The Operay Multibeam operating room light is an amazing find. In a loft space or office there is no other lighting or furniture that makes a bigger statement. Only we would be crazy enough to have 2 different examples in stock. The cast iron explosion proof model is mounted to a heavy floor stand including […]

The Source for Mercury Glass Lighting!
These hollow mercury glass shades were manufactured very much like early Xmas ornaments.

Also many of the designs you see we have in multiples.

From left to right. •18″…..$800 •16″…..$875 […]

Prague’s Art Nouveau gem.
Our latest buying trip included Eastern Europe and Paris. As usual we found some wonderful new things. Unfortunately the best can only be brought home in pictures. The lamps pictured above can be found in Prague’s 1911 Art Nouveau masterpiece “The Municipal House”. The elaborately decorative café and restaurants are amazing. In contrast you will […]
