About the Item

If you like geese, or fish, or opalescence, or bronze or brass or French design or Art Deco or Art Nouveau, you've found the right item. The Verlys bowl (signed in the middle) has gorgeous opalescence, as do the three delicate and most unusually shaped opalescent shades. One of the small shades has a crack in it (see image #7), on the back; as for the two others, each has a small and inconsequential chip. Tant pis ("tough darts"), as our French friends say. They couldn't care less about a little crack or a chip, such physical infirmities hardly compromise the soul of the item! The three little shades take candelabra-based bulbs, and I'd recommend keeping the wattage down to about 25 watts each. You just want to make them sparkle with a little light -- the main bowl will provide you all the illumination you need (180 watts maximum there). With just 25 watts in each little shade that crack won't grow. There are three candelabra sockets in the center bowl, and each can be fitted with a 60-watt bulb. The metal, as you can also see, is top drawer, beautifully cast and of top quality brass and/or bronze (one small repair on one of the leaves that hold the arms onto the main ring). That canopy weighs a ton -- and have you ever seen a more fetching canopy in your LIFE!!??? No, you haven't. By the way, this fixture hangs down around 31 inches long and it's about 26 across. Of course, chain links can be taken out to shorten it, but I can't add any, since these are quite unique (I've never seen this chain before).
