Available: 1 Here is a very unusual light that was once owned by an unusual individual. Usually during the period when these fixtures were bought the tendency was for the buyer to buy shades that exactly matched. The shades were often sold separately from the fixtures in 1905 or at least there would be different options for shades in the showroom. This fixture was outfitted with 3 sets of 4 Verre de Soie Steuben iridescent shades that are very similar in design but are 3 different sets of 4. I'm assuming that the purchaser had a difficult time choosing so decided on all three.There is a precedent for this in the Gas Fixture period where fixtures were outfitted with bowls that have different scenes on them. This idea creates a very rich detail statement. The shades work very well together and are all made in the same process the difference being slightly different shapes and slightly different etched design. This is a really beautiful bronze chandelier with 12 lights. It has been rewired with Teflon wire and porcelain sockets so it will do a great job lighten your room.
