Up for auction/sale is an exceptional, completely untouched piece of early 20th-century design history. This authentic Art Nouveau 3-arm chandelier features incredibly detailed, fluid botanical brass/bronze scrollwork casting a beautiful natural aged patina.
Unlike most fixtures from this era that have been heavily modified, repaired, or stripped, this specimen is 100% original and in near-mint cosmetic condition.
Key Features & Provenance:
- Genuine Period Glass: Features a matching trio of original, amazing green opaline glass shades. The glass exhibits the signature milky, translucent celadon iridescence typical of fine late 19th/early 20th-century glassmaking.
Condition: The shades are completely free of cracks, minor flea bites with the typical "fitter rim chipping" caused by tightened set screws over the decades.
- Untouched Preservation: The brass framework maintains its rich, original factory-applied patina. It has never been polished or treated with harsh modern chemicals.
- Original Factory Wiring: Retains its historic cloth/paper-insulated wiring. A phenomenal find for purist collectors prioritizing absolute historical accuracy and provenance. The top mount which is in the pics was added for extension but was never used, not original.
Specifications:
- Fixture Material: Solid Cast Brass/Bronze
- Shade Material: Hand-Blown Green Opaline Glass
- Configuration: 3-Arm / 3-Light Drop Chandelier
