Found this online. Kinda sad, right? Kinda…boring, too. Kinda bent. And missing its shades. But…
…ZOUNDS! I recognized the fixture as being from Gill Glass, and from their Melrose line. I also had 5 Melrose shades in storage!
The distinctive original blue had been repainted black. Oh, the horror. The chrome polished up well.

Now this I love!! Really beautiful. Great job!
What a beauty!
OMG! You do beautiful work.
Beautiful, I like the blue.
Ross, you are performing a tour de force in restoring an 1894 house, but much of your heart is given to “moderne” lighting. I admire it too, particularly the choice examples you curate, restore, and offer to connoisseurs.

Out of the family now, but still standing proud.
Your grandfather’s design looks very solid, John. He even had the family name placed as a feature. A landmark in West Virginia?
Lovely lighting, Ross.
