Sconces
Historical Wall-Mounted Lighting with Warmth, Craftsmanship & Architectural Presence
Enrich your lighting installation with authentic antique glass and metal shades and diffusers, each carefully selected to shape, soften, and elevate the light quality while adding original period detail. Our collection features hand-blown opal glass, ribbed and prismatic glass diffusers, acid-etched patterns, vintage schoolhouse globes, flame-shaped shades, industrial reflectors, and geometric Art Deco designs sourced from historic homes and early commercial buildings.
Every shade carries subtle artisan marks or a distinct patina that highlights its age and design origins. Compatible with a wide range of vintage fixtures—including chandeliers, pendants, wall sconces, and early electric lights—these shades transform brightness, enhance color temperature, and contribute authentic style to restoration projects or modern decorating with a historic twist.
Select these one-of-a-kind shades to restore antique fixtures, replace missing parts, or introduce historic character into remodeled spaces with unique, time-honored lighting details.

More about Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company: Many of the glass manufacturers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries had ties to one another, whether from working together or for each other, and Quezal is a perfect example of the era's interconnectedness. The firm was founded in 1901 by Martin Bach Sr, Thomas Johnson, Nicholas Bach, Lena Scholtz, and Adolph Demuth, many of them former Tiffany employees. Their work was notable for its use of bold iridescent colors, such as blue, gold, purple, and green. From the beginning Quezal was considered the first real competition for Tiffany. They soon had their own competition though, when two of its employees branched out and started their own firm, Lustre Art Company! Eventually Martin Bach Sr. became the majority owner in the company, and when he died in 1921 his son took over. Martin Bach Jr was not as adept as a businessman, however, and Quezal closed in 1924. Even with a couple of decades worth of inventory, Quezal kept its production limited compared to their contemporaries, so the surviving pieces are sometimes hard to come by.We find that early antique lighting was designed as objects of art and we treat each fixture with careful attention to preserve original beauty.
