Wrought Brass Gas Pendant w/Opalescent Cylinder Glass, c1898

Description

A beautiful and exceptionally hard-to-find light, this lovely late-Victorian lantern pendant is fabricated in wrought brass strapping and features a gorgeous – and period appropriate – twist opalescent cylinder shade. It was originally a gas fixture but has been converted for electricity. Most likely originally hung in an entryway, this interesting and visually captivating light could also look great in the right porch setting, on a Victorian or turn-of-the-century Transitional home.
