I have for auction a very beautiful and well preserved antique hanging lamp. This came out of a large and grand house in Florida that was built in the mid to late 1800's; the house was styled more georgian than victorian. This is a beautiful hanging lamp, the brass is beautiful as is the shade. The brass ceiling fixture measures a hair less than 6 inches across and is about 4 1/2 inches deep, it has a touch of plaster on the top and is tarnished. The chains are 36 inches long . At the end of the chain is the fixture that the light is attached and the large glass dome is fitted. Please look at my pictures to see how the dome is attached, it loops into the groove in the glass and a set screw holds it in place; note that there is only one light fixture, it is simply a screw into the assembly fixture but certainly one couldn't use the old ones anyway. You will also notice looking at the pictures that the wire goes through the brass through a hole where the chain connects. On the globe itself you will notice a couple of very small nicks on the rim, this is caused by this S looking hook that the shade attaches to (I would suggest that where these two meet a small clear plastic tube (such as found in model airplane fuel line) be slid over the hook or the glass to help prevent in pressure of glass against metal). The nicks won't be seen from a hanging position very well, if at all, they are small and unobtrusive, and tucked in. The shade itself is beautiful, it is a frosted off white color, it does need cleaned. It has a nice Victorian design and there are two tiny spots that may need retouched but they are like pencil dot size and may just clean up (they are small enough not to do anything too - see pictures). This is a large shade measuring 47 1/2 inches in circumference, about 15 inches in diameter, and about 9 inches deep. There is no doubt that this would make a beautiful light for an entryway or a center light for the right room, either modern or antique. I am starting this wonderful lamp low with no reserve, thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid. ************** A word about shipping: I only charge exact shipping costs and almost always offer two options. I have no control over the Post Office's rates and I know they sometimes seem high. They are based on weight, size and shipping destination and are figured by the Ebay calculator. I am a very small business and can't afford to offer free shipping. I know of no other way to make postage more fair. I do not make money off of shipping and charge no handling charges. Please take that into consideration when bidding and when leaving feedback and detailed star ratings (DSR). Thank you. Return policy: Many of my items are used and therefore probably not perfect so I try very hard to mention any flaws or problems I see, but I am capable of missing something. It also sometimes happens that even new items could have a defect. If you are unhappy with an item for whatever reason, please email me asap and I will work with you on making things right. Again, I thank you International Buyers - Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price of shipping cost. These charges are the buyers responsibility. Please check with your country's custom office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. read more
