Vintage Gecoray F45000 Silvered Glass Wall Sconces by G.E.C
Located in Nottingham, GB
A STUNNING RUN OF GEC MERCURY GLASS WALL LIGHTS
PRICE IS PER LIGHT
These G.E.C "GECoRAY" silvered glass reflectors were originally designed for shop window displays.
Made in England circa 1950
The Silvered glass has wonderful patina and no shade is alike, the aluminium galleries, brass swan neck brackets and baseplate have all been finished to a high polish but are left untreated to age naturally.
Brochure images are taken from our 1951 G.E.C Handbook and the shades are not shown in the 1935 handbook, Glass type F45000 with aluminium gallery for high shallow windows and medium dressing.
Vintage lighting from G.E.C (The General Electric Company Limited) is a type of lighting fixture that was produced by one of the UK's oldest and most well-known electrical engineering companies. Founded in 1886, G.E.C specialized in the design and manufacture of electrical equipment, including lighting fixtures, generators, and electric motors. G.E.C was known for producing high-quality, reliable products that were designed to last for many years. Vintage lighting fixtures from G.E.C are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of vintage and industrial design. These fixtures often feature simple, functional designs with a focus on practicality and efficiency, such as pendant lights, wall sconces, and floor lamps. G.E.C lighting fixtures are typically made from high-quality materials such as brass, copper, and steel, and many feature distinctive detailing or labeling that identifies them as G.E.C products. Today, vintage G.E.C lighting fixtures are popular among those seeking to create an industrial, vintage, or antique-inspired look in their homes or commercial spaces. Many G.E.C lighting fixtures have been restored and repurposed for modern use, making them a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for those who appreciate the craftsmanship and history of vintage...

"Superior {Great Lakes)" by Patrick Fitzgerald
Located in Chicago, IL
This abstract work by Chicago artist Patrick Fitzgerald belongs to a series of “track paintings” that materialize the imagined tracks navigated by his miniature soap-box car sculptures. Inspired by slot-car racetracks, each painting depicts a meandering, yet cyclical path that twists and turns upon itself in an endless loop. Isolated from time and place, the painting achieves a sense of timelessness and draws a through line linking the past, the present, and the future.
Entitled "Superior," this track painting is one of five compositions inspired by the Great Lakes. Like all of Fitzgerald's works, the paintings are deeply responsive to his surroundings and encapsulate the unique industrial histories and geologic wonders of the American midwest. Fitzgerald describes his Great Lakes series as "a contemplation of these wondrous bodies of water that have impressed and mystified me beyond words since childhood. My desire within each work is to create the timeless quality of a relic imbued with nostalgia and emotive power."
The focal point of "Superior" is a meandering loop of thin, colorful stripes, contrasted by a dark blue-black field that recalls the deep waters of Lake Superior. Like beams of light cutting through darkness, the rainbow track twists and turns to fill the surface, surrounded by round forms reminiscent of floating air bubbles. At once bright and colorful yet dark and mysterious, "Superior" evokes the sensation of being underwater, painted to resemble "a track that is submerged or beneath a surface, but illuminated and glowing." Fitzgerald's inspiration for this work comes from his formative memory of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald...

Shop Unique Furniture on 1stDibs
When it comes to shopping for vintage, new and antique furniture — whether you’re finally moving into that long-coveted loft apartment, ranch-style home, townhouse or furnishing your weekend house on the lake — you should think of your home as a stage for the seating, tables, lighting, storage cabinets and other pieces that best match your personality.
Coziness, comfort and creating a welcoming space are among the important things to consider when buying furniture, whether that means seeking strict cohesion or rooms characterized by a mix-and-match assembly of varying shapes, colors and materials. And for those who now work from home, exercise, eat and relax within the same four walls every day, they’ll also want to think about flexibility and an innovative approach.
Have you built your dream kitchen?
Is your current living-room furniture all that it could be?
Does your toast-worthy bar or vintage bar cart exude equal parts class and cheeriness?
And importantly, is your home office — backyard or otherwise — a happy one, regardless of the design style you happen to gravitate toward?
Although mid-century modern, rustic, minimalist, Art Deco and contemporary looks remain popular, they aren’t the only styles available to design connoisseurs.
Furniture styles are nothing if not fluid, meaning what’s popular one year may not be the next. That’s why it’s crucial to not only pay attention to interior-design trends but also focus on the styles that speak to you. That way, you (and your interior designer, if that is in the plans) can work to create a home that’s entirely your own, complete with impressively modern decor as well as an array of history’s universally renowned iconic designs.
It’s difficult to single out well-recognized designs from what is a crowded pantheon of celebrated and seminal furnishings. Certain outstanding designs have such stellar quality they’ve endured for decades as bona fide cultural treasures, still being manufactured, in many cases, by the same venerable companies that shepherded them into being (think Herman Miller, Knoll and Fritz Hansen). Some works come immediately to mind as contenders for any short list. When you’re discussing the most popular mid-century modern chairs, for example, no tally would be complete without citing designs by Arne Jacobsen, Charlotte Perriand, Charles and Ray Eames and Hans Wegner.
Good furniture, be it authentic vintage furniture or new & custom furniture, allows you to comfortably sit and tell your favorite stories. Great furniture tells a story of its own.
On 1stDibs, find everything from sofas to serveware to credenzas to coffee tables, and every other type of antique, vintage and new furniture you need to create a singular space that you’ll be proud to call home.
