Description

As the curators of the ONLY American Art Deco Lighting Museum, We have been fortunate to receive a donation of an office building full of art deco lights for our museum funding.Please see our web site for the museum at www.thedecomuseum.com. While Vintage Hardware & Lighting does make the reproduction of this light in brass, these are the originals cast with zinc and aluminum frames Circa1930s.Some restoration and re-wiring has been done to bring them all up to UL standards.All are supplied with either old or new mounting supplies.SHADES ARE REPLACEMENTS.

This series was named Fleurette, made by Lincoln Mnfg, of Detroit, Mich.about 1935.In the series, there were four light types.They were: a five light chandelier; a six light chandelier with a glass bottom (like this one); a two light hall fixture and sconces.We were lucky to get 3 out of the four types and are offering them until they are sold out.All proceeds will go to museum expansion and maintenance.

ANT-73A...restored aluminum 6 light antique chandelier by Lincoln.There is a extra socket for the bottom shade. Aluminum and zinc were the foundry metals of choice for Lincoln for all of their Art Deco lights of the period.The lovely embossed amber or frosted shades lift out of this fixture with ease.The overall height of the light is 27 inches but it could be reduced to 20 inches by removing links of stem chain and/or it could be lengthened to between the 27 inches, it is now, and about 50 inches by adding more chain since we left additional stem wire in case you wished to do this.It has a diameter of about 17inches.
