Large Bare Bulb 1920s Chandelier Big Antique Commercial Light Fixture (ANT-454) - For Sale

Large Bare Bulb 1920s Chandelier Big Antique Commercial Light Fixture (ANT-454)
Price: $2695.00
1920s bank light, which is timeless...Deco...Edwardian...Art & Crafts...

We were fortunate to obtain five of these fantastic original bank or commercial building lights. We have restored one at this time, and we are offering it now. If multiples are desired, we can accommodate with an allowance for some restoration time.

The metal is steel and iron, with some minor brass elements, all finished out in an old gold finish. Naturally, with time, this old gold has become like a worn Persian carpet...i.e. a bit muted, and a little thin here and there. But...being purists at heart, we are NOT re-doing the gold, and instead are leaving it as cleaned up a little. It is an antique after all.

When this fixture was originally built, there was not much of a UL to speak of...so they played fast and loose with the wiring. But, we are a UL shop, and cannot do that. So, in the rewiring of this antique, we separated the lights into three circuits, and added a ground wire for the internal wire used. All three circuits come together in the canopy where one #12 wire unites the three circuits for installation. All new porcelain sockets were installed, and now this item is truly up to modern code.

Measurements:
•Large Rim: 20 sockets, with a diameter of 48 ½".
•Small Rim: 4 sockets, with a diameter of 18".
•Height: Present height is 55", but can be shortened by as much as 15" if desired. Naturally...it also can be lengthened to any length.

Completely rewired to UL standards in our UL certified lamp shop with new porcelain sockets. Each socket is capable of 100 watts. We only put a 40 watt bulb into each socket, but much larger wattages are available for these "G" type (Globe) light bulbs if a total of 960 watts is not deemed sufficient. Bulbs “do” come with the fixture.

A heavy duty mounting kit will be supplied.

Simply a great find for that classic ambiance returned. Going onto the net and looking up 20s banks and commercial buildings, this type of light will often be found in several of those old pictures. Where did they all go? We have found very few indeed. Especially in multiples.

Price: $2,695.00 each, plus Freight Shipping costs.

Freight costs will be calculated and invoiced separately after purchase. If you would like a freight quote before purchase, please contact us...we would be happy to provide one!
