UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS VERY UNUSUAL GAS TO ELECTRIC LAMP CONVERSION.THE TOP PART IS MADE FROM A GREEN ENAMEL RAILWAY STATION GAS LAMP FROM THE LATE VICTORIAN PERIOD. IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL BRASS FITTINGS AND ORIGINAL GREEN PAINT.THIS ORIGINAL RAILWAY LAMP HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO A FOUR LAMP CHANDELIER, USING COPPER PIPING AND FINISHED WITH FOUR BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE “PETAL” HOLOPHANE LAMPS.HOLOPHANE IS A MANUFACTURER OF LIGHTING PRODUCTS AND WAS FOUNDED IN LONDON IN 1898. THE HALLMARK OF HOLOPHANE SHADES IS THE “BOROSILLICATE” GLASS REFLECTOR/REFRACTOR. THE RIBBED PRISMATIC GLASS PROVIDES A COMBINATION OF UPLIGHT AND DOWNLIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ANY ENVIRONMENT EVENLY WITHOUT CREATING DARK SPOTS OR GLARE. THIS RIBBED GLASS REFRACTOR IS SO NAMED “HOLOPHANE” AND IS ICONIC IN VINTAGE STYLE LIGHTING.THE CONVERSION IS A SIMPLE ELECTRIC PLUG CONVERSION WHICH WOULD VERY EASILY BE ADAPTED TO A CEILING LIGHT AND THE BULB FITTINGS ARE SIMPLE LARGE BAYONET.OVERALL, THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND LAMP WHICH WOULD LOOK JUST AS GOOD IN A VINTAGE SETTING AS IT WOULD IN MORE MODERN SURROUNDINGS.IT’S APPROXIMATE WIDTH IS 22″ (56cm) AND APPROX HEIGHT FROM THE BASE OF THE SHADE TO THE TOP OF THE BRASS FITTING IS 19″ (49cm).PLEASE SEE PICTURES AS THESE FORM THE BASIS OF THE DESCIPTION. I HAVE ADDED AS MANY PHOTOS AS THE LISTING ALLOWS BUT CAN SEND MORE VIA EBAY MESSAGING SERVICE IF REQUESTED.PLEASE BE ASSURED IT WILL BE SECURELY PACKAGED, POSTED AT COST AND WILL REQUIRE A SIGNATURE ON DELIVERY.ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE JUST ASK.
