Arizona Biltmore Chrome-Plated Adjustable Sconces from 1929 Rare

About the Item

The two chrome-plated adjustable sconces were made by the Bryant Lighting Company in 1929 for the Arizona Biltmore. There is a strong possibility that these lamps were designed specifically for the hotel by either Warren McArthur, Albert Chase McArthur or Frank Lloyd Wright as adjustable lighting for the hotel.   The sconces have been professionally refitted with new sockets and rewired and are ready to be hard wired into place.

  • Rare Warren McArthur Arizona Biltmore Era Lounge Chair and Ottoman C. 1931
    By Warren McArthur Corporation, Warren McArthur
    Located in Camden, ME
    A wonderful Warren McArthur club chair and ottoman that personify the comfort of his furniture. Warren's patented compression assembly was designed to provide flexibility in the frame to add more comfort via a slight flex in addition to the cushions. The aluminum strap back added to this flexibility in contrast to the rigid welded steel tube frame that was the standard of McArthur's contemporaries. This club chair and ottoman were manufactured at the Warren McArthur Furniture Company in Los Angeles between 1931/33. The chair's design, while similar in overall look, predates Warren McArthur's classic Park Avenue Lounge (Style No. 1003 EAU p. 9 of his 1936 corporation catalog) by at least two years. This is the only example of this chair that I have seen. The pair was said to have come from the Arizona Biltmore but I cannot confirm that provenance. The absence of labels is typical of all Arizona Biltmore furniture...
