Description: Gorgeous Antique Pendant Lamp Excellent restored antique condition! Working well, recently wired and ready for you. This is an original gas fixture by Welsbach, now converted to electric with a new porcelain socket added. An early 1900's piece with patent dates of 1903-1911. It is also marked "Welsbach Size No. 3 Reflex" and "Welsbach Co Licensed Mfrs". The fixture is all brass and has an antique gold painted finish with tiny areas of wear to the finish and one tiny ding (see closeups). The antique glass shade has no chips or cracks and is stamped "Reflex" and has some patent information on it as well. The glass has its original vents / holes for the heat to escape from the gas fixture - so unique! Use one standard-base light bulb up to 60 watts (or use an LED bulb for any brightness you like). The light bulb shown is included, however it's not a brand new bulb so we can't say how much life is left in it. ;) It will get you started! This beautiful antique is from a large antique lighting collection in Fenton, Michigan - see and watch our store for more from this fantastic collection. Here are details about the restorer: The late Bob Daly was a marathon runner and worked in his family's burglar alarm business until he started his own antique lighting restoration business in Fenton, Michigan in the 1980's: "Historic Lighting Restoration Services and Sales". He was restoring antique lighting for almost 40 years. This beautiful light was thoughtfully and skillfully restored by Bob to the tiniest detail. From new wiring to cleaning to touching up, buffing and polishing, Bob was a master at the details. He loved what he did and was excited to share these restored works of art with the next generation (see a newspaper article picture of him in photo #24). He worked with loving care, and you can be proud to own one of his restorative works of art. We are certainly proud to have acquired his amazing collection, as we also restore and sell antique lighting and love to share it with all of you who want true antique pieces that have historic personality in your homes and buildings. Many thanks to Bob's wife, Luce, for contacting us and allowing us to share his collection with the world! :) Measurements:Total height including the glass shade and the ceiling mount: 22 1/2"Diameter / width across at the arm and including the shade holder: 9 1/2"Shade size: approximately 4 1/4" tall and 2 1/2" wide with a 2 5/8" fitter edgeCeiling canopy: 3 3/4" diameter You're going to LOVE it!**We have many more antique and vintage lamps and shades - see our eBay store**~ Please see all photos for detailed description ~ * We ship the NEXT DAY after you pay * Shipping includes tracking & insurance *We ship either UPS, FedEx or USPS ~ whichever is more economical to your zip code Willing to ship international using the eBay international shipping program Ask Any Questions!
