Very Rare Detailed Cast Bronze with Original Shades Chandelier #MC72704B: c.1925-30. High quality. Cast Bronze. Original shades! The total length of this lamp is 35" and the diameter is 15". It has been cleaned and rewired. You may use up to 100 watts in each socket. This lamp and its "mate" (#MC72704A) above came from an old theater.
Magnificent Old Gas Nine Arm Chandelier with Holophane "1896" Crystal Shades #MC2200A: c.1897. This intricate, solid brass chandelier was very difficult to photo. The first thing that you should understand is the nine arms are in three groups of three. The Holophane "1896" shades are all the same type but the center shade in each cluster group is larger than the outside two because it was the gas arm. This is a great detail and I tried to show it in the photos. This lamp measures 23.5" wide and 36" long. Rewired for 9 x 60 watts.
Very Rare and Detailed Four Arm Chandelier #MC72003A: Special detail. The hammered texture center, compact multi swirl arms and bright surface makes it difficult for the camera to see the true beauty. The first two photos are a poor representation of this fine lamp. Nickel plate over solid brass. Rare original shades. The total length is 29". The diameter is about 20". Rewired and OK at up to 4 x 100 watts.
Rare c.1905 Neptune Chandelier #C92401A: This wonderful Neptune with seashell detail chandelier is made of brass and bronze. The original art glass shades have a striking depth and radiance as you can see in the photos. I recomend 60 watt bulbs for maximum shade beauty. The length is 28.5" with an approximate width of 20".
