1920s French Wrought Iron 4 Light Fixture with Yellow Slag Glass
$4,900.00
Offered is a Vintage 1920s French wrought iron chandelier with a light yellow slag glass shade and bottom diffuser.
A gorgeous fixture, it requires a fairly high ceiling, as it drops about 41-1/2" from the ceiling. This is the minimum length, but could be dropped lower by employing some chain and another canopy at the ceiling.
Rather unusual with the slag glass, but absolutely French. It has grapes and grape leaves all around the hand-wrought bottom section, and hand-wrought arms leading to the canopy. It came to us with 2 of the 4 original sockets damaged, so they were all replaced with high quality brass, standard size sockets during the rewiring. The canopy does not appear to be original, but it is dark, heavy brass and embossed with leaves. Shows some minor surface rust in a few spots, but we opted to leave it as is.
The somewhat fragile tag from the original French shipper, which was attached with string when we acquired, it will be included.
One could use up-to 100W incandescent light bulbs if desired, but we always recommend LEDs as they are not seen while in use.
Measurements:
Drop: 41-1/2"
Width: About 21"
Main body where lights are, about 8"H
May be shipped partially disassembled for safety, and we suggest having it installed by a professional.
