John C Virden Medieval Gothic or Spanish Revival Style Hanging Light Fixture
By John C. Virden Co.
Located in Topeka, KS
Marvelous vintage John C. Virden Medieval Gothic or Spanish Revival Style Hanging Light Fixture comprised of a 5-arm pentagon shaped black iron and wood fixture, a black iron chain, hammered iron details, candle posts, and a round brass canopy. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century.
Just hanging here EXPLODING with mid-century EXCELLENCE!!!! This is a fabulous vintage John C. Virden hanging light fixture comprised of a beautiful 5 arm black wood star or pentagon shaped fixture with lovely, scrolled iron details under the arms. Each arm bares hammered iron straps across the top and down the side and host a black iron bobeche on the outer edge holding white candle covers and a scrolled detail that hangs below the arm. A pentagon shaped ferrule floats in the center above the candles with five attached black chains draping from each side of the pentagon down to a hook attachment aside the bobeche. The entire fixture hangs from a gorgeous black chain ascending from a round brass canopy. It is CRAZY gorgeous!!! And it’s hardwired so you could use dimming or flickering lightbulbs and add some wonderful ambiance to whatever room you choose to install. This chandelier light fixture is going to be fabulous over your Spanish Revival style dining table but it would also blend in beautifully with Gothic, Medieval, or Renaissance style décor. Or use it to make a bold statement in an entry way, over an island in your kitchen, or over the coffee table in your living room. We can’t say enough about this phenomenal light fixture. This light fixture is EXACTLY what the designer ordered!!!

Late 1920s Vintage Dogs Head 2 bulb Sconces
By John C. Virden Co.
Located in Prescott, US
Vintage 1930s cast iron wall sconces, made by Virden. Captivating design with elements of Spanish Revival, Arts & Crafts, Tudor, and Craftsman all blended together very nicely. Needless to say these would fit right at home in any interior with the aforementioned decorating scheme. The cast hammered finish and whimsical figure head design make them great for an Arts & Crafts, Tudor, or Bungalow interior. Would look great on each side of a river rock fireplace.
Refinished to highlight the wonderful and playful design and to match one of Virden's colors of the period.
These were shown in a 1934 Sears...
