About the Item
A collection of seven vintage clear and colored automobile headlight glass Insert plates mounted on stands. We believe these were made for a number of different model A era vehicles. Of the 1930’s period American Art Deco style. These were used on vintage cars of the era with classic headlamps.
Most of the plates are of a similar size, with one being noticeably smaller. The height of the pieces vary depending on the height of the stands. This collection reflects the stylistic tendencies of manufacturers working within the early period where headlights were mandated to be circular (which ended in the 1980’s).
Information we have on these lenses as follows: Three “Warner” lenses (circa 1910-1920), one green headlight (circa 1910-1920), one “Queen Lens” (circa 1910-1920), and a “Moore light” lens (circa 1910-1920), and one “Halophone” lens (circa 1910-1920). These names indicate the manufacturer's particular style for the Model A car.
In good condition. A few plates have some gentle wear consistent with age and use. With the black iron stands these have been repurposed as handsome sculptural curiosities. They would make a great feature in any arrangement in a living room as a striking centerpiece.

Width: 9" / 22.86 cm

Pair of Art Nouveau Tiffany Style Lamps with Hand Leaded Glass Shades
Located in Dallas, TX
A pair of extraordinary art nouveau Tiffany style lamps with hand-made leaded glass shades. Each lamp shade has a unique finely detailed leaded glass design. The body is made of bronze with a rich chocolate brown patina. It is supported by six stylized lions paws. A star shape sits on the bottom under the legs and over the plate that the lamp body stands on. Imagery on the leaded glass shade includes leaves and dragonflies defined by a metal frame. Large deep rose-colored oval jewel shapes sit on top around the shade. This pattern is often referred to as the drophead dragonfly shade because the undulating lower edge of the shade is formed by the flying insects. Delicate tracery and soft colors are drawn on the wings of the dragon flies. The canopy on top of the shade is also reticulated bronze with a beaded finial. The textured glass that creates a foliate effect contains subtle shades of green and teals.
Unsigned.
In very good condition. Some minor gentle wear and aging consistent with age and use.
