Museum Quality Adams and Westlake Rail Car Center Lamp
About the Item
It's rare when you have the chance to purchase objects from an individual's lifelong collection. The depth of knowledge and network of this important collector/expert can't be duplicated. We had the opportunity to see these lamps first-hand and acquire some of the best examples. That's why we closed shop for almost a week and drove half-way across the country. This is one of the rare early decorative train car lamps from this collection. 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 of that era. They were also part of the elaborate personal train cars built for The Rockefeller's and Vanderbilt's. Here is a beautiful signed original double chandelier still retaining its original milk glass shades. It was carefully wired to take a standard bulb. We mounted the lamp to a 24 inch diameter finished wood disk. It can be kept that way or mounted directly to the ceiling without the wood just as it was mounted on the train. This lamp is signed Adams and Westlake, New York. We found the lamp in an early Adlake Car Lighting Catalog and looks to be a No.91 Center Oil Chandelier. What makes this lamp most interesting is the nickel plating and condition. Almost all these lamps are found with a brass finish. making the bright nickel very rare. This lamp also features a unique large central student style fount. The lamp has been converted to take 2 standard E26 bulbs.
This is a nice piece of railroad history. Note that the pamphlet pictured is not available and for reference only.
