A very neat shell motif British theatre chandelier. This chandelier, and sconces that match it, are often called “Odeon Lights†since the main movie house chain in Britain named all their theatres “Odeonâ€. In fact...â€Odeon†is often a synonymous term for a movie theatre, i.e. “Let’s go to the Odeonâ€.
This chandelier was used with frosted, amber, and even pink tinted shades around the turn of the century. In older British theaters, you can still see them existing where they have been for over half a century or more.
We have rewired this chandelier to UL American standards with a new American center socket cluster for three bulbs. One bulb lights each shade, with each socket rated for up to 100 watts. However, antique shades can be quite fragile and easily susceptible to damage from excess heat, so we recommend no more than 60 - 65 watts if you choose to use incandescent light bulbs. If brighter light is needed, today's LED and Compact Fluorescent light bulbs make good substitutions...they have a greater lumen output without the excess heat of incandescent bulbs.
The chandelier is ready to hang with an American standard light mounting kit which we will supply.
