Description: I’m very excited to offer this incredible, restored c.1910’s era pan style chandelier featuring ribbed, embossed, Greek key glass shades! This fixture, from about 1910, is in fantastic vintage condition with a very richly mottled patina that brass can only acquire through decades of oxidation. I have not polished the metal as to preserve the interesting color, but it did get a thorough cleaning. There are some minor surface irregularities, but this can be expected from any fixtures from this era. A fixture like this is special, as it is representative of the kind of light that a modest working class family would have hung in their house, because even in an era of excess, not everyone lived in opulent, lavish mansions. Lights like these are often tossed in renovations and are not easy to come by in good condition anymore. This particular pan light, with the circling reeded detail, found on the pan itself as well as each of the shade holders is remarkable. The turn key sockets are original, while the wiring and mounting hardware are all new, the wire being cloth covered like the original would have been. The pressed glass shades, which feature delicate, stylized pinwheel Greek keys and subtle floral motifs, are absolutely lovely. They light very well and suit the fixture quite nicely. They are free of notable chips and flaws save a handful of unremarkable flea bites to their bottom rims, which appear to me to be a product of the manufacturing process at the time they were made. The scale of this light makes it ideal for a smaller sized room, at about 13.5 - inches across, measured from shade-to-shade, and about 32 - inches long. I can adjust the length down a bit by removing some of the original chain, but I cannot make it longer. I picture it in a powder room, a bedroom, over a stairhall landing/common space, or even in a larger closet. Pan lights were wildly popular in the early 20th century, and are very versatile light fixtures that work in just about any space. The sale includes all the necessary mounting hardware, light bulbs are not included. Shipped via UPS Ground. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have before making a purchase.
