This substantial antique six-sided outdoor pendant light was made between 1900 and 1910, most likely in the United States. The heavy and very ornate frame and mount are cast bronze which has been painted flat black many times over the years, but is visible where the paint has flaked off and on the ceiling cap. The six sides are done in stained glass panels of textured clear glass, with a deep yellow diamond shaped accent running down the center of each panel. The ornate top of the fixture is done with thick and heavy stepped curves with a pineapple styled finial atop each of the six sections. This Edwardian pendant light...

A rare pair of hollow-cast bronze sphinxes, almost certainly removed from an Art Deco building interior or facade, executed with exceptional sculptural ambition and archaeological specificity. Each figure is modeled as a recumbent sphinx with a human head wearing the traditional nemes headdress with uraeus — the royal cobra at the brow — and a broad decorative pectoral collar incised with geometric and hieroglyph-inspired ornament. The lion body is carefully articulated with musculature and surface detailing consistent with high-quality foundry work of the interwar period. Most remarkably, each sphinx extends its human forearms forward to cradle a spherical vessel — originally a lamp socket, gas jet, or candle cup — in outstretched hands, transforming the figures from purely decorative objects into functional architectural light fixtures of considerable drama. Each rests on an integral flat plinth base. The hollow construction confirms these as purpose-built architectural elements rather than studio bronzes: the technique was standard practice for large-scale building ornament in the 1920s and 1930s, allowing monumental scale without prohibitive weight or cost. The rich dark brown patina with traces of verde antique in the recesses is consistent with decades of interior installation and speaks to the quality of the bronze alloy. The iconographic program — sphinxes as light-bearers — draws directly on the wave of Egyptomania that swept Western architecture and decorative arts following Howard Carter's excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, a cultural moment that fused the ancient imagery of sacred guardianship with the bold geometry and ornamental ambition of the emerging Art Deco style. Sphinxes appeared throughout this period as threshold guardians...
