This 3-Light Crystal Gas chandelier is consistent with
lighting from the Mount Washington Glass Works of New Bedford, MA
as shown in
Gas Lighting in America, Plate 72.
This Chandelier is very similar to two larger ones, 2258g
and 2259g that is on our
Website, and we previously sold.
This fixture had been electrified in the 1920's and we have updated the wiring.
There are many tiers of cut glass crystal pendants that we call
spear prisms. This 3-Light fixture has 66 of these spear prisms.
Three cut glass crystal chains drape from one of the top tiers
to the bobeches on the arms. This Chandelier is completely of
hand blown glass with copper wheel cut design and frosted glass,
cut to clear, which creates a very rich quality.
This fixture would make a wonderful Dining room, Parlor or Foyer fixture
for someone interested in decorating using period fixtures.
