Sold item Large Rare Vintage Beardslee Chandelier w/ Matching Sconces

This includes the ceiling chandelier AND a pair of matching sconces. Vintage American Art Deco at its finest! . Besides its design and beauty, what makes this particular fixture so rare is the shade. It is so very fragile that few have survived in this condition with no cracks and just a couple of nicks out of the rim which are not noticed when installed. It looks like there are 5 shades ringing the fixture, as with most all other fixtures of this type, when in fact the entire shade is a single piece of thin and delicate glass. These fixtures retains their original painted finish which is in exceptional condition with almost no paint loss or fading. All glass in excellent condition with no noticeable chips and no cracks. Beardslee is one of the premier designers and manufacturers of high end Art Deco lighting fixtures of the 1920s and '30s and this is one of their best. Signed in several places on the fixture, ceiling canopy, and sconces. The chandelier was designed to hold a smaller shade in the center to protect your eyes from the bare bulb. Height as shown: 41 1/2 inches which can be adjusted Width: 15 1/2 inches Sconce height: 12 1/2 inches Sconce width: 6 5/8 inches
