One of a Rare Pair of Pewter Finish (Actually Brushed Nickel) Five Arm Chandeliers #C4602B: ~1904. The crystal shades are signed Holophane June 28 '04 pagodas. Rewired for 5 x 60 watts. Each lamp is 29.5"L x 22"W. A rare pair! (A3831A, A3831B)


       

Dark Brass Four Arm Chandelier #C022305A: Believe to be made by Bradley & Hubbard (B & H) in Meridan, CT. c.1920. The canopy would have matched the design of the body and have been signed with a brass tag welded to the interior. The original shades coordinate nicely with the design of the fixture. The total length of this lamp is 28" and the diameter is 19". Each shade is 5.5"L x 5"W. Rewired for 4 x 75 watts. (A4053)


       
       

Five Arm Dark Brass Chandelier with Original Four Petal, Brass Bound, Golden Stained Glass Shades #C022505A: The total length of this lamp is 31.5" with a width of 23". Each shade measures 4.25"L x 5.25"W. It has been rewired for 5 x 75 watts. This is a fine example of 1920's solid brass, built to last, heavy duty and stylish lighting fixture. (A4054)


       

Five Arm, Nickel Plate Over Solid Brass Chandelier with Original Holophane E-5 Crystal Shades # C102501B: c.1925. This lamp is 30" in length and it has a diameter of about 20". Each crystal shade has a diameter of 6.5". Rewired and OK @ 5 x 100 watts.


   
       

Two Plus Two Fleur-de-lis Chandelier #C4502A: Patina finish. The rare, original Holophane, crystal shades are dated July 12,'96. They do have a few normal "bites" but no cracks or anything critical. The "up" arms can use 100 watt bulbs. Even though the "down" arms are wired the same way I recomend 60 watts each due to heat build up in the enclosed shade. All solid brass and in excellent condition. 32"L x 24"W.


     
       
 

Ornate Solid Brass Four Arm Plus Single Drop Chandelier #C32203A: This rare c.1910 chandelier measures 37" in length with a total diameter of about 25.5". The prismatic crystal shades are signed Holophane I-3's. This lamp is a gorgeous show piece with all its unusual detail, brilliant shades and good size.


       
     
   

Five Arm Nickel Chandelier with Holophane E-3 Prismatic Crystal Shades #C102101D: c.1925. This nickel silver over solid brass lamp is 30" long and 20" wide. Each of the original shades is 4"L x 5"W.


     

Rare Early 20th Century Five Arm Chandelier #C3603A: Well, the first photo makes me chuckle as it looks like "Let's find a chandelier!" This Nickel plate over solid brass chandelier with its brilliant crystal shades sparkles like magic! It is almost impossible to see the fine details in the photos. The ribbed crystal shades are quite rare. They are a very special size. This lamp measures 26" in length.


   

Solid Brass Four Drop Chandelier with Holophane Lead Crystal Shades #C10399A: c.1915. This chandelier has a total length of about 27" with a diameter of 22.5". Each of the original Holophane E40s have a bottom diameter of 6.5". Rewired. OK @ 4 x 60 watts.


       
     

Very Special Five Arm Chandelier with Original Gillander Frosted and Cut Crystal Shades #C22302C: c.1912. This beauty is 30" in length and 20" in width. It is re-finished, re-furbished and re-nickel plated. Excellent condition. (A3819)


       

Golden Grey Patina Ceiling Mount Four Drop Chandelier #CM111401A: The length of this very unusual ceiling mount is 29.5". The diameter is about 19". Each of the four shades has a 5" bottom diameter. The solid brass fixture has a wonderful warm grey patina. The frosted crystal shades are pure white in color. The first shade photo shows better detail but it is dark. The second shade photo is more true in color.


   
     
 

Brass and Bronze Four Arm Chandelier with Original Petticoat Shades #C11802B: c.1910. This bronze patina over brass and bronze chandelier is 21" wide and 39" long. The bronze chain can be shortened by as much as 18". The beautiful, original shades are a fine, delicate pinwheel and floral design. Original "P & S" sockets and all new wire. Rated for 250 watts each but I recomend 60 watts each for the optimum shade beauty and minimal heat.
