelier  as well? Same Quality as the  sconces, measuring 26” in diameter from deco shade to shade, with five of our slip shades and available in  polished brass, nickel  and  antique brass finishes. The French deco five light chandelier and sconces are truly a seamless match.

 With beautifully detailed slip shades, remade from the originals, typical of fine French quality. The shades come in two colors a soft frosted amber  giving the room a warm ambiance, and a frosted white that marks  its presence.

With the series of deco lights being so popular we’ve put into play and ongoing design for a bigger chandelier. With nine of our quality slip shades and a span of 44” and available in all of our finishes and shade color, to suit anyone’s taste.  This deco chandelier is undeniably going to be stunning. This light would be a great addition to your home, or office.
