Antique Lighting from The Drawing Room

# 5075. An American Bronze Gas Hall Lantern. Marks for Hollings of Boston. 39" tall. This rod hung chandelier is all bronze which is not common: most gas fixtures of this era made in the United States were mostly white metal. Condition: fitted for electricity; comes with an art glass deep acid etched shade (with edge flaws) and a replaced metal stamped shade crown. This fixture is hung from three rope designed brass rods and there has taken place a slight twist from the top to the base that is apparent but not really annoying. The fixtures hangs well and straight. The upper ceiling pan is excellent quality casting and appears to be contemporary with the other design elements, though it may be from a different fixture. Price: $3,000.00.

The bronze decor is Aesthetic in design.

A view from the bottom up.

There is a hole is the side just past one of the arms that may have been used for a gas flexible pipe to lead to a gas table lamp.
