Circa 1855, Starr Fellows 3-Light Rod Hung Gas Chandelier

Starr Fellows 3-Light Rod Hung Gas Chandelier

Fresh out of a Greek Revival in Indiana, this Rococo Revival Starr Fellows and Company Rod Hung Gas Chandelier is a wonderful example of early gas fixtures that hung in the first houses using gas lighting in this country. We have not had one of these chandeliers since we sold a pair of 4 lights back in 2008. The wonderful interwoven figural snakes on the end of each rod and the figural maiden, add much to the period charm of this fixture. They come along every once in a while. This one is complimented with a great set of Greek Key Gas shades. This Chandelier was manufactured in 1855 when companies first started creating product lines using interchangeable parts. This is an early one.

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.

3-Light Gas Chandelier with Contour Body,Circa 1895

This 3 arm Gas Chandelier is unusual in its simplicity with it's hourglass body. The design of the arms and arm backs coincide with the curve of the body and is very nicely done. The beading on the spinnings that frame the hourglass are a nice addition that keeps the body of the fixture from being too simple. The diamond effect pressed glass shades could pick up other geometric glass details in the destination room. An example would be a foyer or a room with windows that correspond.  More info click here : http://bit.ly/H5fYS6

Slag Glass Inverted Dome, Circa 1915

Leaded Slag Glass Inverted Domes were made by slumping or bending parts of sheets of Slag Glass and shaping them into very interesting designs of different colors and texture. The bending was done by heating the glass in a kiln until it " slumped " to form the shape of the various molds that were used. After the desired shape was created the piece of glass was surrounded by copper or lead foil which then allowed the pieces to be " leaded " together with a soldering iron to form the Inverted Dome.

These Antique Inverted Domes are very often associated with the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau period. Their spare but interesting designs work well with the parallel lines in Arts & Crafts furniture. Then some of these Antique Lights had a more organic feel to them.
