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 has named all their theatres Odeon . In fact... Odeon is often a synonymous term for a movie theatre, i.e. " Let's go to the Odeon ." 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 in our UL listed shop, with a new American center socket cluster for three bulbs. One bulb lights each shade, so 300 watts can be achieved with this chandelier if 100 watt bulbs are used. There is minor rubbing on the frame (pictured) due to its age, which should not affect the impression of the fixture, but we thought to mention it. The chandelier is ready to hang with an American standard light mounting kit which we will supply. Measurements: •Height: 22" tall, measured from the top of the canopy to the bottom of the finial. •Width: 14 ½" Price: $874.50 for the chandelier, complete with the amber shades shown, plus $50.00 for Ground Shipping within the contiguous 48 states.

Fine Streamline Art Deco six shade chandelier...Circa 1935 - 37 made by Mid-West Mnf of North Kansas City, MO. They called this series: The Beverly. And this top-of-the-line chandelier was numbered 2305 for ordering. The six shade versions of any light were always top-of-the-line for all Art Deco slip shade series from every company. This nice chandelier is finished in a mixed nickel and what Mid-West called their Venetian Bronze finish. It was also available in a nice old gold finish with nickel highlights during the '30s. It was definitely a contrast that was part of the Streamline statement in lighting. This chandelier has been totally re-wired with new sockets and wires in our UL approved shop, and is ready to go. We will even supply a mounting kit so you can have it hung-up in no time. Nice original finish and shades. The finish is a mite thin in places...like an old Persian carpet, with the minor metal showing some of its 80 or so years...but the condition is considered good for the age of the fixture. Measurements: Height: 22", but can be increased by adding more chain. Diameter: 18 ½" $984.50 complete...plus $50.00 for careful packaging and Ground Shipping to customers within the contiguous 48 states.
