Our lead crystal prism chandeliers are timeless. Enjoy them in a Victorian home, or a contemporary formal dining or living space. A 21st century application is to have an elegant prism chandelier in the bedroom or master bath. The prisms multiply the light coming from the fixture, and the Oxley Giddings provenance (original manufacturer, circa 1870) guarantees a classic worthy of investment. In our showroom, natural sunlight coming through the cut glass prisms makes a colorful rainbow around the room, even when the lights of the chandelier aren't turned on.

This single-light crystal wall sconce was designed by Oxley Giddings, fine craftsmen of the 1870's. Sought after by wealthy clients for their top quality lead crystal and craftsmanship, it was difficult to find originals for our provenance. We are proud to offer historically accurate reproductions for your home.

Oxley-Gidding was the first choice of wealthy clients around the world, for their estate, homes, and dramatic business sites such as exclusive hotel lobbies.. This double crystal wall sconce matches our beautiful Oxley-Giddings chandeliers. Bring your lighting down to eye level in hallways, next to the fireplace, or over the buffet with this gorgeous addition. We recommend the use of sconces in pairs.

We think Oxley-Giddings would be proud of these highly detailed reproductions, also made of top quality brass and fine lead crystal. This double crystal wall sconce matches our beautiful chandeliers and this is the largest of our matching prism sconces. Note the additional row of crystals below, and focal crystal “finial” above. A swarovski crystal ball completes the bottom of this lovely sconce.

This empire style crystal chandelier is a spectacular vision for your entry, dining, or living room! Comes complete as shown, layered in crystal like a beautiful bride, to grace your home. Four sockets, up to 100 watts each, provide ample light. These reflect many times over in the layers of lead crystal prisms.

For grand scale dining rooms that have a 12-guest (or more) table, we recommend two chandeliers, one toward each end of the table. If you have very high ceiling, we have an extension kit to bring the chandelier down to a proper table height.

This chandelier is wonderful not only with Victorian and Edwardian decor , but also French Empire Revival , Renaissance Revival , Byzantine , Traditional , and all modern formal decors . 

Due to popular demand, we now offer the Oxley Giddings in an antique finish, which works well with bronze and oil rubbed bronze home hardware. This sparkling crystal chandelier comes standard at 45” tall and a diameter of 34”. It comes with a longer stem than is shown in the photo. There is a single tier of lights, with layer upon layer of crystals to add sparkle.

Rather than just being some thrown together crystal chandelier with no history (like others on the market), ours is a documented gas chandelier made about 1870 by the high end manufacturer Oxley-Giddings. Nice to have authenticity when carefully re-doing a fine Victorian home. We also offer this light in traditional polished brass.

This lovely piece sparkles like a jewel, appearing to be more than its 600 watts. Pair with one of our genuine plaster ceiling medallions for traditional Victorian style. 

This spectacular double-tier crystal chandelier is a documented gas chandelier made about 1870 by Oxley-Giddings. O-G offered only the finest quality lead crystal, materials, and construction, making it THE choice of wealthy families around the world. In 2008 it was chosen for a historical restoration of the capital building in Washington, DC by the Architects of the Whitehouse.

If 51” is too tall we can adjust by deducting one or two of the two optional top tiers of crystals to get it as short as 40”. Or, we can make it anywhere between these two heights but will take some adaptation and perhaps moving crystals around. Lengthening is also possible for a small additional charge.

As a later Victorian light, it has the larger 4" glass shade fitters. Shades are sold separately. Any 4” fitter shade can be used, even antiques. But, we recommend the oakleaf crown shade we created. The only properly made crown shade made in the world today. Wonderfully hand blown, etched and hand cut like the antiques. Also see our genuine cut glass lead crystal gas light shade . When you see the beauty of light through this shade, you'll understand the higher cost. Wheel cut  (by hand) glass shades. Yes, there is not a much finer ambience for antique lighting, than wheel cut glass shades.

 Early plaster artisans applied plaster directly to walls & ceilings, for an ideal sculpting & painting surface. In 1856 France, Desachy took out a patent "for producing architectural moldings" from plaster. Castings made off-site were much more affordable.

Our plaster ceiling medallions are hand-crafted in Port Townsend, WA, from exquisitely detailed molds. We use "pottery plaster", reinforced with hemp fiber. This makes the decorative medallion 5 times stronger, yet with a smooth Parian finish like fine figurines.

You don't need 12' ceilings to enjoy the graceful transition with a ceiling medallion from your ceiling to light fixture. Leave naturally white, or to add color, seal or prime the surface first. Medallions make our showroom spectacular, and are appropriate with Rococo lighting, Art Deco lighting, Art Nouveau lighting,and Classical . Even a bungalow's 8-foot ceilings are graced when decorative plaster is added in the living or dining room.

Don't forget the medallion mounting hardware! This is a simple solution to mounting any of our plaster ceiling medallions . These hangers are available in 5 different lengths. Our medallions state their size, using the thickness as a "T" measurement; this will help you decide which pipe length to order. Each hanger can be used alone or in addition to our medallion mounting joist hanger  for extra security.

This is one of our loveliest medallions.  This plaster ceiling medallion with the outer edge shaped as well as the inner details. More round than elongated acanthus leaf design. Great detail for the amount of depth. What drama!

This is our cornucopia design ceiling medallion . This medallion would look appropriate not only with Victorian lighting, but the square edges work well with Art Deco lighting , Mission lighting , and Arts & Crafts lighting  too.

Not every medallion must be round! This stylized shell or scallop design medallion would be at home with less floral styles such as Greek revival or Art Deco , as well as Victorian period homes.  .

This ceiling medallion features drapery and tassels forming the interesting shape in the center. Shown here with contrasting paint colors to bring out the details. Between the drapery sections are clear ivy leaves. The outer ring is acanthus swags. This medallion would be beautiful painted to match your draperies and furnishings! Depth of 4 1/2" gives it great presence.

Many people prefer the quality of real plaster over the styrofoam medallions being sold today. See all of our quality plaster medallions at vintagehardware.com

Normally we only recreate antique American lighting , but when something this unique comes along we simply cannot resist reproducing it. This is a reproduction of an early 20th century French 9-light chandelier. The cupids give a nice active fluidity to the fixture, and have very sweet faces. This fixture weighs in at an astounding 100 pounds of solid, lost wax cast, bronze and brass. Comes in a lovely antique finish, slightly darker than the photo appears. 

Shades are sold separately. We know this was an original early electric light because the original shade fitters have a 2 1/4" diameter. To see the shades that are pictured with this fixture, click here: hand blown cut glass shade . We have an abundant selection of 2 1/4" glass shades that would fit and look wonderful with this fixture. This chandelier measures 28 1/2" wide by 60" tall, but we can shorten it for you down to 34" upon request. There are nine incandescent sockets which take bulbs up to 100 watts each.

This cherub Sconce is great for a dramatic hallway, bathroom light or romantic bedroom light. Paired with our cherub chandelier , it would create beautiful ambiance in the dining room, too. We are currently working on a four light pendant featuring two cherubs back to back, for smaller rooms.

We also offer a cherub newel post light , for a complete suite of Neo Rococo flair. A charming touch in any classical, rococo , Gothic, Victorian , or Edwardian decor.

Silicon Bronze is a durable finishing alloy added to our brass to make a sturdier metal for this lovely statue-like light. It was originally a wide flame gas light , so we've maintained the 4" size shade fitter.

You'll see this light in many movies portraying the gaslight era , as it was popular not only in wealthy homes, but also at saloons and hotels. Movie set designers and TV show set designers are some of our best customers!

These fixtures were usually wired in, and controlled by a wall switch. We can install an On/off switch on the base for an extra fee.

We also provide cherub doorbells , other cherub sconces , and decorative items, for wonderful impact.

                      You've never seen anything like it!
 This large Victorian Rococo Chandelier  is our newest neo-rococo creation from the Mid‑Victorian gasolier era. Early American Rococo gas lighting fixtures are very rare nowadays.

There are only 5 catalogs that are known to have existed between 1840 and 1870. We have been fortunate enough to to find no less than 8 Starr, Fellows .

We recast from these original fixtures for a completely accurate reproduction. We believe we have engineered a truly fine lighting fixture, based on historical record, ready to grace the lobby or dining room of an up‑scale mansion or five star hotels.

This Rococo reproduction has 30 arms on three tiers with a diameter of 68“ for a total of 30 lights. The height of the “body only” is approximately 64” before the stem is added.  Adding the stem, with the lovely stem 3 cupid decor section (see photo below),  gives the standard height at 100“.

The arms on the bottom tier are larger in scale than those on top, for a beautifully proportioned effect. Used singly, in pairs, or in series, these lights will not be overpowered by large rooms as other smaller fixtures probably would be.

Finishes available:  Polished brass, Satin Brass, Hi/lo antique brass, Oil rubbed bronze finish. The photos show the Hi Lo Antique Brass finish. 

Each decorative casting is made by the Lost Wax Casting process.  This is the same process used by jewelry makers.  Because this is a very precise casting method, the castings are simply lovely.

We have been making Neo-Rococo recreated gasolier chandeliers for about 20 years. We have placed them in the United States White House and many other important locations.  When you consider us, experience and a special level of historical expertise are unmatched.

On the largest bowl, for the bottom tier, there are 6 cast full figures.  These figures are seen from a 2nd floor walkway when the fixture is hung eye level with the bottom tier or slightly below.  The very bottom bowl is a plethora of female masks and floral decor.  The center stem has 3 part flowers hanging like the sunken gardens of fame. Each arm is curvilinear with a floral leaf fitter to hold the shade. 

The canopy is a lovely beginning point with mythological masks and stylized floral decor.  The center stem contains a design element surmounted by three gods of the harvest. Every space seems to be covered with neo-rococo decor while being totally functional. 
Shade Fitter size is 2 5/8”  for old gasolier type shades, of which we make six glass shade designs in two sizes. Our glass shades are blown into antique molds, then the details are hand cut. The fine quality lead crystal glass shades give the perfect ambiance to a vintage gas light .

 We have also recreated these gorgeous Rococo Newel posts  and sconces. Newel posts are a beautiful addition to any stairway or entry, all of our three Rococo newel post lights match our 900-series Starr, Fellows ceiling lights. Our sconces are made out of heavy solid brass, compared to Starr & Fellows' later, thinner lights. Our recasting is from the heavier fixture. Breath-taking results occur when using this Rococo suite together.
