ANT-1045 Art Deco British Odeon Movie Theatre Chandelier with 3 Clam Shell Slip Shades
A very neat shell motif British theatre chandelier. This chandelier, and sconces that match it, are often called “Odeon Lights” since the main movie house chains, in Britain, has named all their theatres “Odeon”. In fact...”Odeon” is often a synonymous term for a movie theatre. i.e “Let’s go to the Odeon”.
This chandelier was used with frosted, amber, and even baby-blue tinted shades around the turn of the century. In older British theaters, you can still see them existing where they have been for over half a century or more. This version does have the Baby-Blue shades. We caution that not everyones monitor will display the correct color of the Baby-Blue. However..please note that it is a subdued babyblue...not a screaming version and, in fact, rather pastel and pale. But still....Baby-Blue.
The frame is brass with Nickel plating. It has aged and does have spots and some brass color coming thru it as well. Please note the pictures as this condition is commensurate with it’s age and maintenance.
We have re-wired this chandelier to UL American standards, in our UL listed shop, with a new American center socket cluster for three bulbs. One bulb lights each shade so 300 watts can be achieved with this chandelier if you use 100 watt bulbs.
The chandelier is ready to hang with an American standard light mounting kit which we will supply.
Measurements: 20” tall to the bottom of the finial with a width of 14 1/2”.
Price: $ 795.00 for the chandelier complete with the antique shades shown, plus shipping charges.
