During the late 1800's, around the beginning
of the use of electric incandescent lighting,
the Gas and Electric Chandelier is also called
transitional combination and G & E form .
This chandelier style was derived by the use
of incandescent lighting added to the earlier
gas chandelier form. Typically for example
on a 6 arm gas and electric chandelier you
will see the 3 gas arms facing up and the
3 incandescent lighting arms facing down .
This is commonly called the combination form.
