About the Item

This is one of more important and interesting early train car lamps we have found. Few of these luxury class Victorian RR lamps still exist. Any remaining examples have found their way into museums some time ago. This was the type and quality of centre lighting used in private luxury Pullman cars from that era. They were also part of the elaborate personal train cars built for The Rockefeller's and Vanderbilt's. Here is a beautiful restored chandelier with 4 mercury (Union Ray) glass shades. The lamp also ends with a crystal ball finial. This lamp is unsigned but is most likely mid to late 1800s. This is a nice piece of railroad history and one we have not seen before.
