Authentic Art Deco, slip shade, mixed metals, 5 light chandelier circa 1936-38.
The finish, while being cleaned up a mite, is original and pleasant. Wonderful condition.
The shades are simply a treat, and in remarkable condition. This is the larger slip shade made during the later part part of the Art Deco slip shade era. Its purpose was to allow bigger bulbs and more light spread from those made just a couple of years before, which had size limitations.
All the Art Deco makers got into this scoop shade profile. They varied the design of the bowl a bit, so telling them apart is not very easy, since at first glance they all look so similar. This version has a nice, clean edge, with a ribbed bottom section. But it is interesting to note how the center rib of the shade matches the ribbed column and ceiling canopy. This is more a Streamline fixture due to these simplistic elements.
