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