The Sterling Bronze Company and their contemporaries, Edward F. Caldwell & Co., of New York City, were the premier designers and manufacturers of electric lighting. The firms left a legacy of custom designed and finely-made, metal gates, lanterns, chandeliers, ceiling and wall fixtures, floor and table lamps, and other decorative objects that can be found today in many metropolitan area churches, public buildings, offices, clubs, and residences including, the White House (1902 renovation), St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York, New York Public Library, and Rockefeller Center.
These have just been reduced to 50% of what other pairs are selling for, so offers cannot be considered.
