JUPITERLICHT
MADE IN GERMANY
A very rare early German cinema/stage light, which has been rewired with a period fabric cord. Would be a very stylish decorative living room piece. The wiring can handle up to 500 watts, but for domestic use, such as using it next to a sofa, 40-100 watts would be sufficient. It currently has a 40 watt bulb fitted, which I find ideal to read under.
The construction is very solid, with many pieces made of a light alloy and a cast iron base. The height adjustable handle is made of ebonized bakelite. The original glass and internal reflector are in exceptional condition. The wiring had been redone for domestic use, with an on/off switch attached to the cord and a new period style plug. The fixture and base have been repainted. At a point in it’s life, someone hand-painted the light housing, so it had to be sanded, in order to achieve a smooth finish. I’m not sure of the original colour, but there was black paint present under the layers. The light has some dings, as expected of a period item, which evidently got lots of use.
During the 1920s, Berlin was one of the worlds premier film and arts centres. The classic movie, Metropolis was filmed during this period. Jupiterlicht must have been the most advanced and desired lighting during the era.
There are very few surviving Jupiterlicht lights from this period, none of which seem to be for sale. It’s also highly unusual to see one, which had been made for the US or British market.
Offered at $1195.-
The item will ship in two boxes by UPS. It must be insured for the full sale amount. Please be in contact for shipping and handling charges.
International shipping offered. Delivery is available throughout New England and the New York City area.

Offering a set of four handmade Hitchcock chairs. Circa 1820-1840. They have a nice patina, with an old shellac finish present. The chairs recently received a coat of very fine museum quality English wax. All the joints are very stable and the chairs feel very solid. There are nice details of a skilled craftsman, with carving marks and nicely turned legs.
Most Hitchcock chairs are painted black, but these happened to be finished Yellow Pine & hardwood. Under one of the chairs, there is very faint painted lettering, showing to whom the chairs were made. I haven’t been able to make out the entire name. The chairs came from a farmhouse in Western Massachusetts and were likely made locally, with some parts potentially from the Hitchcock Co. In 1818, the Hitchcock company started in the business of selling chair parts.
Offered at $595.- SOLD
Please be in contact for shipping and handling charges. They could ship UPS, with two chairs to a box. Freight is another option. International shipping can be arranged.

Offering an original 1940′s Western Electric Telephone. It’s in very fine condition, with very few scratches to the handle or bakelite telephone base. The 1950′s cord going to the receiver has a few cracks in the wire covering. This does not affect the interior cord and the receiver works perfectly. Both the speaker and microphone are crisp and clear. The rotary dial is smooth and made of metal. The ringer is fantastic and reminds me of so many brilliant 1940′s movies.
I’m personally amazed at how nice the shine is and how little wear is present. The original four-prong plug is attached and can be plugged into the wall outlet with an $8.00 adapter from an electronics store. It could also be wired right into the wall outlet.
I’ve personally tested the phone by attaching the wires in the plug, to a phone outlet. All the functions work perfectly. Early telephones were meant to last forever and almost never break.
Offered at $125.- SOLD
