Title: hanging fixture : new find
Post by: greenacres on November 16, 2015, 12:21:57 PM

Hi everyone, This was found in one of the old properties that's being worked on. My husband brought it home. Does anyone know the time period? it looks pre deco. It really needs some TLC. Another project on the burner. I'll have to wipe around some for some writing. Here are some photos.

Might be easier to tell if we could see it hanging and in better light !!  Kind of dark and pic does not show what it actually looks like !!

I always I am the worst photographer. No cooperation from the other half. He's business as I tell him hold it. Really doesn't work! Let me clean it better. I think i see a name. Painted glass.

Beautiful. Looks like a reverse painted shade, ca. 1915-25. Time for adaptive reuse!

That is amazing Rauville. Can't believe you found it! Your the best! ;) Now to figure how to fix this lamp up! I might just take it to a reliable place that does wiring.

I have to ask the other half what he did with it. If he doesn't do you think I can match it?

Possibly could be matched by anyone that deals in old light fixtures !!  Might check ebay for it or find a top finial that would match pretty well !!
