ANT-1372 Streamline Art Deco Slip Shade Chandelier Attributed to Halcolite
Halcolite was one of a select slip shade light makers who made some high-end quality products. They used Consolidated glass products and designs, quite a bit to give their glassware a lovely accent.
Halcolite was in Brooklyn, New York at 68 34th Street from their catalog “T” for the year 1937-38.
This is a more simple 6-shade streamline chandelier, which was top-of-the-line for this style. Instead of the main bowl being cast like so many others, it is formed from sheet metal by deep drawing and then working by hand. It does give it a more engine-feel that is so common for the streamline movement.
The shades are light amber (that Halcolite called “golden-toned”) and in good...remarkable...condition. They are such an interesting shape so iconic of streamline deco. The fascia even has engraved little star decor. The bottom cut shade does not quite match the slip shade color, but that is normal for a 6-shade chandelier.
This chandelier has been completely re-wired, in our UL shop, with new sockets. Sockets can easily handle 100-watt incandescent bulbs.
Measurements: Overall 19 1/2” but...could be lengthened if required. Maximum diameter is 17”.
All mounting hardware will be supplied.
Price: $1,250.00 for the complete UL re-wired Halcolite top-of-the-line streamline chandelier with original, golden-toned, slip shades...plus shipping.
