Description
Lovely old chandelier mounting plate rescued from a turn of the century brownstone house. This has a small label underneath saying "lightolie" which i think indicates this was made by Lightolier, an American lighting fixture manufacturer. Lightolier was founded in 1904 as the New York Gas & Appliance Company, & when electricity became more prevalent, they changed their name to "Lightolier", a contraction of "light" & "chandelier". The company continued production throughout the 20th century, & in 2007 it was absorbed into Phillips. This cover plate is made in a baroque or industrial or steampunk style, & it is in good original condition. The metal is cast & molded with good detail, & the underside is stamped "Lightolier" & "950". The solid hexagonal cast piece measures about 7 5/8" across from tip to tip, & 2 1/4" deep. The socket for the light bulb feels very securely fastened, & of course it's recommended to re-wire this before using with electricity. The whole piece weighs just over 2 pounds, so it's solid but not so heavy that you have to worry about how to mount it. in good condition. FREE shipping within the United States.
