This is a large 1920s solid brass and prism glass ceiling light pendant fixture. It was purchased at an estate sale in a New York City brownstone on West 10th Street in the Village. The thick prism glass shade is banded with a solid brass rim. It has up-to-date wiring and is clean and ready for use. Only one is available.
MEASUREMENTS: 15" in diameter at the base by 16" tall, excluding the 10" heavy brass link chain and canopy.
There is no comparison in the quality of light from antique prismatic lead crystal glass with modern reproductions. The term "Holophane" is used generically to describe clear molded glass or crystal shades and globes with parallel or crosscut prisms. The term "Prismatic" is an alternative term for Holophane glass. Vintage Holophanes (circa 1890s-1950s) are outstanding examples of industrial art. The crisp clean lines create a beautiful glow when illuminated. Holophane glass was invented in the 1890s and was made in many shapes, sizes, and patterns to provide specific types of illumination.
This will be professionally packed and shipped within 24 hours. It is ready for installation. Weight 10 lbs 5 oz before packaging.
