Hi Pam,
Thanks to Greg and his Moe catalogs, I now know that this is a Moe Venetian featured in their 1965 catalog. I picked this up at our local Re-Store for $10! It’s in great shape! I thought I’d share, since it ties in with this topic…

Thanks, Susan - very cool! … And look [...]

Our series on lights spotted by Jimmy continues:
Also, I don’t know how much your site goes into the late 60s/70s, but these globe lights they sell are just too good to not be mentioned! If you go into the indoor decorative section of the catalog, page 7A has a whole listing of hanging globes, ellipses, [...]

This ceiling fixture is really beautiful. It would look great in a foyer, a den, a bedroom or a living room. Hey, even a kitchen. This light is also another example of how mainstream middle class mid century modern - could demonstrate incredible artistry. Simply gorgeous.

I received a catalog from LAH today and spotted this reproduction ceiling fixture right away. I love that it has pin-dots in both the glass shade facing bottom, and on the aluminum housing itself. A great kitchen or mudroom fixture!

For those of you on the hunt to reno your vintage bath, these sconces are delightful. I can imagine them to the right and left of a mirror. Or, if you have two sinks, one above each.
This seller always features beautiful stuff, very high quality and generally not cheap. Whether you go for these or [...]

Brian, a new reader, emailed about a great company — Remcraft — that produces 50s and 60s style lighting — much of it near-exact replica’s of their vintage styles. (See them in the 1953 pink Formica kitchen we looked at just a few weeks ago.) Remcraft is a client of Brian’s, he is a [...]
