I’m very excited to offer this incredible, restored c.1910’s era pan style chandelier featuring frosted, starburst wheel cut glass shades!

This fixture, from about 1910, is in fantastic vintage condition with a soft mottled brown 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 a higher order of pan lights than what most modest working class family would have hung in their house. Higher quality lights were more expensive than average, and harder still to come by today. Lights like these are often tossed in renovations and are not easy to come by in good condition anymore. This particular pan light, featuring a LARGE central glass bowl with dazzling starbursts, 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 cut glass shades, which feature delicate, starbursts and rays, 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 fitters and their roughly ground 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 medium sized room, at about 22 - inches across, measured diagonally shade-to-shade, and about 32 - inches long. I can adjust the length down a bit by removing some chain, but I cannot make it longer. I picture it in a living 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.
