Story
During the first two decades of the 20th century, electricity was the ultimate domestic miracle, and this fixture was designed to showcase that magic without the 'vulgar' glare of a bare bulb.
Maker / Origin
While no signature is visible, the quality of the casting and the specific 'satin' finish on the glass are hallmarks of premier American firms like the Beardslee Chandelier Manufacturing Co. or R.
Condition & Value
The fixture appears to be in remarkable condition with no visible cracks or chips to the glass shades. Value is driven primarily by the presence of the original, matching set of five shades.
