ANT-1218 Antique Beardslee (Williamson) 5-Light Art Deco Slip Shade Chandelier
Here is a 1930's chandelier designed and made by R.Williamson & Co., and marketed in the 1930's by Beardslee, who had purchased the Williamson company for their excellent designs.
This light has retained its original Deco polychrome color finish, which is in pretty fair condition. Very minor defects occur that are visible. Just a nice antique in antique condition. The center stem, INSIDE the bowl..and not normally visible...is a bit more chippy paint that all the rest of the light...but it is original. However, the visible lovely polychrome metal panels of this great light, are impressed with the Beardslee logo as can be seen in one of the pictures (it replaced the Williamson logo marketed earlier).
What a gorgeous fixture in pretty good condition! The shades are in fantastic condition, too.
Measurements: Height: 27" Diameter: 17" Canopy Diameter: 5 5⁄8"
The fixture has been totally rewired in our UL licensed shop. The sockets are new and are the identical type that Williamson used in the 1930's. The goal was to maintain the originality of the fixture as much as possible. And...it does...look great. Each socket is rated for 100 watts, so achieving 500 watts of light is very easy to do. We will also be supplying the bracket (crossbar) for this light so literally, you can hang this light and have it working minutes after receiving it.
Really a nice light.
Price: $1,250.00 plus shipping. A great value for an outstanding, hard to find; rewired, and signed Documented Antique Art Deco Chandelier.
