Vintage Antique 1910 Mission Arts & Crafts Art Nouveau Chandelier

Description: I’m very excited to offer this incredible, restored Mission Style/Arts & Crafts style Art Nouveau chandelier. This fixture, dating to approximately 1910, is in fantastic vintage condition with a nice, subtly bright patina that brass can only acquire through decades of oxidation. I have not polished the piece as to preserve the time-acquired color, but it did get a thorough cleaning. There are some minor surface irregularities and blemishes, but this can be expected from any fixture of this era. The richly, ornately cast Louis Sullivan-esque styled art nouveau arms and finial, elongated form, and distinctive heavy gauge chain all set this fixture apart from more commonly seen lighting of this style and era. Truthfully I’ve never seen anything quite like this before, and it has quite a striking presence. A fixture like this is special, as it is representative of a style trend in lighting that was popular for only a very brief window, very simplistic in form - an about face from the much more ornate lighting fixtures of decades previous. Lights like these were often tossed in early home renovations and are not easy to come by in good condition anymore. The sockets, wiring, bottom turn switch, and mounting hardware are all new, with the rest of the fixture being remarkably original. The scale of this light makes it ideal for a medium sized room, measuring at about 15 inches wide measured from arm to arm, and about 37 inches long. I am unable to make length adjustments to this fixture without compromising the integrity and finish of the original chain. It should be noted that the canopy should amply cover most modern junction boxes - an important consideration when thinking of installing vintage lighting. I picture this in a sitting room, foyer, a hallway, over a stairhall landing/common space, or perhaps in a larger bedroom. This is quite a versatile light fixture that would work in just about any space. The sale includes all the necessary mounting hardware, light bulbs are not included. Shipped UPS Ground. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have before making a purchase. Feedback on eBay is important! I go to great lengths to ensure that each of my customers has a positive experience purchasing one of my lights, and I love seeing and hearing from them after they’ve installed their new-to-them pieces. I love to see my lights in their new forever homes - feel free to send “after” photos!
