Beautiful vintage heavy solid glass lamp finial / chandelier decorative finial, featuring a substantial multi-faceted jewel-like body designed to catch and reflect light. Measuring approximately 4.5 inches tall and 3 inches wide, this is an unusually large and impressive vintage lighting component. The thick solid glass has numerous hand-finished-looking geometric facets creating a diamond-cut crystal-style appearance. This piece was originally a decorative chandelier/lamp component and has subsequently been fitted with the brass-colored metal top visible in the photographs; the metal fitting is believed to be a later addition rather than part of the original glass finial. An attractive architectural salvage piece for collectors of vintage lighting, chandelier parts, lamp hardware, restoration components, faceted glass and decorative interior accessories. Comparable modern lighting hardware is marketed specifically as faceted crystal lamp finials with metal bases.
