10 Large Vintage Holophane Sailors Hat Fixtures, c.1930

About the Item

Selling in 2 lots of 10 each. Yes 20 total. Holophane glass has a unique look all their own. Their crystalline sparkle and shine is like no other vintage glass we have seen. The design on these are dubbed "Sailor's Hat". They consist of two pieces of glass which are held together with 3 rods with a metal ring at the top and the kidney shaped washers at the bottom They are shown on new nickel plated fixtures and the glass is from the 1930's. The glass is ribbed, both inside and outside, in a way to maximize the dispersion of light from the bulb. These have about a 6" opening at the bottom which allows for some nice down light. These are out of an old Catholic school in Wisconsin which was demolished in the 80s. These are substantial and heavy fixtures with a width of 15 1/4" The drop as shown is 18 inches, which can be adjusted. There are a couple options for the nickel fitters including chain or flush mount. The glass itself is 8 inches high. Ships dissembled so minor assembly will be required.
