Early Gas Electric Chandelier with Buttercup and Cream Slag Art Glass and Rare Crystal "Crosshatch" Shades #C102601A: c.1905. This solid brass lamp has a rich dark brown patina. I had to lighten some of the photos to show detail. Also, the next to the last three photos show the correct color of the slag art glass. It really is more towards buttercup. This is very unusual as most lamps had a brown-butterscotch color. This outstanding lamp measures 37" in length with a diameter of about 22". Each of the rare Holophane crystal "crosshatch" shades has a diameter of 6". (A3783) Price: $2885.00
