An incredibly stunning, ultra rare early Art Deco 5 light transitional (shows both art deco and art nouveau styles) slip shade chandelier from the 1920's. Of exceptionally impressive visual impact, this chandelier has an antique polychrome finish on a white metal frame with classic floral design, the 5. Uranium glass green colored, (non reactive), acid etched and frosted glass shades have geometric floral intaglio designs. Although quite strongly frosted, the shades are completely translucent (semi-clear like stained glass). It should be noted that as the shades have open (upwards) design, most of the light escapes upward to reflect off the ceiling and walls thus filling the room with natural warm white light, much less green light escapes these fixtures.This chandelier has been rewired (for safety reasons), fitted with new UL certified candelabra base screw (E12) sockets for round or candle bulbs and is thus totally compliant with modern electrical regulations, ready to use, (bulbs not included), other than the fitment of these new sockets this fixture is totally original. Available as a long pendant (long chain) for high ceilings, short pendant (one link only) for average ceilings. This chandelier has been professionally restored (faithful to the original) and rewired, fitted with new phenolic E12 base screw sockets for E12 candelabra base screw bulbs, thus making it totally compliant with US electrical systems and is ready to use, (bulbs not included). Other than the fitment of these new sockets and wiring.
And the retouching of the finish. This fixture is totally original. We recommend 25w or 40w candle or round bulbs but you can also use CFL or the new LED bulbs. Considering it's age and the primitive manufacturing processes of the day it is in remarkably good condition, the white metal frame has no cracks, the finish is clean and bright and the glass shades may have a few tiny nibbles mostly around the fitter edge, unseen when installed. We need to keep in mind these fixtures are over 80 years old, they are not'brand new perfect' any faults are indicated in this condition report.
Total height (with chain) 84cm (33") Without chain 56cm (22") Spread (diameter around outside tip of shades) 51cm (20") Shade length 22cm (8½") Width 13cm (5¼).
