American Brass 18 Light Outstanding 1920s Chandelier Exceptional quality is definitely here. The chandelier dates from circa 1910 to 1930. It is arranged with 12 lights around the periphery, and SIX lights in the center. This light is simply gorgeous, and gives an ambiance that is hard to find. In addition to the gorgeous frame, the bottom panels have amber mica inserts which adds such a nice warm tone. Measurements: * Height: 30" at present, but can be changed to longer to suit the application. * Width: 35" (measured from outside-bulb to outside-bulb) We installed decorative round opal bulbs with a 4" diameter called G30, which are readily available from all electrical stores. They are even available in LED form from Feit as a G25 dimmable LED bulb, if so inclined. In the center are six medium based sockets. Three sockets light the interior reticulated panel, while three are dedicated to the outside bottom rim. We chose the G30 bulb with a nice opal finish for the outside rim, which outputs 40 watts each. There are bulbs with higher wattages, but we thought 12 bulbs yielding 480 watts of lighting might be best for most applications. Then, with the addition of the six inside bulbs with their indirect lighting, this total can be scaled upwards. Showing a proper picture of a bare bulb fixture is difficult against a white background. The light bulbs simply disappear. We wanted to show that this light suits any color scheme you might choose, so we chose multiple colored backgrounds to display this fine light. Hopefully, one of the backgrounds will come somewhat close to your eventual color scheme for an idea of contrast ability. This fixture has been totally re-wired in our UL shop, and will have the UL label as such. New sockets and wire were installed. This simply gorgeous chandelier is true, fine, American craftsmanship. It is complete, and comes with all the mounting hardware. Ready for installation. Price: $3,850.00 plus careful crate packing and freight shipping. 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!   « Less

Circa 1850 Rod Hung Gasolier Attributed to Cornelius, Baker Company Chandeliers with figures were popular during the 1850s. Called Allegorical Chandeliers, they were very  More »

Circa 1850 Rod Hung Gasolier Attributed to Cornelius, Baker Company Chandeliers with figures were popular during the 1850s. Called Allegorical Chandeliers, they were very much en vogue during this time. Chandeliers that are this early usually have had changes made to them for many reasons...i.e. conversion from gas to electricity, style changes, shades break, homes are re-located... What used to be 2 5⁄8" fitters for the shades has been changed over to the ubiquitous 1890 4" fitter shade type. And the gas keys have been modified to prevent them from cutting the electrical wire that now passes through the original gas pipe. Peter Myers' book "Gaslighting in America" also shows a rod hung chandelier with changes similar to this chandelier...page 85...illustration from the Smithsonian Institution. Other than the two main changes, we have a rather attractive four arm rod hung antique gasolier by one of the most famous makers of gasoliers for the early American gas age: Cornelius. The main giveaway is the gas key. Gas keys of this age were like signatures, and chandeliers that were never signed can often be identified by their gas key designs. The gas key on this gasolier is the same as the pictures from the Smithsonian. Now, after re-wiring in our UL shop, this gasolier (chandelier) is ready to be reinstalled into someone's nice Victorian home. Measurements: * Diameter: 29" * Height: 49"; definitely made to hang in the taller ceilings from the Victorian era. $4,950.00 for this authentic, re-wired, UL approved Cornelius, Baker Company gasolier now converted to electricity...plus freight shipping costs. Freight Shipping will be calculated and invoiced separately after purchase. If you would like a shipping quote before purchase, please contact us...we would be happy to provide one!   « Less

Edwardian Pewter & Brass Ceiling Bowl with Four Drop Shades Pretty nice to find an unusual light with shades, still in this nice condition. Yes, there are parts that show minor marks of age-related living, but for the most part...this is an exceptional example of lighting with original shades. Normally these lights have opal white or simple frosted shades...but here we see a raised design near the neck with a gentle muted frosted shade below. Circa 1910-20, it has been restored to fine condition, and as can be seen, makes a great statement as to the antiquity of the light. For the photographs, we used low wattage bulbs to take the pictures so the automatic lens would not be blown-out by the strong light. Naturally, when you place normal bulbs into this chandelier, the shades will glow nicely and much more warmly. Measurements: * Height: 26" * Diameter: 22" (measured shade-tip to shade-tip) This chandelier has been completely re-wired with new sockets and all new wire in our UL listed workshop. $984.50 for the complete chandelier with shades...having been completely restored and re-wired and ready to hang...plus careful packaging and shipping. $50.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.
