Offered for your approval, is this 1939 Mole Richardson Model 410, Thin Slat, 2000 watt Fresnel studio light fixture, for decorative residential or commerical display.
We have researched the correct factory finish for this 1939 light and have completed it in the factory correct 'instrument black' paint finish and bead blasted the fixture yoke to expose the original Shelby Steel Tube yoke and the original bronze fittings.
A correct vintage original on-off switch and original thick factory cable has finally arrived after a one year search and has been properly refinished and installed.
This studio fixture was owned and used by Paramount Film Studios until sold to us in 1988. It has sat in our warehouse waiting to be restored in a gentle and correct manner.
Consider the many famous Hollywood films shot with this light fixture from 1939 to the 1970s. The original factory electrical internals are cleaned and de-wired and we have added a wired and socketed 2700 degree LED lamp for display purposes.
A discrete wireless remote On/Off control is added for illumination activation, so that no visible, incorrect or modern switches are added to the fixture.
A BONUS vintage era correct style Mole Richardson stand, finished in correct black gloss paint with original correct adjustment knobs, has just come out of our paint shop. This stand will be included at no extra charge.
The correct adjustable light stand allows various heights.
A very rare, correct and extraordinarily pretty example of an historic 1939 Hollywood Studio Lighting Artifact.
As with all of our pieces, a signed and sealed "Certificate of Authenticity" is included with your purchase.
NOTE: Our selling prices are usually pre discounted
and intended to be at ‘Designer Net’
and ‘To The Trade’ price levels.
However, we ALWAYS welcome discussions and exploration
of your budgetary requirements
and how we MAY be able to help meet those cost targets
with additional discounts or courtesies.
~Like artifacts of an ancient civilization -
these rare legends
of early Motion Picture and related
production equipment technology -
have a secure and appreciating
place in history.~
