Beardslee of Chicago 5 Slip Shade Fixture, circa 1934, 2 Available

About the Item

2 Matching available from one of the great American design firms during the' 20s & '30s. "Beardslee" of Chicago was known to produce quality lighting fixtures of outstanding design, proportions, and style. Here is a wonderful and all original refinished example of their handiwork: artful and crisp designs echo from the ceiling canopy to the glass slip shades. Although difficult to comprehend, every curve, angle, line, and embellishment was derived from a strict set of design rules, some originating from the ancient Romans and Greeks. Designers of this period went to Europe to study design for years to be able to create such a masterpiece. Even the glass shades continue the design elements for the fixture body. All 5 slip shades in excellent condition.75 watt max each socket. Drop as shown: 27 inches. Can be adjusted longer. Width: 17 1/4 inches And just as spectacular, matching Beardslee wall sconces are available.
