ANT-1451 Magnificent Set of an Art Deco 5-Shade Chandelier with a Pair of Matching Sconces by Virden

*An identical chandelier is available without the sconces (ANT-1452).

This great five-shade chandelier, along with the hard-to-find sconces, were made by Virden and pictured in their catalog of 1935.

They called this series: “The Malvern Series”. In this series, there was a 2-light & a 3-light and this 5-light and one wall sconce. The 5-light was as good as it came...no 6-light was shown or ever made. (Courtesy of the Kelly Art Deco Light Museum)

The frames of the chandelier and sconces are cast metal with an old-bronze colored finish. It’s pretty darn good too for its age, as the pictures will attest.

The shades are amber and in good...remarkable...condition. The shades have two colors...amber above and clear below as can be seen in the chandelier below the holding frame. There is some variation in the shades and in the frames, so trying different shades in different holders yields the best results. All being hand made, this variance is not unusual.

The chandelier and sconces have been completely re-wired, in our UL shop and come with a complete mounting kit for installation to a normal electrical box. Sockets can easily handle 100-watt incandescent bulbs and each sconce does have a replaced rotary switch.

Measurements: The height of the chandelier is 25" with a maximum diameter of 16”. The sconces measure 12 1/2” tall by 5” wide. They project into the room 6 3/4” with those neat protruding shades.

The chandelier can be lengthened with the addition of chain links, which we could do for you. Please contact us if you would like a quote.

All mounting hardware will be supplied.

Price: $1,875.00 for the set of the UL re-wired Virden Malvern Chandelier along with the pair of Virden Malvern sconces complete with their amber shades…plus shipping.
