* Circa 1890 * Frosted Deep acid etched Gas shades with fleur di lis and flame designs * Rococo cast arm backs * Serpentine arms * 39 1/2" drop x 30" diameter * Drop can be adjusted if desired. * Available: 1 The Gas Chandelier Period began in the 1850's and followed the use of fluids (e.g. kerosene, oil) to power chandeliers. Gas was manufactured from coal. This was an improvement from a safety point of view because fluids would tend to flow and drip to cause fire hazards. A typical gas chandelier (e.g. 3 arm gas chandelier) would have 3 arms with bowl shades on the end of the arms housing a gas flame that would light the room . The wattage output from gas chandeliers was fairly low.   « Less

* Circa 1930 * Medallion design in Chain * Egg & dart design in holder * Wonderful Library light * 21" drop x 14" diameter x 3" depth * Drop can be adjusted if desired. * Available : 1 This wonderful Alabaster Inverted bowl would be a great light for a foyer, library or bedroom. The natural amber veining would make a great compliment to natural woodwork shelving and multicolor of old book jackets. Antique Alabaster fixtures feature bold veining as opposed to new alabaster fixtures which tend to be white with no veins. It is a style difference. New alabaster fixtures are probably thought to go well in contemporary settings and are therefore paired down to a large extent. Probably the need for a large quantity product line means that the manufacturer must reach the lowest common denominator which would be white with a little variation. We think the approach was the opposite with these old bowls where individual character was desired.   « Less

* Circa 1880 * Large Scale * Cast arm backs * Deep acid cutback etched Gas Shade * Almost identical to 883h * 32 1/2" Drop X 17 1/4" Width * Great Fixtures for over a Kitchen Island * Drop can be adjusted if desired. * Available : 1 Another name for a Gas Harp is a Hall Hoop. These Hoops make great hall fixtures as well as great fixtures for small spaces. Hall hoops were used over Wash Stands with pitchers and bowls before modern plumbing was installed. A gas pipe would be on the ceiling in the corner or against the wall in a bedroom and Hoops would be for over the wash stand. When people installed modern plumbing but were still lighting with gas there would be a hall hoop in the bathroom. This is a great light for small rooms as long as the ceiling is high. You usually need 24 inches of clearance to do a hall hoop. If you want the bottom to be about 6 foot nine from the floor then your ceiling needs to be 8 foot nine inches to do a Gas Harp.   « Less
