Abandoned Over A Century Ago.

Households and businesses in the late 1800’s were primarily illuminated by the visual warmth and radiance of lamps of oil and gas - a tradition soon extinguished by the advent of the electric bulb.

Fresh off my workbench, this reimagined chandelier is entirely comprised of repurposed, ornate brass elements retrieved from a 1892 table-style oil lamp, an equally opulent hanging variation of similar vintage with a translucent, milk glass dome and trimmed with 30 lengths of hand-strung crystals - an authentic tribute to that long lost era of craftsmanship, elegance and purpose.

This fixture is a ceiling mount and hangs at a length of 36 inches from canopy to its furthest crystal with a width of 20 inches. It is lit by a single, larger, circular frosted 60 watt incandescent bulb housed in a dimmable socket to control it’s intensity but will accommodate any type of bulb of similar wattage.

Each component of this chandelier has been meticulously refurbished, polished to a gloss then reassembled to become, like all the fixtures I design/build, a unique and original one-of-a-kind. Priced at $3000.
