Before. After.
My online vintage lighting store.
I found this online. I only purchased it because I had one a few years ago and knew what a great beauty the fixture was…if presented properly.
And so presented. Astonishing, right?
The shade is, frankly, dazzling. It’s thick glass, beautifully molded like a diamond. The intricate designs were cut into the glass by a grinding wheel. And hand-done! No computer laser. Wow.
The scale is impressive. Most foyer fixtures are on the petite side. Not so here. The overall length is 39-inches. I can remove 7-1/2-inches of chain. The shade itself is 13-long x 8-wide and with a 5-inch fitter. This is easily twice the size of most foyer fixture shades I have listed.

Do you know what year it’s from, Ross?
It is gawjus!
1920s!
WOW!
And I *love* wheel cut glass and that is the best I have ever seen. I had no idea looking at the before how impressive this would be.
As a pair they would be absolutely stunning.
My parents have a tall stairwell to the second story that two would fill beautifully. *IF* I ever had a chance to live there.
Unfortunately, while I do have tall ceilings in the foyer and hallway the ceilings are normal height so I can’t take advantage of any of these stunners.
Beautiful!
The shade cleaned up beautifully. Love it!
