Antique Viking Longboat Ship Cast Iron Chandelier with Horse Head and Shields

About the Item

Handsome and unusual cast iron eight light chandelier in the shape of a Viking longboat or ship with a horse head, horse tail, warrior shields, chain and anchor details. It is in wonderful antique condition. The cast iron has a natural patina that is simply splendid. The gilded shields too have their own great age patina consisting of missing gilding and dings. The candles are original but in great condition and can be replace if you wish. The fixture has been rewired and is ready to hang. Please see photos, circa 1930s-1950s. We have gone berserk over this Viking chandelier and so will you!!! The ultimate in interesting. This fabulous cast iron light fixture comes in the form of a Viking ship or longboat. The bow of the ship is adorned with a Scandinavian stylized horse head and the stern with a very stylized tail. There are four U-shaped ribs, like the ribs of a ship, which hold a candle and bobeche on each end for a total of eight lights. A round Viking shield adorns the side of each U. The totality hangs from the ceiling by a chain attach fore and aft plus in the middle to a brass ceiling canopy from which is also hanging a cast iron anchor. I can’t begin to tell you how completely and utterly incredible this piece is! Some will think this fixture can only be used in a Gothic or traditional setting, but I can so imagine this light hanging above a gorgeous Danish modern dining table in your Mid-Century Modern home. Or in a modern loft or rustic mountain cabin. Don’t hesitate. You need to make it yours!

Art Deco Revival Monumental Brass Etched Glass Hanging Light Fixture Chandelier

Located in Topeka, KS

Magnificent vintage Art Deco Revival monumental hanging light fixture or chandelier comprised of six glass “wing” panels with etched details, brass ferrule, shaft, brackets, and a new brass canopy. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, there is a small chip on the top edge of one glass “wing” panel that you cannot see from below. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century. “Until you spread your wings, you’ll have no idea how far you can fly.” -Napoleon Bonaparte. This is a marvelous Art Deco Revival monumental hanging light fixture comprised of a unique brass shaft consisting of a cylindrical top and base with three square brass rods between. Each cylindrical end of the shaft has an inner socket that holds a slender tube style bulb which is encased by the square brass rods. Each outer end of the shaft has a round component with six brass brackets surrounding the outer cylinder which hold the “wing” shaped glass panels featuring lovely etched designs. Could be angel wings, butterfly wings, or even fairy wings… that’s up to your imagination!! Either way… It is INCREDIBLE!!! A beautiful brass rod extends up from the “trumpet” shaped ferrule and is attached to the chain, held by a fabulous brass canopy. It is PHENOMENAL to say the least!!! And it’s hardwired so you can use dimming or flickering lightbulbs and add some wonderful ambiance to whatever room you choose to install. And did we mention… it’s HUGE!! It would make a BOLD statement in a high entry way, stairwell, above an over-scaled island in your kitchen, or over a long dining table in a formal dining area. It would also be beautiful in a bedroom or living room. What are you waiting for? Don’t hesitate, time to spread those wings… you can do it...
