For your consideration is this Working Vintage Lightolier Rustic Black Iron Look and Real Wood Hanging Pendant Light Fixture.
This is an extremely unique and beautiful lighting fixture in complete working order.
It has a hammered black iron look with four arms descending to surround a large, real solid wood, central block of about 9" tall by about 5" square.
The four lighting arms swoop up to small tin-like cups which hold the lighting sockets.
The lighting sockets hold the standard "B10" chandelier bulbs.
The lighting sockets have a thin plastic shroud of about 3" tall and 1 1/2" round which mimic a short thin candle.
The electrical wiring is original and completely usable as-is.
The piece has no major defects, but is old and has been well used.
The arms appear to maybe have some light scratches, but I truly think this is part of the item's original 'look' because the scratches are consistent on each arm. (pictures 10 & 11)
The lighting sockets are all in stable and working condition, but the (easily replaceable) plastic shrouds are discolored from age and slightly melted due to the heat of the bulbs over the years, using LED bulbs will likely prevent this from happening in the future.
Under the shroud, the B10 sockets themselves are surrounded by cardboard, and these too have some age and heat damage, but not to any unexpected extent.
This offering comes with everything to mount the fixture to a ceiling box, including the screws and (new) wire nuts.
If you are in the search for an original vintage rustic looking fixture, you cannot go wrong here!
**Also, I do have a second matching one (slightly shorter chain) that I would consider selling as well if you need a "pair"
The particulars:
This is a solid and well built fixture and weighs in at 11 pounds, just as it sits.
There are 21 links in the swag chain, which is easily shortened or lengthened.The main fixture part is about 17" tall and 16" wide.
Adding the current chain and the fixture, this item is about 50 1/2" (4' 2 1/2") in length from the top of the canopy to the base of the fixture.
**Please note that the shipping is auto-calculated by eBay and is based on the size and weight of the packaged and boxed item as well as your distance from me in Princeton, NC.
As with everything, I strongly encourage free local pick up!!!
