Help me ID these lamps
Hi all:
I'm about to start demo in this house and there are two interesting looking fixtures I'd like to save. Not because I find them attractive, in fact they are hideous, but they seem to be well made and expensive (when they were bought.)
The chandelier is at

and the bathroom fixture at

If anyone can ID a style, period, name, value, etc. I'd appreciate it. And if you've been looking for just this cuz it matches something, pls feel free to make an offer

Take them to lamp doctor on Coney Island avenue - they will buy them from you to refurbish.

Is it just me or do these both look faux old? They look like something made 50s-80s to look older. Kind of hard to tell from a photo.

The sconce is antique but not original to the house. I'm not sure about the chandelier though. I see what 11:18 sees. The patina on the metal is that intentionally-aged kind and looks reproduction from the 50's. Maybe it's as old as 1930's. It would appeal to fans of Hollywood Regency with that blue and the somewhat bamboo looking texture on the arms of the chandelier.

11:18, they are definitely faux old, I figured 1950s-1970s. Still, they seem solid well made pieces.
