Rare and Unusual Designed Two Plus Two Gas and Electric Chandelier #C4602A: Circa 1890. This fine brass chandelier has been fully restored. The gas arms have been opened up and wired. They are OK at 100 watts each. The original electric arms are OK at 60 watts each. The difference is due to the heat from the bulbs and shade position. Original "crosshatch" pattern prismatic lead crystal shades. The ceiling canopy does show some normal age wear. You can see this in the last photo. 31"L x 23"W. (A3830)
Very RARE Antique Gas Chandelier: c.1885. This rare old fixture has been thoroughly refurbished and refinished including re-nickel plating. It has been carefully wired with 125 watts per arm capability. The period crystal shades add a wonderful gas light old time feeling.
The photos do not do this lamp justice. The nickel finish forces the camera to do odd things. To show the fine detail I had to take very dark photos and then lighten them up. I assure you that this lamp is bright silver in finish and not the red, gold or pewter that the photos show.
This lamp measures 36" in length with a diameter of 28". Excellent beautiful condition. (A3817)
Very Rare, Extremely Detailed Four Arm Gas Chandelier #C101601A: c.1880 with original Fleur-de-lis shades. This solid brass lamp measures 38" from the ceiling and it is about 39" in diameter. Each of the four shades have a top diameter of 7.5". The color is actually a rich golden brown natural patina. Flash was used in some of the photos to bring out the fine detail. Wired for electricity and ready for that show place in your home.
Two Drop Gas Conversion Chandelier #C1902B: This solid brass chandelier is 29" in length with a width of 26.5". Gentle patina. Special crystal "zipper" shades. Wired for electricity. (A3806)
