Very Large Leaded Glass Inverted Dome, Circa 1915




    This very large( 23.5 inches diameter) white slag glass Inverted Dome has 81 individual pieces of glass. Around 1915, tastes in these kind of fixtures were changing from multicolor leaded glass fixtures to one or two color fixtures. This change probably coincides with the introduction of the Arts and Crafts movement in the U.S., that argued for a simpler design.
    Aside from its' size, this is an unusual fixture because of the very pleasing shape of the bowl, which transmits a very elegant simplicity. The bowl design is almost geometric without being angular. There are three lights and you can see some opalescence in the glass when the lights are on. This fixture will provide plenty of light for your large room or foyer.

  1. I'm looking for a light fixture just like this one. Is it by chance still available? Or one like it?
