1920s Lights

I am having lots of fun with the salvage/reuse aspect of our reno project. So far we have agreed to reuse one of the pebble glass doors and then have found a home through sites like craig's list for the other two. They are going to be used in a barn reno project in the area (and we made a little spending money when people said no one would want them).

As for the lights, we decided to reuse the lantern hall light (first photo). I know that it is a little gothic but I really wanted to reuse at least one of the original lights. This light is from the 1920/30s and will cost about $50 to rewire. Faye from Arevco in Westboro was really helpful and told me that the light has been upgraded before but needs to be cleaned up and grounded.

We decided not to update the iron chandelier. Apparently it is circa 1950/60s and used to be used for candles. Someone used 'pitch' (also used in road construction) to attach bulbs in order to have it wired. It too needs to be cleaned and rewired. The chandelier is now posted on craig's list to see if anyone else wants it.

The four gold sconces are also believed to be original to the house (1920/30s) except for the fact that they were painted gold since that time. They are also posted to see if anyone wants them (and are ready for cleaning and rewiring). Any takers?
