ANT-986 Art Deco Slip Shade 6 Shade Chandelier by Mid-West
This was top of the line in the Mid-West Mnf “Newport” series... Circa 1935. Mid-West was located in Kansas City and had a reputation for making quality lighting. As proof, it did survive the Great Depression to be sold off to Thomas Industries only a couple of years ago.
The metal of the series has a nice original antique old-gold and cream/yellowish finish in excellent condition. This was a standard finish for streamline offerings of many lighting companies during the depression.
Mid-West did offer various finishes and this was popular in the Deco era....and...it IS the original finish. Naturally, it is showing it’s age a bit but just like normal antiques.
All amber shades are in very nice condition with just a tiny bit of roughness that reflects their age. As per normal, the bottom shade has just a slightly different hue that the slip shades. Each socket is capable of receiving a 100 watt bulb.
Streamline in design-this set captures the essence of the movement. The six shade chandelier (one bottom shade-5 slip shades) was the top of the line for the Newport Series.
