Description: We are Appreciate Things of West London. We buy, we sell, we make and restore all kinds of glorious lighting, furniture and objects. As our name suggests, if we appreciate a thing then we think you might too. Today we have: A superb pair of antique wall lights, in the manner of W.A.S Benson, now fully restored and rewired by Appreciate Things. A crested shield wall plate supports two scrolling arms that in turn carry circular galleries supported by claw appendages to hold two victorian globe opaline shades. Newly rewired and fitted with BC B22 brass lamp holders, both of which are earthed. The pair are ready to be installed by a competant electrician. Condition: In very good condition with brightly polished brass. To one light there is obvious prior restoration as can be seen in the photos where the two arms meet and join. The joint has been soldered and brazed effectively and there is no structural weakness resulting. There is a further small split towards the back of one arm, but again this is cosmetic rather than structural. These issues are trivial and do not detract from the pieces. It should be noted that the glass globes are very slightly different in form from each other, being hand blown and presumably being replaced over the years. There is no difference in colour or quality. There are a few chips to the rim of one shade You are required to study the images supplied in order to gain an understanding of the goods and their condition as represented here. These images form an important part of the description. These words and images should be allied with an understanding that these are antique pieces of significant age. If you are looking for something perfectly new that won't last two years then possibly my listings aren't for you. This item can be collected or viewed at our workshop in Chiswick, London. Please message us for an appointment. Appreciate Things, London. We make, restore, repurpose, salvage and upcycle great lighting, lamps, luminaires. We believe that great lighting should be appreciated, respected and cherished. All work undertaken is to the highest level of quality based on years of experience. If you have a custom request for modification or alteration of any of our products just drop us a message! We can also rewire (most) lights for foreign use.
